As a matter of fact, with multiple Kenyans becoming instant millionaires, the betting business has boomed further, under the prospect that anyone, from anywhere, can become a millionaire at any time too!

Besides, failing silently and wasting money on betting is a lot more bearable for Kenyans than getting this publicly under a failed business.

The second factor dives into the current Kenyan society. With unemployment plaguing the growing young population, the young adults turn towards gambling as a means to counter the joblessness issue they’re currently facing. 

And with an increasing number of makeshift casinos and small businesses, gambling is even made more accessible to the public.

The last reason, which also serves as a major catalyst, is the technological boom that’s happening alongside the prevalence of the gambling industry. With wider-access to a quality internet connection, people now have better ways to engage in free bets in Kenya, especially with sports betting.
