Is it legal to gamble online in Uganda?
This rebuilt rule page keeps the answer, scope, and future source links in one obvious place, without pretending the row is fully researched before official sources are attached.
Quick answer

Uganda has a licensed gambling framework under the National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board, so online gambling depends on whether the operator is properly licensed and regulated in Uganda.

What would need to be true

Exceptions
Known carve-outs or edge cases
The official sources reviewed here do not give a flat consumer yes or no for every online site, only that betting and gaming are regulated and licensed.
Penalties

Illegal gaming activity can face enforcement action by the regulator, including confiscation of illegal gaming machines and other action against operations outside the law.

Why the page is intentionally light
