Top 6 African countries with the largest sports betting population

Published

Top 6 African countries with the largest sports betting population, The industry has grown significantly from offline betting shops to a host of online betting platforms with the increased internet adoption in the continent. According to DataBridge Market Research, mobile devices generated approximately 70% of online betting revenue in 2020, showing the huge effect internet-enabled gadgets have in the betting industry.

Africa’s population of over 1.3 billion makes it an ideal investment destination for betting businesses and according to Statista, the online gambling market in Africa is projected to hit $1.85 billion by the end of 2024, with a projected annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.28% from 2024 to 2028.

South Africa and Nigeria currently hold the largest betting market share in Africa with other countries towing behind. The African betting industry is defined in terms of countries which have the biggest market shares and countries which have the largest number of gamblers.

According to Slotegrator.com, South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya are the three largest gambling markets in Africa. This, however, does not translate to having the largest number of sports gamblers on the continent.

This survey report by Geopoll was conducted in March 2024 among users spread across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda using the GeoPoll mobile app. The table below shows the percentage of respondents who subscribed to betting and the percentage of individuals who said they don’t bet.

RankCountry% YES% NO
1Kenya82.8117.19
2South Africa73.9426.06
3Ghana73.0326.97
4Uganda71.4328.57
5Tanzania71.1328.87
6Nigeria65.3234.68

Kenya led other African countries as it recorded the highest number of respondents who agreed to betting. This was followed by South Africa and Ghana. The survey also shows that the most popular betting sport was football with over 76.53% admitting to tow towards the sport. This was followed by Casino with 9.69% then other sports with 5.14%.

Governments have however raised concerns about the future of the betting industry despite its huge contribution to economies in Africa. The fears about the future of betting in Africa are tied to its influence on its dedicated end-users made up mostly of youths and people with no feasible means of income.

African countries, therefore, have been encouraged to set aside laws to regulate the betting industry which mandates betting sites and shops to obtain licenses before operation. This aims to stop any form of exploitation or illegal operations that may put user’s lives and income at risk.

Web3 ai Takes The Major Spotlight With Its 1747% ROI & 12 AI Tools, Leaving TAO And Ripple In The Dust

Published

on

6b3e03ab e10e 4ccf a494 7e89b1df3495

Could the next big breakout already be in motion, with most traders missing the signs? Bittensor (TAO) has surged past $414, with bold forecasts pointing to a $1,200 target. Meanwhile, Ripple whales have snapped up over 900 million XRP, signaling that major players are quietly positioning themselves. Yet, another project with massive upside is still flying under the radar, Web3 ai. Now priced at just $0.000347 in its presale and set to list at $0.005242, it offers early buyers a built-in 1747% ROI.

And that’s only the beginning. The real excitement kicks in after launch, when all 12 AI-powered tools go live, and supply tightens. Analysts are already predicting a possible price climb to $1–$4. As more traders search for the next top ROI crypto, Web3 ai ($WAI) is gaining momentum. The floor is guaranteed. The upper limit? Still unknown. With the presale window closing fast, FOMO is rising, and Web3 ai could be the surprise rocket of 2025. 

TAO Eyes $1,200 as AI Narrative Builds

TAO’s momentum is strong. The Bittensor (TAO) token is now at $414, rising 14% in a day and nearly 96% this past month. Its market cap has passed $3.6 billion. Traders and analysts both see it as a top AI project.

Projections suggest a price between $1,200 and $1,500 by late 2025. Some even expect it to hit $1,206 within weeks. This rally is powered by the growing need for on-chain AI systems. TAO holds a key spot in this trend. Its low supply and strong use case make it a standout. Traders looking at high-cap AI tokens are watching closely.

Ripple Whales Move 900M XRP as ETF Buzz Grows

Ripple is seeing quiet but massive whale activity. Over the past month, large buyers picked up 900 million XRP. That includes a 300 million XRP move to an unknown wallet and 70 million XRP between two mystery addresses. These aren’t random.

XRP trades around $2.24. But this whale activity hints at something bigger. It could be tied to the long-awaited XRP ETF or Ripple’s global payments growth. When whales load up like this, it usually signals moves ahead. If retail demand kicks in too, XRP could rally hard. For now, watch closely. This play isn’t over yet.

Web3 ai Secures 1747% ROI Ahead of Launch After Raising Over $3 Million

Web3 ai is grabbing attention for one major reason: confirmed gains. At just $0.000347 in Stage 4 and a listing at $0.005242, buyers already lock in 1747% ROI. That’s before any real market action. The presale kicked off at $0.0003 and runs across 50 total stages, with the last priced at $0.003267. Over $3 million has already poured in, showing strong demand early.

But it’s not just about the math. Web3 ai will launch with 12 built-in AI-powered tools. These include trading signals, fraud detection, portfolio tracking, and yield farming support. They’ll be live on day one, no waiting, no delays. These tools run across top chains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, making them highly accessible.

Most of the 6 billion token supply goes to public presale and ecosystem use. That tight supply is drawing whale attention. As utility launches and listings go live, supply could shrink fast, exactly when buyers usually rush in.

Experts say the price could reach $1 to $4 based on demand. With utility, scarcity, and FOMO lining up, Web3 ai is turning heads.

Final Take

TAO is pushing toward $1,200 as AI hype grows. Ripple whales have bought 900 million XRP, hinting at major plans. Both are worth watching. But Web3 ai could be the bigger story. It’s still in early stages, with a $0.000347 entry and a $0.005242 listing locked in. That’s a 1747% ROI just on listing day.

With 12 AI tools ready at launch, $3M already raised, and a tight 6B token supply, this project offers more than it promises. Analysts say the price could climb to $4. Momentum is growing. Whales are circling. And the launch is near. Web3 ai may be the real breakout play of 2025.
