Namibia’s Gambling Board boosts industry access with new enquiry booth
The Gambling Board of Namibia has opened an enquiry booth at the Business and Intellectual Property Authority headquarters in Windhoek as part of the government’s One-Stop for All Businesses initiative.
Namibia.- The Gambling Board of Namibia (GBN) has opened an enquiry booth at the headquarters of the Business and Intellectual Property Authority (BIPA) in Windhoek, providing an additional access point for stakeholders in the country’s gambling sector.
The new desk forms part of Namibia’s “One-Stop for All Businesses” initiative, which brings together government agencies to simplify administrative processes and provide services to businesses and members of the public in a central location.
In a public notice, the board said: “We are pleased to inform members of the public that GBN is now available at the BIPA Head Office as part of the One-Stop for All Businesses Initiative.” Through the booth, members of the public and industry stakeholders can now direct enquiries to the regulator and engage with the GBN through the government’s one-stop service centre.
The Gambling Board of Namibia oversees the country’s gambling sector, including the licensing and regulatory oversight of betting and gaming activities operated under national legislation.
Earlier in 2026, the Gambling Board of Namibia issued a public notice directing licensed casino operators, gambling houses and other licence holders to settle outstanding gambling levies and regulatory fees. The regulator warned that operators who fail to clear arrears could face penalties, including the possible suspension or withdrawal of licences.
