and it has an awful lot of the people. i mean the guy, so was any 1800 meter, now you have to be. wow. so i mean, you and every time, maybe in a couple of every months ago, said the guy, one of the toner, knew i was on with that 155 me that was on the come on, man. how are you really one, there's no god, no the guy moves is being able to do. okay. good. no problem. but i believe it's less as being used so many police news you one day you're told to does try $1.00 to $1000.00. there are you try are you went, wow. well i pay your celebration. i love you, resolve the you you put all you want me then i do. i love it is gone. i got your duck on the wrong. got to go to school. you found, you offered a little man, i'm going through what i'm talking about right. for the thing is going explain. mention 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 person list. 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, we've done them, 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. can i need talk to young again? that is 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 balance of full capital of uganda compiler. now just sitting is listen, it was what people here called betting, or gambling houses. so to everyone 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 here incompatible the legal age for betting is 25 probably the highest in the world. you 1st came into contact with gambling when he was to 17. do you remember that 1st? i was given a fusion? yeah. uh, based school fees at school. so i said, if i put my 400000 shootings, i'm going to get it maybe and you know, i lost that for sure. i did it, but you know, with the study. 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 bed. 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 to it, that was just influenced by afraid to bring for basing because he's, i would beta chevy. he's that dictate sized his phone. he just wrote the money to me after then 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 best thing or you use to there is that spirit of addiction. most of the big thing companies that begin at 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. mean that to me not always. second, there is something about to that you can read still, even the, the visual mind there's that's predicted to you i need to get to more. okay, so you're calling it a series that tells you i have to do. you think that's addiction? i think that diction. yeah, yeah. all right. uh let me hear from you catch me because i know that you actually actively involved in the industry. you work for a betting agency and do you what was the best thing. so what's your experience? i see people coming according to the online side, be they're like, wow, well, you know, it can be no very useful. one was used to explore and rage, 200 shooting. then he won $100.00 and then the but the buckles beat. it's

like when you get that money, you'll be like, let me put the book. then i double i people that these are that you end up losing him. so what kathleen is describing is very familiar to of a 50 percent of the youth in this country who will actually pulled like 0 pulling 2021. and that's the number of people who said that they were actively betting. now 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 millennial. but why are we talking about it? yeah, and you're going to hook you up. i think this debate does not happen in a 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 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 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 so fearful they might fall into an addiction. patricia, talk to me in that, so say add to the policy bed thing us anymore. thing they see does a bad thing. they because it does it poll beds to dispute sexual because most people, but they don't walk you up to just big for someone to give you a life. 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, he said, 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, does the morris because eliza society's always african up turns out of her concerns . if i explained to us,

do she want enough time because she's used to the african they've style. okay, so does your mom know, you bet, for example, no, 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 submit money instead of trying to much data might be about deposit. that'd be a concept that's more might be interested in 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 quality. it's something that takes him over on that he's going to dixon. i'll break it down as much as a con. i'm going to talk about dope. i mean, you'll find me and if feel good home on, it makes you feel good. and you won't be surprised that don't mean that i do

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 anticipation not the winning or the losing. so play we not lose so long as you 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 in how we twats 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 cobra. your mind is like 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 want to talk about the best site of betting we and for me, uh, these people know lived and looked like you very weak. we have someone who is over

$100000.00 in uganda, that is, that on the $800800.00 medians i agree, but this one of how many of course we cannot or be lucky you will, 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 all to be a regional one, we'd love 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 the young people, as we said earlier, not putting money down that because of what to lose. the government should put those going fours cause the younger people are the how we combined. and then they are still in schools, so they need to be regulated, they're both of them cutting 3. you cannot open a bidding compound on an account or no, not. and without the national id id before the. so that's why you pull up to video account. your id should be starting, you are about 50. okay, what about the online gaming and gum? that's what i'm talking about. i do uh the account for being on a company in a bidding company without one late. no, not. you must be 25 guys. these people updating you. they are bidding below 25. yes,

they are using other people's accounts, which is someone that the government cannot control. 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 it's acceptable to addiction. what are the things that people can look out for? if you feel so compelled you like control the restart odds that you feel, then the 2nd step would be can you control that? i, that many bad consequences that happening. but do you keep us going? it's time to understand that you need till one more thing. i find it very unfortunate. that's 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. you know, ration and weight sweeping for a whole generation we've uh, you 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 on you cannot be left to $100.00 times midway easily. so it is not about how much of bed, how much of sticking going to, how many tvs? what about sticking for bedding wise to do your research? ok, okay, uh let me hear from the 2 of you. ok, i know for 5 months as the regulations are that we really have a big problem when it comes to implementation, regulate the sick to let this the best example as puts the house in order to ensure that you can continue subbing that website and ensuring that you can minimize on the adverse effects for 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 else that 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 is the good device. yes, we are losing us to be a surprise, then you are interested 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 before you've gone 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 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 which, but you take you a 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 didn't do you see how divided opinions are on whether a sports betting is beneficial or not?

well we're not, i was really depressed. i wouldn't say that things completely bad or wrong because it's source of income to some people. but if your risk in your mind the, let's say a business mind your country scale capital for betsy. no one put some money for you to be in just $1.00 to $2.00 of up like that. yeah. so it's, uh, it's a business note, that means your way to try to do that. so i'm 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 beats out the way that you called on the beach? so you look on major, do we do with the physical or do we do the vehicle? 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 data type, 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 individual countries and how quinn is the business anyway? of correspondence from south africa and 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 matches 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 kenyans 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 to 36. whether kind of government is re key and tax money pressing,

disclose usually controversial $1.00 because of the effects that it's gonna 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 bits and companies have sprung up across the country, offering young people the chance to cross country, engage in bits and all year around the pre balance of best. and i live in force, the government. we introduced a tax on revenue accrued from back in 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 and gonna watch football as an official of to football clubs. we investigated by the police for fixing and much robust squarespace in some

of these play as an official 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 the did, she's a world class 1000000000 player and an inspiration for so many others. did you know that one of the continents best to say is it's a woman, some of the gun down, some stories has done out of the system and to that part of the condition on skills is in a go. my name is rookie and i don't have one more minute i might have becoming a champion, and i knew that i would become one that champions rookie and i goes, john, you from a small town beloved play up to offer desktop female athletes? indigo game is nothing short of extraordinary. while you know, for what it takes a journey of self discovery, it's no money down to offering it to the scene that's coming from a homeless background. and with little education i discovered to as a life change that would provide everything i need it done. one which one will change? i've gotta of the 25 year old poor play, a boost,
