If you did a random survey around Kampala asking people why they vote for a given candidate, the answers would likely rotate around desire for better roads, security, equipped hospitals, schools, etc.
This is because the ordinary person invests their entire trust in an elected leader for service provision. Very few people know that it is actually the appointed and hired technocrats that are charged with service delivery.
So, if a given constituency elects a local political council that is at loggerheads with the technical wing, the resultant impotence in service delivery is always guaranteed. The same is the case when a total yes wo/man is elected in to office.
We have experienced it first hand in Kampala, where the political wing has made a career in opposing everything brought about by the technical wing since the inception of Kampala Capital City Authority.
The KCCA Act never helped the situation, having put all administrative and implementation duties in the hands of the executive director and the team, leaving the political wing with roles such as supervision and budget approvals. Therefore, the political team has since thrived on opposing the status quo.
That is why in 2021, Kampala needs a new lord mayor, a person with a different vision and mentality.
That person is Innocent Kawooya.
In Kawooya; a social entrepreneur and financial inclusion expert, Kampala is getting an accomplished achiever. He is not a politician, but understands politics. Even though he is both youth and youthful, he comes with a wealth of experience in administration and development.
Riding on the slogan of Digitizing Kampala, Kawooya carries with him a package of solutions for the downtrodden, the corporates, the middle class as well as the business community.
At only 32 years of age, he has hustled and has achieved. His track record speaks for itself.
Right after finishing his Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE), Kawooya never sat out the long vacation like many do. He instead decided to create his own job that would at the same time change the lives of many young people.
He thus co-founded HIPipo and the organisation has since transformed into one of the world’s top digital and financial inclusion advocates.
To those close to him, right from childhood, Kawooya has always lived with a can-do mindset to the extent that just in primary three, he stood for the head prefect position. This was an early indicator of not only an ambitious person, but a true leader in in the making.
It is no wonder that he went ahead to become head prefect in senior three, paving the way for many years laden with responsibility, especially in the ICT, digital and financial inclusion space.
Now in their 15th year, HiPipo, where he is CEO, have not only run a successful social entertainment platform, but also led the digital revolution of East Africa’s entertainment industry, contributed meaningfully to the growth of online media uptake in Uganda, as well as advocating for a financial technology ecosystem that benefits everyone.
Along the way, Kawooya has directly or indirectly enabled the employment of over 2,000 people in areas such as ICT, commerce, trade and entertainment, the majority of whom are women, not to mention those he has mentored and supported.
More importantly; in Kawooya, Kampala is getting someone with full knowledge of what the “underprivileged” Kampalans go through every day, but also with ability and expertise to fix their predicament.
As seen above, he comes without baggage. He only brings experience and expertise. He is not looking for a job. He is here to transform Kampala. And he knows how to!
He knows that Kampala needs a model of development that serves and is uniform for all. He knows that Kampala collects enough taxes to provide social services in sanitation, transport, health, security, education etc.
He knows that a lord mayor can only succeed if they operate on people-centric lines, other than political party ideologies.
Kawooya knows that Kampala is full of hardworking, innovative, and entrepreneurial citizens. They just need an enabling environment and a leader with a clear vision. And his vision is of inclusive leadership. He knows that the technical team at KCCA has a role and so do the elected leaders. But most importantly, the biggest stakeholder is the Kampala resident, the final consumer of all policies from City Hall.
The time is now to put an end to partisan politics that is holding our lovely city back. And that end is in Kawooya Innocent becoming the Lord Mayor come 2021.
Xoom, PayPal’s money transfer service, announced that the company’s customers in the US, UK, Canada and Europe can now send secure and convenient money transfers directly to mobile wallets in key markets across Africa with a focus on the underbanked segment. This new service expands the company’s offering to send money to mobile wallets in Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe—with plans to include more markets in 2021.
Mobile money services are being deployed rapidly across emerging markets as a key tool to further the goal of financial inclusion. Financial inclusion is instrumental in lifting the undeserved population out of poverty—and for driving economic growth. In 2019, the number of globally registered mobile money accounts surpassed the one billion mark. In Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe, over 60 percent of adults have mobile money accounts. This new service expands Xoom’s offerings in Africa as the current service already enables money transfers for cash pick-up, direct banks deposits and mobile reloads to 41 countries in Africa.
“Sending money to Africa through traditional channels has always been expensive. We wanted to help bring down the cost and speed up the process to boost financial inclusion,” said Julian King, Vice President and General Manager, Xoom. “There is nowhere else in the world that moves more money on mobile phones than Sub-Saharan Africa. While there are only five bank branches per 100,000 people as of 2019, there are 1.04 billion registered mobile money accounts in Sub-Saharan Africa.”
The cost of sending money through traditional channels to Africa is one of the most expensive in the world, with an average cost of 9.3 percent. The cost of sending $200 to the Sub-Saharan African region averaged 9 percent in 2018 and in the southern African subregion, the average cost was 18.7 percent, almost three times higher than the global average according to the World Bank. Xoom is helping to bring down the cost to significantly with average costs of sending money to mobile wallets in select African markets ranging from 2-4 percent of the transaction.
A pioneer in digital remittances, Xoom is a fast and secure way to send money, pay bills and reload phones for loved ones in over 160 countries globally. These remittances serve as a lifeline for many people around the world and are used to pay for things like utility bills, healthcare, education costs and emergencies.
