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.

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. Furthermore, M-Pesa's integration with online casinos has fostered financial inclusion by enabling users, including those without access to traditional banking systems, to participate in online gaming. With its emphasis on security, ease, and speed of transactions, M-Pesa continues to contribute significantly to the online casino industry, marking a pivotal shift in how Kenyans engage in online gaming.
