In Kenya, the advent of M-Pesa, a mobile money service, has transformed various sectors, including online gambling. This change has led to the rise of M-Pesa online casinos which have become a prominent feature of the country's digital entertainment landscape. These casinos provide a platform for players to deposit, wager, and withdraw funds directly from their mobile phones, eliminating the need for traditional banking methods. The simplicity and convenience offered by M-Pesa have attracted a large number of users, thereby stimulating the growth of the online gambling sector in Kenya.
