Sports Betting has Grown into Kenya and East Africa a lot since 2010. Does anyone know if VAT is imposed, or not? How about any other taxes on the proceeds from such a business?

What are your general thoughts on this type of business?

I have seen that and with one website you can access the whole country as a market..!! definitely considering to pursue when finances are in order..!! Need to understand the financial and legal stories though..!!

I hear sportpesa can make 2m on a good day. But I hear the physical betting shops in town are not doing so well, so betting website is the key.

However there's a few catches:

1. the biggest international websites eg Google, Facebook, don't allow ukora like gambling to be advertised, so you have to do ads mostly on traditional media, which is damn expensive

2. government license is needed to operate, so get ready to bribe your way through the door with cash and shares in the business

3. the reality of gambling is that you'll make most of your money from 'good clients,' aka poor men willing to throw away their life savings on gambling addiction while their families break under the stress. So you must have a hardened, blackened heart to do this business
