a quick fix to their money problems. in nigeria alone, there are over a 100 bidding companies making millions or what so cool is, is just one of many nigerians draining the bank accounts in the hope of one day hitting the jackpot. 24 year olds and that you and get your quote is it is addicted to, but he just can't help himself even though i'm leaving not doing genius to come to school and get you cool. was introduced but team play a friend and they do mind if i school and then i go, i suppose law school who stuff is 500 and better that you just bought it. i mean less than $40.00 a month. as a housekeeper kit, you could spend slavishly on betting each week in just 4 years. he has poured over a $1000.00 into his betting habit. there will wins,

but mostly losses. that'd be guessed. loss is almost one off of to 1000. yeah. these was like, and i, i know get myself that i, you know, get myself dealt with like shots i was getting on like from the way and i what his thoughts getting hold. so i would like was being always and when i went to like my mom was talking to me, i would like, what does that mean to me about? no man timeless. i, brittany says i would like to do it. i like 5 minutes, you know, do my wizard. she doesn't, i why do onto the pricing the one on the license already all set to myself. after leaving the veteran, sho, get you cool. immediately heads home to stop fixing online using his smartphone. critics in that area have complained about the potentially practices of the team companies and the lack of supports for in that junior, it's estimated that over $60000000.00 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 level when they look as always we say they also have others too valuable. chaos taking this information anyway. and every time you run out last is miles about a few times when you, when is just a small portion of that with the rest of the chunk of them. i've lost the legal. so there's a dense electrical, i'd be more worried about detect expecting companies in the do a used to attract customers to save these businesses often employ social media influence as to encourage company they present themselves as betting and sharpen us claiming to have correct the coach to profitable companies and there's a guy called me. busy of it gets quite res, trending and it has an awful lot of enough people. i mean, the guy supposed any 1800 meter, now you have to be, wow. funding. you know,

every time, maybe in a couple of every month you just have to got one on the phone and it goes on with that 165 miles on the cool moment. how are you really one of those? i know the guy moses daniels is 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 think you said the richard, i love you resolve the you you put all you want me then i do. i never moved on. i got your duck on the computers. will you come to your office? a little man, i'm going through what i'm talking about, right. what's the thing is going exponentially re 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. our colleague, edith came, 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 balance of full capital of uganda compiler. now the city is linked to 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 the society. i don't want to begin with my friend chris here because i hear you 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. the 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 colorado 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 monday to me after that and he told me that to we want 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 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. mean that to me, not only 2nd, there is something about to that to kind of it's to even though the visual mind there is just speed that will tell you, i need to get more. okay, so you're calling it a series that tells you i have to do you think that's a different? 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 reported to them. i'm sorry, be they're like, wow, well, you know, it can be, you know, very yourself, one was used to explore andre, it's 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 it back. then you

double. i people that these are that you end up losing him. so what kathleen is describing is very familiar to all 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 note, 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 millennial. 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 don't know just because of what, what does they also pull 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 be better because they're still fearful they might fall into an addiction. patricia, talk to me in that societies because the betting us numerous thing they see does a bad thing. they because it does, it poll bids to be c section 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 don't think they can use our crime and they don't see does the more because eliza society's always african up turns african variance. if i explain 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, 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 by the weight then also i thing to bring up the way that you just have that money instead of trying to what the data might be about deposit, that'd be a 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 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 dope. i mean, you'll find me and if feel good home one, it makes you feel good. and you will be surprised that don't mean that just special nova we on even when you lose it still the same feeling, it changes the corporate 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 to 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 cobra. your mind is 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 honest to meet uh these people know let them look like you. it that we, we have someone who wins over $100000.00 in uganda. that is that on the 800 fold on 800 median, i agree, but this one of how many of course we cannot or be lucky you will,

you will go to school 100 students and one or 2 with a bus. that is the most criminal unit, and i've done that. we cannot all be okay. if we only be reaching the 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 that young people, as you said earlier, not putting money down that because of what you lose, the government should woods. 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. they're both of them cutting 3. you cannot open a bidding compound on an account or not on the right. and without the national id id before the, such as why you pull 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'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 to 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. and then we come back to you as adults, because we're also not it's susceptible to addiction. what are the things that people can look out for? if you feel so compelled you lack control, there is that arch that you feel. then the 2nd step would be, can you control that? it's 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'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 we us 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 that 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 tvs? what about sticking forbidding ways to do your research? ok. okay. uh let me hear from the 2 of you. ok, i know for, for 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 web site and ensuring that took on minimize on the adverse effects pull 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 are dying because of these. so you can still see that he's 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 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 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 which, 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 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. gun dunn's in how gambling has a firm grip on some of them. we talk 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 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 buddy, my food thing. so i'm continuing to lose that. so my hot in the new, when they were not i'm a very bad experience. we rates what's that? i was that they messed up like. i couldn't imagine now i could call them 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 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 has keel capital for betsy. no one 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 your way it's heavy to 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 things like, what would you go too much? does a psychological meet out the way that you could only be? so you look on major. do we do with the say, what would you do? we do the, 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 you have to be in a data type my, which was the money. well, i really appreciate how honest these people from your down to 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 bet and where do i even start? i have no idea. i'm sure there must be some experience that has around because i'm like me. kenyans are parents, the advocates by the expert, or at least according to the survey by the research from beautiful they are the african countries that's been the most 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. a man between the ages of $18.00 to $36.00, whether kind of government is re key and tax money pressing is those usually controversial $1.00 because of the fix 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 for 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 free balance of vision as living for us, the government. we introduced a tax on revenue accrued from back in march to the displeasure of patrons for that i've been many instances of videos, condos, as well in 2021. for example, that was in mid your scandal and gunner one football lesson officials of 2 football clubs we investigated by the police for fixing a 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. only 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. being the superstars, 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 know
