Zimbabwe
ZWLast updated Sep 13, 2026
Zimbabwe licenses bookmakers, casinos, lotteries and gaming premises through the Lotteries and Gaming Board. The Board’s official operator locator is the strongest practical check, but a shop licence or a brand’s own claim does not automatically prove that every website or app is approved. This guide explains verification, payment safety and responsible gambling.

Gambling in Zimbabwe
The Betting and Totalizator Control Act and the Lotteries and Gaming Act provide the main licensing framework. The Lotteries and Gaming Board lists licensed operators and locations, including bookmakers and casinos. Because the public register is often location-based, check the exact company, outlet, website and product rather than assuming one approval covers every channel.
Checks before you bet
- Search the official Board operator locator and match the legal name and location.
- Ask the operator to identify the licence covering its website or mobile service.
- Check that deposits go to the licensed company, not an unrelated personal account.
- Avoid cloned pages, unofficial APK files and promises of guaranteed returns.
Payments and complaints
Use a traceable payment method in your own name and save receipts, bet IDs and withdrawal conversations. Read currency, identity, bonus and payout rules before depositing. Report suspected fraud immediately to the payment provider and preserve evidence. For licensing concerns, contact the Lotteries and Gaming Board with the operator name, outlet and domain.
Safer gambling
Set a spending limit before play, never use essential money or credit, and do not chase losses. Take a break and seek support if gambling affects bills, work or relationships.