The largely cash-based system of sending money across borders can be full of paperwork, high fees, standing in line and an ever-present uncertainty of when, and if, the money will arrive when it’s needed. By providing fast and secure payment options for customers to seamlessly send money across borders by going online or using a mobile device, PayPal and Xoom are helping to expand and improve the financial health of millions of people worldwide.
To send money abroad with Xoom in a few simple steps, download Xoom’s mobile app on Android and iOS or go to Xoom.com and set up an account easily or log-in with using PayPal credentials.

In an exclusive interview, the winner, who is a farmer said, “This is the first time I am winning. I have come very near to winning this billion by 3 times, losing by 1 or 2 teams. I am happy my long term dream has come true.” On what he is going to use the money for, the winner noted that, “I am first going to relax for some time as I plan for what to do with it.” This win was on ticket number 3033712614769999

Determining The Basics
Before you can get started with choosing the perfect Christmas gift for that special lady, you’ll need to determine a few things. The first consideration is how much you want to spend, and indeed, how much you can afford to spend on a present at this important time of year. Remember that the right gift needn’t cost the Earth – there are plenty of options that are affordable even on a tight budget and that any recipient would love.
Once you’ve decided how much you’re going to spend, the next step is to think carefully about the recipient’s likes and dislikes. The most important thing to bear in mind when choosing any gift isn’t the price but how suitable it is for the person who will be unwrapping it. For example, there’s no point in spending a fortune on a piece of jewelry for somebody who never wears any! Think hard about her preferences and interests – choosing something that centers around those is sure to be a winning formula, regardless of how much you can afford to spend.
Planning Your Shopping
Once you’ve listed some of the things that the lady in your life enjoys and appreciates, you’ll be in a good position to begin shopping. Start doing some research online and in stores to find items that tick both the box for budget and suitability. List the gift ideas that you come up with that are perfect on both fronts. Once you’ve generated a list of a few different items, you’ll be well-placed to make a final decision.
Need Some Gift Ideas?
If that special woman has a specific interest or hobby, finding a gift that relates to it is the perfect choice. But what happens if you’re choosing a gift for someone who doesn’t have any particular passions?
There are a number of brilliant ideas for presents for women that are certain to fit the bill, regardless of her own unique tastes, so here are a few extra suggestions for you to keep in mind when doing your research.
Fragrances – perfumes are always a good choice of gift for a special lady. Try to find out which brand of fragrance she already uses and invest in another bottle, or go to a store and ask for some testers to find a perfume that has a similar fragrance to the one you know she prefers.
Jewelry – while not every woman loves jewelry, most will wear at least certain pieces. Observe the types of jewelry the lady in your life usually wears, whether that be silver, gold, or chunky eclectic pieces. Note, too, whether she wears earrings (and if so, whether they are pierced or clip-ons), bracelets or necklaces so that you can be certain of choosing something she’ll definitely wear.
Accessories – most women will appreciate a gift of beautiful accessories that can complement any outfit or style. Handbags, purses, scarves and gloves are all excellent choices that are sure to delight.
Don’t forget that your primary aim when choosing a Christmas gift for her is to find something that comes from the heart. You don’t need to spend a lot of money – handmade presents are often even more appreciated and treasured than those that have been bought in an expensive store. Homemade cookies or chocolates, a hand-knitted scarf, or a piece of artwork that you’ve made yourself could be the ideal way to make her smile at this time of year.

Smile with Sly, an initiative by Miss Uganda 2011, Mrs. Sylvia Wilson Allibhai, partnered with Talent Africa foundation to deliver Christmas care packages to single mothers that have been gravely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with support from Hilton Hotels, Holic Pads and Great lakes brands on 23rd December in the afternoon.
In a social media post, C.E.O of Smile with Sly, Mrs. Sylvia Namutebi Allibhai wrote, “Statistics show a high increase in families that have been abandoned by the bread winner due to the economic impact of the pandemic. Because a big part of the economy is still under lockdown, most of these women have lost their jobs, can’t find sustainable jobs and daily food yet they have children to take care of.”
Launching the event, Mrs. Sylvia said, “Being a mother myself, I know the difficult challenges that come with raising a child and wanted to give a small donation to keep the children alive and help the single mothers support their families.”
The launch had over 10 single mothers walk away with care packages while observing strict standard operating procedures and words of encouragement from C.E.O of Smile with Sly. Backed by her passion for single mothers and empowering women, she promised to continue to take some load off while the women get back on their feet. “We wanted to bring a smile of a few mother’s faces and let them know that we are in this together”, she said.

Over the years, South Sudan has been a major destination for Uganda’s formal and informal exports.
According to a March 2020 Ministry of Finance Performance of the Economy report, Uganda in February 2020 alone had a USD 54.9 million (about UGX 199.6 billion) Trade surplus with the rest of the East African Community (EAC) with South Sudan being the second biggest contributor to this performance.
“On a country specific level, Uganda traded at surplus with all East African Partner States except for Tanzania. Kenya remained the biggest destination of Uganda’s exports. South Sudan was the second largest destination of Uganda’s exports in February 2020,” the report noted.
It all looked good until the Covid-19 pandemic forced governments to close their borders, put in place stringent movement restrictions and curfews.
Even though formal trade was allowed to continue, these lockdowns massively affected women traders who make up to 70 per cent of informal trade at Elegu-Nimule border.
