The Gaming Board of Tanzania (GBT), led by its Director General, is participating in a national workshop taking place in Morogoro from 9 to 13 November 2026, aimed at preparing the country for the Third Round Mutual Evaluation on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT).

The workshop was officially opened by the Deputy Minister for Finance, Hon. Eng. Mshamu Ali Munde, who represented the Minister for Finance, Hon. Ambassador Khamis Mussa Omar. The National Multi-Disciplinary Committee on AML/CFT, in collaboration with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), organised the workshop by bringing together representatives from various government institutions to strengthen the country's preparedness for the evaluation.

The gaming industry is one of the sectors that requires close monitoring to prevent its potential misuse for money laundering and other financial crimes. As the regulator of the industry, GBT is responsible for ensuring that gaming operators comply with relevant laws and regulations and put in place appropriate measures to manage these risks. GBT's participation in the workshop is therefore important in strengthening GBT's contribution to the country's broader efforts to combat financial crimes. It also provides an opportunity to engage with other institutions, share knowledge and enhance coordination in addressing ML/TF risks.

GBT remains committed to strengthening oversight of the gaming industry and working with relevant authorities to promote compliance, transparency and the integrity of Tanzania's financial system.
