Zimbabwe Announces Increase In Lottery And Casino Licensing Fees

In a shock move, the Zimbabwean government has announced its decision to severely increase the amount of money required to run a casino, lottery or betting shop within the southern African country.

Not only that, but they also gave operators very little time to react to the news, making the announcement in late February and stating the new licensing fees and costs would come into effect immediately. However, they did not state how it would affect applications that have already been made and are pending approval.