In this exclusive interview, John Bosco Kalisa, the country representative of TradeMark East Africa in South Sudan decodes the highlights and challenges of the year 2020.
How was the year 2020?
John Bosco Kalisa: I thank you for this initiative, a very noble initiative in the sense that the 2020 year was a challenging year due to the impact of Covid-19. But we are glad that we managed to navigate through these difficult circumstances and through our trade facilitation initiative, we are looking for a solid, positive recovery, having done quite substantive work around the border, supporting the trade facilitation infrastructure, as well as supporting the women who have been heavily affected by Covid-19. So I am happy that we are on the right track despite the challenges we experienced in the 2020.
What were the Trade Facilitation highlights for 2020?
John Bosco Kalisa: There were a number of highlights in 2020. As I stated, this has been an unprecedented time due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but the key highlight from the TradeMark South Sudan program is that we managed to complete and handover the USD 5 million Nimule one stop border post (OSBP) funded by United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office through TradeMark East Africa. It is such a big achievement given that it anchors the trade facilitation initiative as it is able to reduce a number of barriers that were hindering the movement of goods and services along the Nimule border.
The second important achievement has been the support South Sudan program. We continue to support South Sudan to engage in to the East African Community (EAC). Given that now South Sudan is a new member of EAC, there are a lot of trade policy initiatives that are on-going and those trade initiatives are being supported heavily by TradeMark East Africa.
The third important achievement is our support in terms of private sector advocacy, where we have built and strengthened the capacity of the private sector in South Sudan and they are actively engaged in the East African Business Council (EABC). They are working with their counterparts in the region.
Another aspect which is very critical is the standards harmonization. These are sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures, given that South Sudan depends heavily on imported food. So these measures are very critical in terms of health and safety of human beings. This has also been a very critical and important achievement by Trademark in South Sudan.
Another important milestone that we achieved in 2020 is our support to the women traders. You know that Covid-19 has heavily affected the women, especially the informal cross-border women. I would like to thank the board and council of TradeMark EA for the continued support to the South Sudan women to ensure that they are able to recover from the effects of Covid-19 by supporting them in terms of having the necessary tools and equipment that helped them to continue to trade across the board.
You witnessed that there was a launch, which we did with AMREF. AMREF is doing a commendable job in terms of sensitising and raising awareness for women to ensure that they are able to social distance while trading. The women of South Sudan have really applauded this initiative. We are also planning to organize the women to have safe cross border markets at Nimule under the Safe Trade Zones Protocols. It is an on-going initiative and we thank our donors, especially EU-IGAD, which is supporting that initiative.
We also did a lot of work in 2020 with the Shippers’ Council. We supported Shippers, Freighter and Forwarders to understand the protocols related to Covid-19. There has been a lot of on-going sensitization in terms of strengthening the Freighter and Forwarders association.
TradeMark EA launched the Safe Trade Emergency Facility in mid-2020 to mitigate the effects of Covid-19 on Trade. How has this been received in South Sudan?
John Bosco Kalisa: The Safe Trade Emergency Facility (STEF) has been well received in South Sudan. South Sudan was the first country to launch the Safe Trade Zones at Nimule in October 2020 and this initiative will benefit over 2000 women at Nimule alone. The women and the youth have been heavily affected by Covid-19. I am happy that we are doing value addition to ensure that they are able to recover. The government is very happy with what we are doing on matters Trade Facilitation.
While in Nimule and Elegu in December, the women of Elegu said they had received personal protective equipment (PPEs) to combat Covid-19 but the Women in Nimule said they hadn’t received any. When are you distributing in Nimule?
John Bosco Kalisa: We have already received the PPEs. They were delivered to our stores at the border by World Food Program. So we are waiting for the official handover before the end of January after which the frontline staff and traders at Nimule will receive their PPEs.
While at the Nimule-Elegu border, the women complained about being harassed, assaulted and some raped at the border by security officials and other law offenders. As TradeMark EA and your partners, what are you doing to address such issues?
John Bosco Kalisa: You are right. Indeed these are some of the issues we are addressing under our non-tariff barriers (NTB) program. These are some of trade restrictiveness issues we are encountering. You would understand, South Sudan is emerging from the conflict so it requires a number of efforts to sensitize the soldiers and officials that are harassing the traders especially women. The good thing is that we are working on a program with our counterparts in Uganda to ensure that especially the truckers and the women are able to report these cases through a real time sms system. In the past, it has been difficult due to a number of NTBs on the Nimule-Juba road but this program we are undertaking now will ensure that there is a toll-line for reporting these issues. This system is going to be rolled out in 2021.
The women at Nimule and Elegu complained that the borders are closed and for one to cross, you must have a Covid-19 certificate. But the Covid-19 tests cost USD 50 and above. How can they be helped? Can TradeMark EA and Amref come to their rescue?
John Bosco Kalisa: That issue of Covid-19 certificates is not only at Nimule and Elegu. It has been an issue across the East African region. I am happy that our EAC heads of state and ministers of health are working on a solution to have only one test across the region. If you are tested in Uganda, you don’t need to be tested again in South Sudan. That certificate can be valid for up to 14 days. Again, the cost of these tests is very high. Fifty dollars is a lot for informal women. This is like their livelihood. It doesn’t make business sense to pay fifty dollars for a test because you are selling a tomato across the border. Under our safe Trade zones, we are proposing that such traders shouldn’t be tested so long as they are adhering to the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs). They can cross the borders so long as they can observe the Covid-19 guidelines.
