but most do not. let me guess last, almost what 50000. yeah. these are like i, i know get myself not. i mean i'll get myself like something was going on. like from the way my body's thoughts getting hold. it's our like was being always go and i want to like my mom was talking to me. i would like, what does that mean to me? one moment as i am us, i, brittany says i would like. she wasn't with i like 5 minutes. you know, to my wizard. she doesn't, i like do onto the pricing. the one on the license already. all set to myself, after leaving the vetting sho, get you cool, immediately heads home to stop bitching online using his smartphone critics in that jury, i have complained about the predictability practices of between companies and the lack of supports for id. in that junior, it's estimated that over 60000000 people gamble, many are young that you and seeking to overcome a bottom, unemployment and poverty. and believe the betting is

a quick fix solution to them money problems. what they don't know or more precisely don't want to know is that the game is fixed and they can never, we look as always we as they also have other somebody moving us thinking is on commission anyway. and every time you run, i've lost my little bit about a few times when you, when it was a small portion of the that was the rest of the chunk of them. of those legal service events allowed to can do more. no worries about the tact expecting companies in that do a used to attract customers to save these businesses often employ social media. influence is to encourage company they present themselves as betting and sharpen use, claiming to have correct the coach to profitable companies. and there's a guy called me, all of it gets quite straight, is trending. and it has an awful lot of the people, i mean, the guy. so with any 100000000, now you have to be wow, funding. you know,

be time maybe in couple of every month because the guy want a lot for the new goes on with that $155.00 me those on the come on man. how are you really one of those. i know the guy moses the, those is the okay, good. no problem. but i believe it's less of uh, being used so many police do use you one day you're told to just try one to 1000. there are you try are you when? wow. well, i think you're celebrated. i love you resolved off you, you put all you want me then i do. i never moved on. i got your duck on the account for you all for a little man. i'm going through what i'm talking about right for vetting is growing exponentially. we over a 100 betting companies operating in nigeria to may be profitable. the local regulation and taxation has increasing numbers of young people throwing the hot on money into a blossom less. now here's the statistic that blew me

away just in 2022. the global sports betting market was worth $83000000000.00 us dollars and the sector is projected to grow immensely. let's head to the venom, capital kampala to find out what's driving people to spend. so much of their own money on a game of chance are calling it is kim, i need talk to young ugandans about their views on sports bidding. and let me tell you the street debate is on via the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. strict debate this week, we are in the bound to full capital of uganda compiler. now just sitting as little with what people here called betting or gambling houses. so today we want to find out from the young people here is going to bring a net positive or negative for this society. and i want to begin with my friend chris here because i have, we were speaking. and despite the fact that here in composite of the legal age for

betting is 25 probably the highest in the world. you 1st came into contact with gambling. when he was the 17. do you remember that 1st i was given a fusion? yeah. uh, base school fees at school. so i said, if i bought my 400000 shootings, i'm going to get it maybe, you know, i lost that for sure. i did it. but you know, with studies. well, yeah. so that's how i can stop on. and i was a little bit to go out, you know, how does it a little bit to go? i don't go way back to badging. okay, so let me speak to rebecca here for a 2nd because you're not quite a season. but uh as, as chris is tell me a little bit about your relationship with sports betting and how you got introduced suite that was just influenced by afraid twain for basing because he's, i would beta actually, he's addicted, phased his phone, he just wrote the money to me after that he told me that to me one sunday. okay, let me hear from the gentleman here. what's your experience be like, are you coming to the betting or you used to there is that spirit of i did sure.

most of the big thing companies that begin at low wage, they use hub that you got in them. that's when i put this one so that i can, i can get like 20000000 within it. mean that to me not always. second, there is something about to that to convince to even though they, they, each on monday there is that's predicted to you, i need to get more. okay. so you're calling it a series that tells you have to do you think that's addiction? i think that diction. yeah. yeah. all right. uh let me hear from you kathleen, because i know that you actually actively involved in the industry. you work for a betting agency and you what was the best thing. so what's your experience? i see people coming according to the online type, the, they're like, wow, well, you know, it can be, you know, they're yourself, one was used to explore on ridge 202 days. then he won 100 and then the but the bad part of it, it's like when you get that money, you'll be like, let me put the book. then you double i people that these are that you end up losing

