melissa, and it's potentially dangerous. i little moser, it shouldn't come to a batting shop if you have stress using your last money to bet. because if you don't, when you're collapse, people collapse here in the shop and we never know if it is true to hunger or any other conditions. people get hurt. here. we seen a lot of people that have collapsed here, puzzle mud, you mud. if you have a take on sports gambling across the african continent or experienced, we would love to hear from you in the youtube comment section right here. now live be part of today's show. and joining our discussion, we have said boom glazed somali semi linea katana. she is the executive director at the south african responsible gambling foundation. and she is in johannesburg. genius, my boss, a jolly is a social scientist at the malawi. epidemiology an intervention research unit. he

has studied youth participation in gambling, and he joins us from blank tire malawi and joining us from kenya's capital, nairobi, nelson. we re, is programs officer at the responsible gaming federation of kenya. se salon galle junius nelson. welcome is so good to have all 3 of you here. i'm going to start with a little assignment that we sent. i nairobi cru off to do in kenya earlier this week . they were outside of betting shop and they spoke to a couple of gamblers. and this is what they told us, betting that o at the beginning. well, res batting is removed many of us from a life of crime, but it has many advantages and one cannot sleep hungry if it is played right. so we ask for the government to support the batting injury fire on so nobody will get it in a bit in 2019 i $1900.00 but since then i've lost and lost. now i have no more money,

but i'm hopeful i will win next time by another. ah, how for the bread and neck spread that in 2019 and $1900.00 in a little down hill from jack. oh, the wrong way, i am wondering hearing those cautionary tales and optimism at the same time. why is sports breton doing so well across the african continent right now when he's driving that? yeah, i think one of the other reasons is that, you know, it's is an accessible, you know, i'm for, i sense in south africa actually don't have to go into a casino like you do, you do it on your mobile phone. yes. there are those that, that have updates, but one of the biggest driving factors in together in south africa is that it's accessible across or what vices. so that is the, for each to grow. but also, i'm, it's embedded in the sports. i mean, you know,

a big sport is, especially in south africa, if you see a lot of p, people across, across all our sporting, i think you've got to you quicker to go deal like be, you've got so caught. so it's, it's, it's popular, you know, sports is popular across the world. so in africa, why not, why would it not grow? i'm actually surprised that it took a very long time for sports. they tend to grow and if you look at it changes, i'm, so my guess to discuss it maybe started picking up in the, in the late ninety's all along. what's meeting in africa has been really most popular. what has been popular though is our customers are the genius, this idea of sports on the coffee african content being super popular to that means? does that necessarily mean that gambling then has to be super popular?

well, not an essay says, no sir, was to be like that in my opinion. but then these people are, this is this gambling companies or they have this is sophisticated marketing. they have this aggressive marketing well by a lake wide bungler and saying, you don't disturb to get a gambling a very little gumble and you, wherever you're going in the street, you are exposed to some gambling patterns. so it's like the marketing is very sophisticated and with that, people are exposed to gambling everywhere. you're exposed to gambling, where you are in the streets when you enter the dentist, because i'm like, wow, you will not walk 10 to 30 meters, are about to enter to meet as well, without seeing a billboard for a gambling company. like we have remembered as was and what was started by the feet

. that is if you and down, if you said to still also people blended with, it won't want you to feed, you find an out of it on the to be able to, for gambling. you leave the do you try to see, to check your form to say, let me do some internet, you find it out of it for a gambling on the internet. so you see they have to, for up to the sophisticated marketing mechanism. and this, that has, if you want to get growth of gambling industry, and many people close to doing that in our african setting, a, an improvement is very high. so when somebody is exposed to assuming it an opportunity that looks like is going to change the last leg from what that young man will say, they're easy to jump on it. now some get help, let, let me jump on that on. so for me, i really appreciate my fellow guests if my fellow panelists on these hours point because the gambling ah, is something that is,

are spreading like wildfire. it's got this feeling like 158 has been spreading before and the root cause has been dot gambling started. the traditional form of gambling was b because he knows it was maybe these informal, formal, informal beatings in their streets. but it wasn't on the way that we had envisioned, online gambling will bring it to, you had to go there. you had to have time to go there. you had to have time to q to play. you had to have time to q to collect your winnings. all these you had to do it in a, in their space and time that the premises that you are going to is opening. but right now when there we find that our gambling right now is something that you can do with your phone with all, ah, without any restriction. and i, it, it makes it very much a popular into very much secretive and accessible for people didn't even have those ready to gamble before anything. now, so let me give our audience some idea. some of the big betting companies across the

african called to have a look here on my laptop. i said we got back inc. my gerry, over 160000000. neither one using the a c. c, a bonus feature. but way, the best choice for betting, look at the phone it or on the phone. one more here. that night is mobile app help you bad on football, and no sound. got us slightly blame kenya and the bullion and passa, which brought banking to your phone, which means that the tech was available for people to. but even if they didn't have a banking, how they can do it so easily. is that an issue with the amount of sport spreading that is happening across the african continent and an uncanny definitely definitely. when you come to mobile money, alicia, is that the way we spend money on in the rural areas did even i used to have any form of banking before, but right now they can hi,

