By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
Burundi brought new gambling tax rules into force on 12 August 2026, reported by iGaming Afrika. Operators face a 10% royalty covering deposits and withdrawals, plus a 10% socio-economic levy calculated on gross profits. Payments overdue by more than one month trigger licence suspension until operators clear their debt.
Why it matters
Operators face higher tax obligations and risk losing permission to operate if payments remain overdue for more than one month.
