The country's youngest population bet once a week, spending about USD 50 per month on football bets.
The survey was conducted by Geopoll and carried out among millennials between the ages of 17 and 35 in six African countries: Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya.
According to the study, Kenya has the world’s highest rate of people who earn less than $2 a day, which represents a concern because most of the millennials are unemployed and have never been lucky enough to win more than $50 on the bets.
Meanwhile, the data also revealed that South Africa has the lowest usage of mobile gadgets for gamblin-surprising, because the country has the highest rate of mobile penetration in the continet. South Africa is also the only surveyed country in which the youths prefer lotteries to football betting.