After a very hard 2020 characterized by Covid-19, what do you see happening in 2021 and what should be done better?
John Bosco Kalisa: There are a lot of positive expectations and positive strides for 2021. As I mentioned, our safe trade initiative has produced tangible results across the region. You witnessed the PPEs that have been delivered. You witnessed the trade policy program we are doing across the region. We are working on a plan with the EAC Secretariat to have an economic recovery program where we want to strengthen our regional value chain. So I see a lot of positive trends with 2021. As I said, 2020 has been a very challenging and unprecedented year. It has triggered some of those unknowns, for instance, social distancing and lockdowns. These have had a negative impact, especially on the people’s welfare. There is positivism now that the Covid-19 vaccines are being tested and awareness is improving. In December 2020, we introduced the equal masks program in South Sudan. Those are some of the new tools that will enhance the recovery agenda. That is why I am saying there is a lot of positivism for 2021.
Fortebet is always giving back to customers and this was continued as the new year kicked off. The betting company gave a big thank you to it’s customers in Kiryandongo, Bweyale Kigumba, and Karuma
Speaking at the Bweyale prize handovers, John Nanyumba, the company’s Media Manager said that Fortebet is dedicated to it’s customers and will continue giving back.
“There is no doubt that Fortebet is Uganda’s number one betting company. The main reason Fortebet is leading in the betting industry, is you our clients. Certainly without you, Fortebet wouldn’t be this strong. This is the reason we keep coming to give back to you, just like we did a few months ago,” said John Nanyumba, the company’s Media Manager at Bweyale main shortly before giving out gits. Phones, T-shirts, European club jerseys, reflector jackets to bodaboda riders.
Before all this, Fortebet visited and donated sanitizer bottles and face masks worth 10 million to Kiryandongo hospital.
Ugandans are back online after 4 days of no internet in the country. This after the internet was switched off by the Uganda Communications Commission as the country went to Presidential Polls, to avoid misinformation.
Bad Black, a city socialite who spends a lot of time on the internet to connect with her fans revealed that this has been a bad time for her as has been for many other Ugandans.
According to Black, the 4 day blackout reminded her of her prison days. In prison where she was arrested for fraud, the socialite had nothing to connect her to the outside world.
She said: ‘Four days without internet has reminded me of my prison days when I had no radio, no tv, no phone but only prisoners to talk to.’
‘Regardless of all this, we were happy and that is all that matters.’ she added.
Well, Uganda, welcome back. It has been some blackout.
The hottest topics of the month are still the crisis outbreak, which continues to reach new highs by the hour, and how the situation’s aftermath will affect people’s daily lives, businesses, and the global economy.
The gambling industry is no exception. The crisis is having a severe impact on betting and wagering, and the picture is looking particularly grim for some iGaming business sectors. Live sports betting sites will suffer significantly due to its direct dependence on the professional sporting events that are being postponed and canceled.
However, just like in the rest of life, not everything is one-sided – for every loss, there is a gain. Bets must go on, and regardless of the current state of the live sports scene, the demand for gambling as an outlet for entertainment has not changed. And while sports leagues and championships are taking a timeout, the virtual sports betting sector is only getting warmed up.
Live sports betting bites the dust
As the crisis wipes out football and other major anticipated sporting events, a number of large operators are preparing to suffer some massive losses, and have shared their predictions on the scope of the crisis.
Flutter Entertainment, which generated 78% of its revenue from sports betting in 2019, has estimated a reduction of £90-110 million ($110-$135 million) in EBITDA based on the assumption that the current state of affairs will continue through August.
William Hill announced that as 53% of its revenue came from sports betting last year, it was anticipating an EBITDA reduction of £100-110 million ($122-$135 million) for the year.
GVC, which earns about 45% of its revenues from sports betting, has announced an estimated reduction in EBITDA of £130-150 million ($152-$176 million).
However, there is a flip-side to this coin. Some are claiming that the crisis won’t be as deadly for them as it will for the rest of the sector. Gambling affiliate Better Collective has predicted that the company’s revenues won’t be noticeably reduced by the crisis, as while online sports betting revenues will decrease, esports and casino gaming will stay the same.
As you’ll see below, just because betting on live sports events is suffering doesn’t mean the industry has to implode. Punters will seek out online betting opportunities no matter where they are. Some operators and key industry players have already taken note and adapted accordingly.
Virtual Sports as a panacea for the virus
Discussing the crisis, Newgioco CEO Michele Ciavarella has noted a marked increase in mobile betting, pointing towards a result that anyone could have predicted – as land-based gambling opportunities disappear into thin air, bettors will turn to the internet. Ciavarella stated: “We are adjusting operations as though we are in the off-season period by taking this time to foster our other gaming verticals, such as virtual sports, online casino, poker and other products. Despite the land-based shutdown, our clients are still seeking leisure entertainment from home or on mobile, in which we are seeing a measurable increase.”
A statement by Ulrik Bengtsson, CEO of William Hill, supports the same idea as Ciavarella. Addressing how the bookmaker is navigating the crisis, he said “People want to place sports bets and they will continue to do so where possible. In recent days we’ve seen betting on horses, greyhounds, international football and our well-established virtual sports.”
