Zambia.- Nigeria-based responsible gambling organisation GamblePause<\/strong> has completed its registration in Zambia, paving the way for the launch of its operations in the country as part of its broader expansion across Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Abiose, GamblePause will begin operations in Zambia in collaboration with GamAid Zambia. The partnership will focus on strengthening responsible gambling measures, enhancing player protection, and preventing gambling-related harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