. so what catherine is describing is very familiar to about 50 percent of the youth in this country who will actually pulled by jill pulling 2021. and that's the number of people who said that the active you, betsy, know, this number might come as a surprise to many people. but what do you see that these appropriate because bending on its own, it's a past same, it's existed for millennia. but why are we talking about it? yeah, and you're going to hook you up. i think this debate does not happening and vacuum . there is a little unemployment, but how did we get to a point where gambling is a reliable source of income? and i see that knowing it's very ironic it, it does become such a indeed and the other was just to imply that it, people do not just because of course, what does they also pull but those just as the ones. but she has mentioned that someone can be able to change it the minimal amount of money, and they can get the west exorbitant amount of money that the reason for them to

get back. ok. so let me talk to somebody who said they would never actually better because they're still fearful they might fall into an addiction. patricia, talk to me in that, so say add to the policy bed thing. that's numerous thing they see does a bad thing. they because it does it poll beds to dispute substrate because most people, but they don't walk us through just big for someone to give you. like when can you go and invest people bits as soon as the mirroring displaying, they are unemployed. okay, let me, let me speak to the better. yeah. you've been called in disappoint unemployed. an ethical to some degree. is this through no expense, by the way, would you agree that the acceptability is really not that up to the i? i don't think they can use our crime and they don't see as the more because eliza societies, we african up turns the african parents if i explain, tries to she want enough time because she's used to the african dave style. okay. so does your mom know, you bet, for example, knows she doesn't know. hi,

mom. so what, why do you think you kept it from? how is it this sense of shame attached to your sense of moral. uh yeah, that's part of it. then also i thing to bring up, why don't you just save that money instead of trying to what to say there might be, but plus the concept that's more money i wanted to be. we actually have a child therapist with us here today. linda. so perhaps you can explain to us what exactly is happening to our brains when you're betting we had from a gentleman. i think he was telling us exactly how he's using qualities something that takes him over on daddy's gold at dixon. i'll break it down as much as a con. i'm going to talk about, don't put me. they'll find me and if feel good home one, it makes you feel good. and you won't be surprised that don't mean that just special nova we on even when you lose it still the same feeling each changes the chromebook visa of your mind. so the different mean system is rewarding. the

anticipation not the winning or the losing. so play win or lose so long as you will in that's periods you're getting the heat. exactly. what i really want young people to know is that these people have studied the human mind and how it works. and pretty much gets them giving you like those wins that he was talking about to hook you up and i'll tell you hooked. they take cold by your mind. he's like and what style take over. that's all right. let me ask one of because he actively encourages people to 2 beds. you work with an agency. i think you do a lot of advertisement in the media. do you feel like it's your responsibility to do this? and do you actually do that? yeah, 1st of all, uh i went to go about the best site of betting we and for me, uh, these people know lived and looked like you it, that a week we have someone who is over $100000.00 in uganda. that is that on the $800.00 fold on $800.00 median, i agree, but this one or how many? of course we cannot or be lucky you,

you would go to school $100.00 students and one or 2 with a bus. that is the most criminal unit, and i've done that. we kind of told the okay, if we're going to be a regional one, we'd work for you other ones. so let's hear from the brian. do you think that the government needs to put the types of control so that young people, as we said earlier, not putting money down because of what to lose the government to us. and with those going to those talk was younger people are the how we combined, and then they are still in schools. so they need to be regulated that both of them cutting 3. you cannot open a bidding compound on an account or no, no, no. and without the national id added to 4 days, that's why you will activate your account. your id should be starting you up above 50100. okay. what about online gaming and gum? that's what i'm talking about. i do uh the accounts having a company in a bidding company without one lane or not. you must be 25 guys. these people updating you. they are bidding below 25. yes, they are moving out of people's accounts, which is someone that the government cannot control, right?

so there's been some level of regulation and that's what you were talking about. and then we come back to you as adults because we're also not susceptible to addiction. what are the things that people can look out for? if you feel so compelled you lot control, there is that arch that you feel, then the 2nd step would be, can you control that i, that many bad consequences that are happening. but do you keep us going? it's time to understand that you need to. uh, one more thing. i find it very unfortunate that a young population like you've gone to where over 77 percent of the population is below 24 years old. the cost for you've done that would be creativity, you know, ration, and we us sweeping for a whole generation. we've used the don't want to use the brain, they just want to go the easy way. it's really unfortunate. well, so this whole idea of gambling being that you'd be way out is really seriously being reinforced. the rain is threatening to pull this part to you. so let me get some concluding remarks from you. we need to understand that it is the luck,

