Kenya gaming operators’ body highlights revenue jump and governance reforms at 2026 AGM
AGOK members increased from 12 to 51 operators over the past year.
Kenya.- The Association of Gaming Operators Kenya (AGOK) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on April 17, 2026, bringing together members to review industry performance, governance matters and regulatory developments in the gaming sector.
According to figures presented at the meeting, the association reported 280 per cent revenue growth over the past year, alongside an increase in membership from 12 to 51 operators.
Members also approved a revised constitution aimed at strengthening internal governance structures and improving coordination among licensed gaming operators.
The AGM noted continued engagement with the Finance Bill 2026 process, as industry stakeholders continue submitting proposals covering taxation, licensing conditions and compliance requirements affecting gaming firms in Kenya.
The association said the AGM outcomes reflect a shift towards stronger industry alignment as Kenya’s regulatory environment continues to evolve. Operators at the meeting discussed the need for predictable policy frameworks to support investment, reduce compliance uncertainty and sustain growth across both retail and digital gaming segments.
Looking ahead, AGOK indicated that it will prioritise continued dialogue with regulators and policymakers, while expanding its membership base and strengthening self-regulation within the sector.
Kenya’s gaming sector has continued to expand in recent years, driven by mobile penetration and online betting platforms, while also facing increasing scrutiny over taxation, advertising standards and consumer protection measures.
The association said the AGM outcomes will guide its 2026 work plan, with emphasis on governance, regulatory engagement and industry sustainability. Stakeholders are expected to continue contributing to policy consultations as new legislative proposals are considered.