accessed banking anytime that they want just on their phone. it's as easy to send money as abc saw are the gambling companies also took advantage of that? and you can see that they have put, that they have seamlessly integrated their mobile money with their systems. so that when you deposit the money, it's immediate. and when you read the draw, it's immediate, i'll get these also with the sports betting coupled with our passion. you know, that's what we've, we haven't talked about our passion for sports as youths, as young people. our passion has been milk to by, by the companies and i, this is, it has brought, i bought, i can see a brilliant concussion. that is a safe haven for any gambling activities to continue in their, in africa. i just come in there. i think there's 2 things that i need to pick up on that a 1st of all oh, marketing facial taking pending. i've it, you know,

sort of going to context. we've got very strong legislations that actually made sure that you know it perhaps the amount of advertising or marketing by company. but it's, it's, it's actually amazing to say then was with what the regulation and the legislation that tabs, you know, how much people in the exposure of kids, of people. it's growing less if you can look at, you mentioned that way. it's one of the most responsible about it. i don't think that they have me actually go on social media and ties. and the key way, i think i'm the enticement longer, and they entice a little read. well, how, how would you describe enticement when you're talking about and a betting company, a gambling company out of how, how do you live in, in k? yeah, yeah, that's actually the one to 1. 900. 900 in 29 days. yes. so because you want to see if you gamble you,

you can become immediately. so in our context, we've got to what we call that response and we'll get, which is actually what open it is a slab to. they are mostly preventative, from advertising and testing people to say i'm, if you can, will use them in terms of becoming a media. nick is the same as i can assist them in our country who had to see, you know, trying to live with the, with the, with a interview. just because i that you know, when gambling happens, it needs to be a refundable, but that's not to take away the stigma that leads to i think i said one guy, i'm going to bring in the ceo of gamble alert in nigeria because he talks about this narrative is narrative about you, you can when you can when bake, and then genius come up the back of that because i know you want to take us in a different direction. so we're gonna do desire. ok. he has no relation. he's the

ceo of dan boy that we spoke to him earlier. this is what he told us. this is a zion battle gambling on young to fill the origin of africa, having both a negative one to push the se. gonna create a job opportunity for some person for that either good. i've been, you've learned about the negative impact on funding. young people can never say i'm going to need to issue it detailed addiction or financially. and therefore, i look forward to hearing those coming off of these laws, policies, and turn to responsible marketing stop in iraq to reach his mary's genius go hat. yeah. well, i from that video on to post who said that he has mission to say, hey,

gambling industry brings improvement. well find that good. yes, it brings improvement. but then i might not know from nigeria perspective, but then from our to say that we did to the center from the article that you pop, you cited. you say that the payment that is going to these weight. cuz when i talked to said that they'd been commission. so if you have been doing permission, it depends on how many tickets bitting tickets that you're sell. so, for example, one targeted one to start bidding. you start inventing as low as any question. so if you sell any quite a tickets, what is it if we're converted to dora is point 0000 cents. if we are conveniently in your store. so as you mean, somebody say, i say maybe $1520.00 by the end of the month, they pay and i don't know that will come from this a dumping job or not to be now hello. so why don't we accept that?

yes, it has created jobs. were fine and but the jobs and they did jobs that couldn't make somebody has survived one to set it. you know, there was even it, some people that a, a gumbo a, that even those that i any proven. so see, yes, i agreed to get involved in bremond, but then they put them in to self. why he does not give. they did it, they added to it added income. yet when i go to the gym cuz i am, are, was on each of our eager to get into that conversation. i'm gonna make this as speed around announcing your instant reaction to what our audience is there is picking up. um, so as a gamble is a must gamble respond simply, i'm not sure if that is an oxymoron. is it now thank when it comes to responsible gambling?

i think the gamblers are the ones who are suffering the button. i to be told that that responsible gambling only lies on their shoulders. but this is not the case. responsible. gambling is an environment created by all the call does. it's a multi faceted environment. that's what i think we had. the government should be responsible one. ah, because for the rules and regulations that they put in the enforcement of the rules and regulations to their gambling companies themselves, they should clear that responsible gambling environment. we are the identify at risk people, people who have issues and i said 3 got us methods to make about it to make sure that these people are being looked after and don't spiral into our problem gambling . i have another question. i mean, let me get, let me get, let me get back to you too, cuz i haven't completed just participate. so don't know if i could retorted that quickly. oh yeah, go ahead. thank you very much. oh, the another facet of their disposable. gimme