and you cannot be left to $100.00 times midway easily. so it is not about how much of that. how much of sticking going to, how many tvs or what about sticking forbidding ways to do your research? ok, okay, uh let me hear from the 2 of you. ok, i know for if i much as the regulations are that we really have a big problem when it comes to implementation, regulate this sick to lift this. the best example as puts the hosting order to ensure that you can continue subbing that website and ensuring that took on minimize on the adverse effects of their website. all right, so let me conclude with you because i think it's important to just to ground this back to reality. i think what one upset is, is right. the best thing in this country is very much legal. the regulations about it, but these are risk, especially when it comes to addiction. so closing for some of these problems, going to be solved from the realm of knowledge. we have seen cases where people die because of these. so you can still see that it's a good device. yes,

we are losing us to be a surprise. then you all interest site in a different place. all right, at the beginning of this debate, i asked, do you think that's dumpling a betting is a net positive or net negative for you're going to? i want to see, is it good for the country? raise your hands. is it bad for the country? raise your hand. well, it is i, i don't know. i don't know how to how to call that, but the audience back home. i think you've seen the i have it within days have you . i'm not sure which is rich, but you take your gamble. thank you all so much for watching the to thank you so much. it is, and everybody who took part in that street debate not didn't do you see how divided opinions are on whether a sports betting is beneficial or not? well, we're not quite done with you've done the ends in how gambling has a firm grip on some of them. we talked to 3 men who share their personal stories

and what i admire about this is that they are not sugar coating anything. i no longer take various pleasant duties as a month. i did the the bread but i know things like on me. i kind of still pause. i've lost a lot. is it? no, no, i think i can get both of my money. but the my food thing, so i'm continuing to lose that. so my hot down there when they were not i'm a very bad experience. we rates what that i was because they messed up like i couldn't imagine. now i could call my month to, to, and i've lost the money. i didn't of i stay here for that. i was really depressed. i wouldn't say that things completely bad or wrong because it's so sort of income to some people. but if your risk in your mind the, let's say

a business mind your country's keel kept it off of betsy. no ones put some money for you to wait and get them to save up like that. yeah. so it's, uh, it's a business note, that means you away. chevy too. that's going to actually give you money for free. even government do. so if it gets out of money from those companies, it's small or big. you've got to least say that it's a budget and you'll get them, but think they've already gotten much. does the psychological beats out the way that it would only be? so you look on major, do we do with disabled or do we, do they go to me? do we need the money? do we need do a mental health. so it's, you've got to strike a balance between those 2 because of yesterday and, and then a time i, which was the money. well, i really appreciate how honest these people from uganda, where, because i don't think it's easy to talk openly about a habit that has cost you lots and lots of money. now the last person we heard raised an important point. bedding is big business, a multi $1000000000.00 industry. so how relevant is the sport spitting sector for

an individual countries and how quinn is the business? any way of correspondence from south africa, gonna end. can you have some answers? how much do i bet and where do i even start? i have no idea. i'm sure there must be some experience spaces around because i'm like me. kenyans are parents, the advocates, bethany experts, or at least according to the survey, by the research from beautiful they are the african countries that's, that's the most a national statistics don't deny it. according to the latest data, about searching preventive can say that they doubling gambling in 2023 alone, kenyon spent $67000000.00 us dollars and the most likely people to that. a man between the ages of $18.00 to $76.00, whether kenyan government is re key and tax money pressing those usually controversial $1.00 because it picks up, it's gonna have on one financial stability and family income. and then that's the government. he said, specifically, online banking companies might be used for money laundry, or tax evasion,

which is why it can you haven't really just clamped down and wants to implement from the laws to regulate the industry. many. but then companies have sprung up across the country, offering young people the chance to cross country and gauge in bits and all year around the free balance of vision as living for us, the government. we introduced a tax on revenue accrued from vaccine march to the displeasure of patrons, but i've been many instances of business condos as well in 2021. for example, that was in mid your scandal in gonna win football lesson officials for football clubs. we investigated by the police for fixing and much robust squarespace in some of these plans will officials web bond, but the phenomenon press phase now with changes in technology, almost every sport is fair game for book make it in 2013 casino is accounted for

the vast majority of gambling revenue in south africa, sports basing was just 7 percent of that total. 10 years later, the picture looks completely different. sports betting accounts for more than 50 percent of the old gambling revenue. events like last year's rugby world cup and the english premier league a major money spent is for sports between agencies. but they're not only interested in the big leaks, many lower division games also end up on the radar. interesting insights from across africa. thank you so much, dan, isaac and philip. now i think that everyone needs to make their own decision on whether they want to spend their money on sports betting or not. but i also believe that we should have the courage to bet on ourselves. we have a sort of stars, the other is look up to and that's exactly why through key and i go from you've done that. she's a world class 1000000000 player and an inspiration for so many others. did you note
