Digital Loans & Betting

General
1

I noticed Kenyans are using digital loans to finance their gambling. Hebu enda Google Play store and check the top charts for apps.

Even the sketchy mobile lending apps have over 1,000 downloads.

The next most popular apps are betting related. Betting sites are also among the most popular websites in Kenya.

Business Daily just put out an article that explains this all - Kenyans have become prisoners of mobile loan Apps, shows study - Business Daily

The proliferation of digital loan platforms has not improved lives, a new survey shows.

Instead, the survey shows, many Kenyans have become prisoners of these systems, in some instances borrowing to gamble or settle previous debts.
The study says about 6.5 million Kenyans are digital borrowers with 31 per cent taking the cash to try their luck in betting.

Sixteen per cent of Kenyans have never taken loans through mobile phones while 20,000 Kenyans (three per cent) reported borrowing to place bets, says the report.

We are slowing digging ourselves into a big hole.
