Association Mandates & Core Pillars
BIGAZ brings together certified wagering stakeholders in Zambia to champion responsible practices, protect players, ensure fiscal compliance, and eliminate illegal gambling dens.
Industry Advocacy
Serving as the unified consultative voice representing bookmakers on the Betting Control Act (Cap 166), Casino Act (Cap 157), Lotteries Act (Cap 163), ZRA tax compliance, and FIC Anti-Money Laundering frameworks.
Self-Regulation & Fair Play
Enforcing binding operational standards across member houses for prompt, guaranteed payout of winnings, fair and certified odds, dispute mediation tribunals, and certified RNG math.
Responsible Gaming & Youth Protection
Zero tolerance for underage wagering (strict 18+ enforcement), cross-operator National Self-Exclusion integration, deposit limits, and 24/7 funding of national toll-free support helpline 0800 200 400.
Combatting Illicit Wagering
Operating in coordinated taskforces with the Zambia Police Service, municipal councils, and telecom regulators to impound uncertified coin-drop slot machines and block unlicensed offshore bookies.
"If You Decide to Bet, Bet Responsibly"
The Bookmakers & iGaming Association of Zambia (BIGAZ) leads nationwide public education across sports betting and casino gaming to promote ethical wagering, enforce strict 18+ age verification, and prevent problem gambling.
Matchday Football Betting
Bet for entertainment. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Empowerment & Fair Play
Wagering should never compromise personal or family financial security.
Stay in Control
Set deposit limits before match kick-off. Keep wagering fun and lawful.
Table & Card Gaming
Every round is a game of chance. Never chase losses or borrow money to wager.
Poker & Chips on Felt
Know when to fold. If you stop having fun, step away and take a timeout.
Protecting Our Youth & Empowering Bettors Across Zambia
The official television and radio PSA produced by BIGAZ in collaboration with statutory regulatory authorities. Broadcast across all 10 provinces to educate sports fans, retail bettors, and families on the four Golden Rules of Responsible Play.
Protecting Zambian Communities From Illegal Gambling
Unlicensed gambling operations, illegal tavern slot machines, and rogue offshore online betting portals violate the Betting Control Act (Cap 166) and the Casino Act (Cap 157). They evade taxes, cheat players, and target vulnerable minors.
Report an Unlicensed Operator
Reports are shared directly with BIGAZ Legal Counsel and the Zambia Police Service Taskforce.