The evolution is a solution
Any ecosystem has its own process of natural selection – the decline of one species gives room for another to thrive, the iGaming sphere is no exception. The void left by live sports betting will now allow virtual sports betting to evolve and flourish.
The growing demand for virtual sports betting will inevitably lead game developers to improve their products. In the interest of customer satisfaction, we will likely witness the evolution of virtual sports – from more realistic graphics and better UX to the implementation of new technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, bringing gameplay to another level. While such technological advances will take time to be implemented, some game developers have been quick to react and have already found a solution to fulfill the immediate need for innovation.
Betradar, a virtual sports and sports betting data feed provider, has found an elegant solution to the problem of lost revenue. The company is going ahead with their virtual Euro 2020 tournament, giving punters a betting option they otherwise wouldn’t have had.
Betradar’s Euro 2020 tournament is a perfect example of the capability that virtuals have to fill the sudden gap in the market. Potentially, any major sporting event that has been canceled could survive in its virtual form instead, giving operators a long list of events they could simulate.
Operators that already feature virtual sports betting products will see increased activity, and the rest will try to offset their losses through transitioning to the virtual segment of the online betting market.
The virtual sports vertical is not only a great way to compensate for the lack of real sports betting options, but also to provide a neat backdoor for cross-selling. Dedicated live-action sports bettors who turn to virtuals could see the value in 24/7 betting opportunities and be more liable to try their hand at slots or roulette.For those who have not yet embraced virtual sports to their casino offering, Slotegrator has a business-vaccine in the form of virtual sports game content from Golden Race and Betradar, as well as software solutions forsports bettingand online casinos.

Online bookmakers apply a variety of marketing tools in order to attract players, among which free bets are turn up as very popular ones.
Bookmakers’ free bets – an opportunity to bet without own expenses. However, the use of free bet can be a lamentable turn for a beginner trying to fulfill the conditions of certain betting company.
Why free bets are so catching
It’s hard to overestimate the real value of free bet for a player. Foremost, it is a chance to make a bet after registration at betting resources without replenishing the deposit, as well as an opportunity to test your skills in evaluating the outcome of sport events without compromising your personal budget. This suggests a perfect alternative to no-deposit bonuses.
There are several types of free bets:
Welcoming free bet for registration at the website;
Free bet for the first deposit replenishment;
Recurrent free bets (monthly, weekly, dedicated to certain events);
Free bet bonus for the first bet via mobile app, etc.
How to use free bet bonus
As a rule, the free bet does not automatically assess. To receive it, you need to contact the administrator through a special form at the bookmaker’s website or by e-mail.
If you want to make a claim for a free bet bonus you must fulfill the conditions of the company: to sign up and provide all the necessary data, to install the application, to replenish the game account with the specified amount, and so on.
Before taking advantage of such an attractive opportunity, you should carefully study the conditions of free bets usage. It is practically impossible to withdraw the deposit bonus immediately, what you need first is to fulfill a number of requirements, and simply put, – to win back the received free bet.
Betting companies suggests turning over the free bet with wager or rollover. More often than not, a player will be required to follow the next rules:
Make a bet with a certain odd, usually high: from x1.5 to x2;
To bet on the certain sport or championship indicated by the bookmaker;
The entry must be of specified amount;
In case of the wager you will have to make a certain number of bets amounted to the sum of the first deposit.
Bookmakers can postulate one of the above conditions or a combination of a few of them. The list does not include a complete list of all possible prescriptions.
How to use free bets
Let’s consider the usage of free bets on a specific example. It clearly demonstrates the pitfalls of free bets.
In order to receive the free bet bonus, the player must make the first replenishment of his gaming account for at least $20. Replenishing the deposit by $20, the gambler gets a free bet of the same amount, with an odd x10. In order to win it back, you have to make 10 bets at $20 with an odd x1.75 on different events.
As a result, the player will have to fork over a lot to fulfill the conditions by the bookmaker. That is why you should carefully observe the requirements for wagering and commensurate your strengths. Usually, the conditions of bookmakers are less rigid allowing you to cope with the task.
Withdrawal of prize
It should also be borne in mind that a sum, that is equal to free bet bonus, will be withdrawn before the winning. For example, according to the bookmaker’s condition, it is necessary to put $10 on a victory of certain team with the odd of x2. As a result, it won and the bet was played: the victory was $10 x 2 = $20. The player will be able to withdraw his honestly earned prize after deduction of free bet amount: 20 – 10 = 10 dollars.
You can withdraw your winnings only after all the conditions have been met. When you try to withdraw money in the process, free bet is canceled and debited from the account.
Why do bookmakers need free bets
Free bets are considered as one of the best and proven ways to attract and retain players in the field of betting. Sometimes, in order to win a welcoming free bet, the player has to bet everyday on the specified amount with a certain odd during the agreed time (from two weeks up to a month).
The bottom line is that the player regularly visits the resource, developing a habit. Even after fulfilling all the conditions of wrecking, he will be visiting the website and making bets, thereby increasing the bookmaker’s income.
Virtual sports betting is one of the fastest-growing betting markets. Today, there are many sports disciplines for punters to choose from. However, betting strategies differ significantly from those used in real sports competitions. Slotegrator has prepared a list of tips on how to be successful at virtual sports betting.
