Mobile money (M-Pesa/Vodacom, Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa, HaloPesa, Ezypesa) is the dominant payment rail for Tanzanian bettors; bank-card penetration is low. The formal PSP stack is limited and operators typically integrate directly with mobile-money APIs via aggregators. The Bank of Tanzania oversees mobile money under the National Payment Systems Act 2015, and AML obligations apply to operators and mobile-money providers. Tax payments route through TRA's Revenue Gateway System. Source-of-funds checks are nascent.