a gambling. it belongs also to this was that this was her, did, she will be able to, to, to stop the stigma that he, todds, and accessories specially to school. so if i look at to us portugal or most schools in k, i will find that they are but school drugs, policy, bab and alcohol policy and not i'm going crazy. i love, i love that. all right, i think i want to becky's on you chip. i'm going to put this to you, said bung delay very quickly again that he says there is need for serious regulation, especially with jen z gamble his thoughts yes, i mean, who is got the laws and he doesn't pay lead to anyone under the age of $18.00 together on any terms of this other kind of sponsible government foundation was going to what do we cause, taking risks wisely. it's a program that we actually take to schools where we teach people young kids in school about the effective or the effects of weight on it. because i haven't

thought they can't, it's built in a school environment to a keep. they were made up on everything and grow that would actually adopted that and behavior. so i can see that there was a kid that at least is that right? no one under the age of 18. so campbell, i'm going to bring him randolph here and randolph, i'm going to play for a you genius. and then immediately react of the back of where his largest concern. ah, his randolph contrary to the perception and a promise of an easy and see if we go from making money. these benson establishments have been set up to profit of losses of individuals. they are not the chinese iep organizations handing out of cash and copied out to the youth of africa rather be i here to dig from our vulnerable youth. so surely a moron by advertising these establishments. we are preaching to our youth to,

for hardwick and excellence in pursuit of fools, paradise well, is it okay from what you're saying? if i mean i'm to put it in this way gambling, it's a game of walk. that's the research and so understand that well, what did gum brings a game of or, or say even if you lose, but they'll still give you hope that may be say one more time unless are we yeah. yeah. so you find that it, somebody a will press a bit and lose, and then the net. is it a friend wizard? if the, when your soda maybe next tire, it will be more. so government, pres, lucille manage is a game of that. okay. even if you lose this, them don't lose look, look at your friends. they have tried, they have, well,

it will be next day. so these gum in governance did know that g, a, our african landscape largely these young population and the n, but racial, we love things. so we're being so sort of marketing to make you not to leave it in the us, even if you're on your for you see that you are losing but well, natalie was don't bring you something that is going to make him stay, give you hope that maybe next year, if you'd say you to be you, but i'm gonna just be up front her, we know that gambling is enticing, the idea is i keep going back, you keep going back. and so it's, it's often framed as an leisure activity, not a banking or employment activity. maybe it's on us as citizens to truly truly understand that i have to play a bet king out, which sums up this idea of responsible gambling. and then now thank

you. come off the back with your immediate reactions. let's have a look. ah ah, with 3 blue kings. okay. oh, thanks for that. i think that's, that's a very interesting advertisement. but what i see, what i don't i used to. i'm usually again, if it comes to are such advertisements regarding advertisement. if they shouldn't entice, they shouldn't be put in a way that it's are. it's like sugar courts,

orita it and taste it's maybe because i'm not much. i like these are kid. we'd have find it very, very interesting. and what that kid is looking at is actually gambling. but i don't know if they just see the name, but then we know government yesterday we we, i me focusing on it and i'm in italy suggesting that they don't treat her. but i mean when i go to collection, i did that. did he ever so we, we if that i normally conditions that stops this behavior, then obviously i'm can be a so i think to call, why is that a relation? it all, he does government take responsibility and put product relations in place to protect the public. but then i think i, i think this is a good,

a lot good on marketing tactic, which is very, very, i can say morally, my site because it's not honest, any advertisement should be honest. and it should be that property and it should be selling whatever it's prop, wanting to sell, not quoted under anything else i think got dizzy on so jessica had to read to me. i did not feel explain it to you. and i just wanting to touch base because i believe your organization and my organization we actually are working on making so that we can make, you know, i left tactics. we actually engage with the operators. you know, a message in the city should be conveyed to the public. i don't, it means i don't blame it. let me just add, just in case i forgot that you are funded by the betting and gambling organizations

in south africa. that is part of the regulation process to you are funded by an organizations who actually profit from people gambling. i think that's really important to understanding that's quite a difficult, tight road for you to walk. genius quickly. you are probably going to be the last word in this conversation. gotcha. yeah, yeah, i have a question too. i have a question to you talk about a government, a granting, advertising. how effective is that in your country? because you see, we might have a regression on advertising, but dissembling racial, you'll find that you'll say i don't, this is should not be assessed by people under the age of 18, but you find that in the cell be blended edgy. did i still participating in a gum? how is district in your god was it might be a misty issue that i had to pay. i mean

by that by the by the open it as they open it since i don't believe we are wearing it now one minute i show so i know that the conversation was for flowing to an end . now sentence from use upon geico at i'm yeah. i wanna look at a key in terms of i think. ringback in my getting it should not be me. clearly they do marketing but instead of 2nd eyes i am no sentence for you. genius. a sentence, go ahead. what gum green is a big ac bed. a company called bricks industry and i named above his approach to address the problems that are coming with a governing industry are a nazzo short sentence when you now sent, right. my niece to our, to day you too. yes, enjoy life, have fun. but at the same day,