Virtual Sports Betting Strategy
First, it is important to note that in virtual sports, the outcomes of events are determined by the random number generator (RNG). This means that in virtual sports, statistics don’t matter, and neither do athletes’ performances in previous events. This fact makes betting on virtual sports more attractive to those who don’t take it very seriously, and might even bet on a team simply because they find its name appealing. However, punters who like doing research, analyzing their teams and their opponents, studying past events, and predicting outcomes based on logic and information may find virtual sports betting not that exciting. Here are three tips for virtual sports betting.
1. Analyze the odds
Despite the random nature of virtual sports events’ outcomes, there is still a strategy to use while betting. This strategy is to place bets based solely on the odds.
For example, in virtual horse racing, some horses have better chances of winning than others. This is done to make the race more similar to real ones, as different horses have different strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, while betting on virtual sports, it is better to look at the odds and create a strategy based on them. In order to win small but often, it is better to target selections that are shorter-priced, even if longer odds could bring bigger wins. However, punters should remember that no strategy guarantees a win in virtual sports betting.
2. Back several selections
Sometimes, punters choose to back more than one selection in a race. This can be profitable in virtual sports, but only in events with a limited number of participants. For instance, in greyhound racing, there are six participants, while in horse racing, there can be up to fifteen. So, in sports with many participants, punters backing two selections risk losing double if neither of them wins.
3. Bet responsibly
When betting on virtual sports, it is better to wager small amounts, as the outcome is always unpredictable. This will help punters to avoid substantial losses. Also, chasing losses is not a good idea while betting on virtual sports, as they are more similar to games of chance than real sports betting. Therefore, many betting experts suggest taking an approach similar to slot playing and just enjoying the experience.
There is no guaranteed system for betting on virtual sports, so punters should take a relaxed approach and enjoy the gambling experience, rather than relying on big wins.
Virtual sports are popular among punters because of the wide range of advantages they offer. Slotegrator has prepared a list of top 10 virtual sports for betting that attract gamblers.
1. VIRTUAL FOOTBALL
Football is one of the most popular real sports for betting, so it has become the leading one in the virtual sports betting as well. Virtual football is very similar to the real one, however, apart from the fact that the outcome is determined by the random number generator (RNG), the matches are shorter than in reality.
Virtual football has become popular among stakerspunters as it offers a high-quality game and competitive odds. Games provide an opportunity to bet on well-known players and teams but don’t require the prior knowledge of competitions’ statistics and data.
Virtual football still doesn’t offer live betting, however, many industry experts expect this opportunity to appear in the near future. Today, punters still get a wide choice of bets:
match winner;
number of goals;
correct score;
total;
handicap, etc.
2. VIRTUAL TENNIS
Virtual tennis has also become a popular sport discipline as it requires no knowledge of tennis to place bets and recreates the real tournament atmosphere with the help of high-quality graphics and animations.
The main difference between virtual and real-life tennis is that real tennis competitions can last between two and five sets, while virtual tennis tournaments usually offer one game. As for the betting options, punters can place bets on:
match winner;
total points;
correct score.
3. VIRTUAL HORSE RACING
Virtual horse racing is popular among punters due to its similarities with real horse racing. The matches are covered in the same way as the real competitions with the same camera angles and information displayed.
As for the differences, in virtual horse racing, odds are always fixed, and races are never canceled because of the weather problems.
4. VIRTUAL BASKETBALL
Virtual basketball offers a range of matches with prototypes of the real athletes. Punters have a possibility to bet 24/7 and choose among various types of bets:
match winner;
total points;
handicap;
winning margin, and many others.
5. VIRTUAL GREYHOUNDS
Virtual greyhound betting is almost identical to virtual horse racing, and the betting options offer the same excitement as in real-life matches.
Among the advantages of the virtual greyhounds, there are instant results, no required knowledge, and no canceled races.
6. VIRTUAL SPEEDWAY RACING
Among the most popular virtual sports for betting, there is the virtual speedway, a motorcycle racing sport with four or six riders taking part. In most cases, punters can bet on the winner or sometimes make a forecast.
Apart from realistic animations, many virtual sports providers offer a possibility to adjust matches to local time and weather conditions to make the competition more real.
Gambling mini-games have come a long way since Nintendo’s original Super Mario series. They’ve been improving in graphics and inventiveness at the same rate as the games themselves. In this blog post, Slotegrator takes a look at the 6 best video games that feature in-game gambling.
Fallout
What would be left after a nuclear war desolated large swathes of the United States? That’s right: Las Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes players to a retro-futuristic version of Sin City, where some things have might have changed, but the important ones haven’t.
Players can find blackjack, roulette, and slot mini-games. Lucky players can win money, food, drinks, or a VIP stay at the hotel, but winning too much can have them booted from the casino under suspicion of cheating and barred from gambling there again. Outside New Vegas, people in the radiation-saturated Mojave Wasteland play the card game Caravan. The game suits its bombed-out surroundings, with flexible rules, improvised currencies, and decks cobbled together from stray cards.
It’s comforting to think that even after mass devastation, people can still find joy in the little things.
Final Fantasy
In Final Fantasy lore, the card game Triple Triad was invented using Tarot cards by a psychic named Orlan. Players can add cards to their Triple Triad deck by defeating monsters, and play the game when taking a break between quests.
