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 simple. there's always we also have other somebody moving us thinking don't permission anyways. and every time you run, i've lost my, the bucks a few times when you, when it was a small portion of the that was the rest of the chunk of them. i've lost legal serves the dent or logical. i'd be more worried about the tact expecting companies in that do a used to attract customers. she sees 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 was a 100000000 now yesterday. wow. funding. you know the time maybe in couple of every

month because the guy was on the phone and he lives on with that 1. 65 me those on the come on, man. how are you really one of those. i know the guy movies the. those is there. okay, good. no problem. but i believe it's less as being used so many police use you one day you're told to does 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 live in is gone. i got your duck on the, which is where you found you offered a little man. i'm going to what i'm talking to, the thing is growing exponentially. we over a 100 vetting 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 betting. 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 the city is linked to with what people here called betsy 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 the society. and i want to begin with my friend chris here because i hear you were speaking. and despite the fact that he are

incompatible 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 the 1st time 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 a point, 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 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 as, as chris is telling me a little bit about your relationship with sports betting and how you got introduced suite, that was just influenced by afraid to bring for basing because he's, i would beta actually, he's addicted phase 2 phones. he just wrote the money to me after that and 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 betting or you used to there is that spirit of addiction. most of

the bits in companies that begin at a low wage, they use hub that you got in them. that when i put this one, so then i can, i can get like 20000000 within. it may not of, it may not always. second, there is something about to that to convince to even the, the, the, each on monday there is just speed that will tell you, i need to get more. okay. so you're calling it a series. the tells you have to do you think that's a dixon? i think set diction. yeah. yeah. all right. 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 reported to them. i'm sorry, be they're like, wow, well, you know, it can be, you know, they're yourself one. will you fix prolonged rage $200.00 shooting. then he won 100 and then the by the bad part of it, it's like when you get that money, you'll be like let me put it back. then i double i people that these are,

did you end up losing him? so what catherine is describing is very familiar to of a 50 percent of the youth in this country who will actually pulled by geo pulling 2021. and that's the number of people who said that the active, you bet, take. now this number might come as a surprise to many people, but what do you say that these appropriate because best thing on its own, it's a path 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 suddenly and via that was just to imply that it, people do not just because of course, what does they also full but as just as the ones. but she has mentioned that someone can be able to inject 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 bet because they're still fearful they might fall into an addiction. patricia talk to me in that societies because the bad thing that's a numerous thing they see does a bad thing. they because it does, it go bids to dispute suction, 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 actually i, i don't think they can use our crime and they don't see as the more because eliza societies oh, we african up turns the african parents. if i explain to us, do she want enough time because she's used to the african lifestyle. okay, so does your mom know, you bet, for example, knows she doesn't know. hi,

mom. 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 the way. don't you just sit that money instead of trying to explain? i might be budget plus a $90.00 a concept that's more money i wanted to be. we actually have a child therapist with us yet 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 feels, the quality, it's something that takes him over and that he's going to dixon. i'll break it down as much as they con, i'm going to talk about. don't put me up on 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 dump them in system is rewarding the onto the

patient, not the winning or the losing. so play we not lose so long as you will in that series 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 after you hooked, they take cold by your mind. he's like, it was style take over. that's all right. let me ask one of because he actively encourages people to, to bets. 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 want to talk about the best site of betting we and for me, uh, these people know, living looked like you that a week we have someone who is over $100000.00 in uganda. that is that on the $800.00 out on $800.00 median, i agree, but this one or how many? of course we cannot or be lucky you will,

you will go to school $100.00 students and only 2 with a bus. that is the most criminal unit, and i've done that, we cannot all be okay. if we only 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 you said earlier, not putting money down that because of what you lose, the government should woods, those going floors off was younger people, are they how we combined? and then they are still in schools, so they need to be regulated with both of them. cutting 3, you cannot open a bidding compound on an account or not, or not. and without the national id added to 4 days. that's why you will activate your account, your id, so to be starting you up to about 600. okay. what about online gaming and gum? that's what i'm talking about. i've got a, uh, the code probably gonna come to an independent company without one late. no, 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. linda, let me come back to you as adults because we're also not susceptible to addiction. one of the things that people can do called for if you feel so compelled you lot control, there is that odds 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 on going? it's time to understand that you need till 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 going to would be creativity to, you know, ration, and we us sweeping for a whole generation. we use 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 the easy 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 cities, 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 top lip is the best example as puts the hosting in order to ensure that you can continue subbing that website and ensuring that you've gotten minimized on the adverse effects of the bad side. 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 else said 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 stop and still see that he's the good device. yes,

we are losing us to be a surprise then your 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 on that's 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 is, 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 eyes 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 that you do this and everybody who took part in that street debate. not then 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 the responsibilities as a month. i did i they read but i don't think 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, when that i'm a very mad experience, we rates what that i was that they messed up like. i couldn't imagine now i could call them my month to, to in of less of the money i didn't of i stay here for that. i was really depressed . i wouldn't say many 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 curio cabinet offer betsy. no one put some money for you when you get them to save up like, oh yeah. so it's, uh, it's a business note, that means you away. chevy to that's going to actually give you money for free even government itself. it gets out of money from those companies. it's small or big. you've got to really say that it's a budget and you'll get them. but think they've already gotten much. does the psychological meet out the way that you go to meet? so you look on major, do we do with disabled or do we, do they go to, i mean, do we need the money? do we need your 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 sports spitting sector for

individual countries and how quinn is the business? any way of correspondence from south africa and gonna end? can you have some answers? how much do i bets and where do i even start? i have no idea. i'm sure there must be some experience better as 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 13 percent of kenyan say that they doubling gambling in 2023 alone, kenyon spent $67000000.00 us dollars. and the most likely people to that i'm in between the ages of $18.00 to $36.00, whether kenyan government is re key and tax money pressing, disclose usually controversial $1.00 because of the effects that it can have on one financial stability and family income. and then that's the government. he said that 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 think companies have sprung up across the country, offering young people the chance to cross country and gauge in bits and all year around the pre balance of vision as living for us, the government. we introduced a tax on revenues accrued from back to 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 as an official of to football clubs. we investigated by the police for fixing a much robust squarespace in some of these plans and 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 what through key and i go from you've done the did. she's a world class 1000000000 player and an inspiration for so many others. did you note