The game is played on a 3×3 grid. Players and the AI take turns laying down cards. When a card is laid down, its value is compared to the card next to it. If the player’s card has a higher value than the AI’s, for example, the card is captured. The player that fills the entire game board with their cards wins.
The Witcher 3
Some people find the slaying of grotesque monsters invigorating. Some find it harrowing. Some, at times, find it a little stressful, or maybe even a little repetitive. In the world of Witcher 3, when the monotony of battling 3-eyed demon deer, giant monstrous centipedes, and other indescribable beasts starts to wear on players’ nerves a little too much, they can take some time out for Gwent.
Gwent is a one-on-one card game where players assume the role of generals, with 22-card decks representing their armies. Players collect cards to build a strong deck and play the game in between monster-slaying excursions. The game starts with a coin toss and each player drawing ten cards at random from their deck. Cards are played one at a time and players rely on their strategy and the strength of their deck to beat their opponent.
For a more traditional gambling experience, players can try the game’s first and second editions, which featured poker.
The Sims 3
The classic simulation of life as we know it finally added a gambling extension in its third edition. It’s a great place for first-time gamblers to get a hang of how to play the odds in a friendly environment before moving on to something a bit more real. The game includes poker, slots, roulette, and blackjack.
Red Dead Redemption
Lauded as a modern gaming masterpiece, Red Dead Redemption offers gamers a world full of possibilities with stunning graphics and engaging gameplay, letting the Old West leap into life on screens across the globe. And the Old West would be far from complete without a poker game.
No-limit Texas Hold ‘em is the name of the game. Thanks to a specially tailored suit item, Marston, the protagonist, often has a card or two that he slipped from the bottom of the deck up his sleeve. In the High Stakes poker game, however, there’s no cheating allowed – once they’ve paid the $250 buy-in, players have to rely on their wits.
Grand Theft Auto Online
Thanks to GTA online’s Diamond Casino and Resort update, players now have the opportunity to take their hard-stolen cash into the casino and gamble to their heart’s content. In addition to gambling, the casino offers some side missions players can complete. The update caused a tremendous fuss when it was released, with the game being banned in more than fifty countries almost immediately.
The reason the game caused such a stir is that players can use real-world currency to purchase in-game tokens to use in the casino. $1 in real currency buys $50,000 in virtual chips. To many governments, this smacked of illegal gambling, and the game was banned – but its proponents argue that it’s no different from the kind of in-game purchases commonly available in online games. Gamers with permissive governments gave the update rave reviews.
For gamers looking for a taste of gambling or gamblers looking for a video game that includes a game of luck or two, any one of the six games above will keep them satisfied.
The African market presents the iGaming business with unique challenges and vast potential. There are some complications related to regulations and technological constraints, but sports betting is a massively popular pastime in many African countries. The African sports betting industry was estimated to be worth roughly $37 billion in 2018.
The three biggest gambling markets in Africa are South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. We’ll look closely at these three markets, as well as Tanzania and Uganda.
South Africa
South Africa is the largest gaming market on the continent. Some estimations put South African GGR at $2.5 billion by 2021.
A report issued by South Africa’s National Gambling Board recorded GGR for 2018 to be $1.9 billion. Betting accounted for 21.3% of gambling revenue in 2018, at $405 million. In recent years, sports betting has seen the highest percentage growth of all forms of gambling.
All forms of gambling are very popular in South Africa, but the development of the industry has been hindered by a disjointed bureaucracy. While most countries have a centralized authority or regulatory body that oversees gaming, each of South Africa’s nine provinces has its own gambling board or commission that rules on the legality of various forms of gambling in that province. Industry insiders hold that the best way forward is communication and education with the various gambling boards.
Throughout the country, online gambling is illegal, except for the online branches of licensed land-based bookmakers. Roughly 50% of South African adults place sports bets on a regular basis. Most South African punters place bets at least once a month. South Africans love betting on football, cricket, rugby, and golf.
Some of the most popular online sportsbooks in South Africa are Betway, Golden Race, Scorebet SA, Sportingbet, Betvictor, World Sports Betting, and Sunbet.
Nigeria
Nigeria is experiencing an explosion in sports betting, largely driven by a widespread passion for football and improvements in technology. According to a 2014 estimate, roughly 30% of Nigeria’s nearly 200 million people place sports bets every day.
Nigerian law prohibits games of chance. Sports betting, however, is viewed as a game of skill, due to the knowledge and experience required to be an effective and successful sports bettor.
Nigeria is the second-biggest gambling market in Africa by revenue. Its GGR was placed at around $40 million in 2014, with PwC estimating a GGR of $58 million for the year 2018. According to the same report, GGR is projected to increase by 16% over the next five years.
Football is incredibly popular in Nigeria, particularly European football leagues like La Liga and the Premier League, and the vast majority of sports betting takes place on football matches. Roughly 60 million Nigerians between the ages of 18 and 40 actively participate in sports betting. Estimations are that Nigerians bet roughly $5.5 million every day, totaling about $2 billion a year. Nigerians also like to bet on basketball, tennis, rugby, and cricket, as well as some more niche activities, like bandy, darts, and floorball.
According to international accounting firm KPMG, Bet9ja has an average monthly turnover of $10 million and NairaBet has a monthly turnover of $3-$5 million. NairaBet alone has an estimated 2 million regular customers. Some other providers are Surebet 247, Merrybet, Betfair, Betway, 888sport, and Golden Race, which is available in 90% of Nigerian betting shops.
A huge part of the sports betting boom is the industry’s online expansion. Nigerians who already love sports betting are drawn in by the convenience offered by online sportsbooks, particularly via mobile.
The online sports betting explosion is in part being fueled by locally developed payment systems. One example is Paystack, a Nigerian fintech start-up. Paystack now processes over $11 million a month and became the most-used fintech system for those betting on NairaBet, Nigeria’s second-biggest online sports betting firm, after being added as a payment method.
Kenya
According to PwC, Kenya had a GGR of around $20 million in 2014, with that number projected to hit almost $29 million by 2019. Predictions estimate that gambling turnover will reach $50 million by 2020.
The most popular sport to bet on in Kenya is football, with top European leagues accounting for a huge portion of Kenyan betting. According to a 2017 Geopoll survey, 79% of young Kenyan gamblers regularly placed bets on football.
One deciding factor in the sports betting boom is mobile and internet penetration. According to industry executives, 7 million Kenyans are registered for gambling services.
The past several years have seen sports betting operators grapple with increasing government intrusion into the industry. The central government has dramatically raised taxes and accused operators of owing back taxes. In July 2019 the government suspended sports betting licenses, but a group of Kenyan legislators has called on the president’s office to restore the licenses.
Tanzania
Much like other African countries, the rapid spread of sports betting in Tanzania has been aided by developments in mobile technology that have allowed punters to place bets with ease.
The boom in sports betting has also been aided by the increase in the number of sports betting shops, which are present throughout the country but ubiquitous in Dar Es Salaam, the capital.
The gaming board of Tanzania projects that government revenues from gambling could hit almost $42 million in 2019, up from last year’s roughly $34 million. Sports betting revenues, which are taxed at a rate of 25%, provided the government with over $5 million in 2016. In the same year, 2016, sports betting revenue overtook casino revenue, generating over $15 million. Gaming and betting brought the government of Tanzania $36 million in 2017/2018.
Some of the most popular online sportsbooks are Sportpesa, Meridianbet, M-bet, Mkeka bet, Princess Bet, Premier Betting, and Throne Bet.
On Aug 2 2019, the Gaming Board of Tanzania issued an announcement that they would temporarily cease issuing licenses for sports betting and gaming machines in order to make an assessment of the market’s ability to handle new operators.
Uganda
Ugandans spend $42 million on gambling annually. Gambling operators pay a tax of 20% on gaming revenue and withhold 15% of players’ winnings.
The most popular form of gambling is sports betting, usually on football. However, basketball, tennis, cricket, volleyball, and rugby are all also popular. Some popular sports betting companies are Elite Bet, Worldstar Betting, Betin, SBA Uganda, ABA Uganda, and Simba bet.
Developments in technology have led to massive growth in the sports betting industry. An increasing number of Ugandans are placing their bets online, as the option to use mobile carriers as payment methods has taken off in popularity.
According to a report from the Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board, the Ugandan government received about $12 million in sports betting revenue in 2017-2018, compared to $3 million in 2013/2014 and $66,000 in 2003/2004. The same report predicted that the government would take in roughly $12 million in tax revenue from gambling in 2019.
While the explosion in revenue was undoubtedly healthy for the federal budget, the Ugandan government has developed mixed feelings about sports betting. In early 2019, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni announced a freeze on new gaming licenses, as well as announcing that operators currently in possession of a license would not have their license renewed. Some reports indicate this is an attempt to nationalize the gambling industry and halt the flow of gambling revenue outside the country.
Conclusion
Following the analysis and estimations above, it is possible to note that African countries are on the forefront of the sports betting boom. Many of them, however, have already managed to significantly increase gambling revenue over the recent years. Young and dynamic African populations demand games that will correspond with their lifestyle, while sports betting, especially on mobile, seems to be the perfect match for African markets.
This betting company is relatively young, but in a short time it managed to gain popularity among clients due to its reliability. Bet365 Uganda has a lot of new features. By the way, this is one of the first bookmakers to offer live bets. Moreover, the office has always stood out for its broad line of sports in which other offices did not meddle. Today the gambling operator works with over 20 million customers worldwide.
Unlike many other bookmakers, Uganda Bet365 offers customers a lot of bonuses. First, there is a welcome bonus on your first deposit up to $30. Secondly, there are proposals for specific sports. So, you can collect an express train for tennis and get an increase in the coefficient up to 50%. The same conditions apply for express for European basketball, as well as for Canadian and American sports.
The prematch line is one of the best in the industry. There is a full set of all kinds of options – totals, handicaps, players, time of events, as well as special offers, including the quality of the team’s play, strong-willed victory, and more. The same picture is observed in live bets. You can bet with a handicap on minor football matches, there are totals, ball possession percentage and much more. The minimum bet is $0.2 and the maximum varies depending on the event. Accordingly, the larger the event, the larger the amount you can bet on. This is done again for safety, since the office is attentive to the problem of fixing matches.
Ababet registration, wagering and freebets
First of all, this bookmaker should be chosen by fans of football betting and wagering during the match. Wide in-play line coupled with a minimalistic interface makes live betting an enjoyable experience. How to register with Ababet:
By going to the registration section (click the blue button on the right), you will be presented with a page for filling in the data;
