Nairobi recently hosted the first-ever world gaming festival in Africa popularly, SiGMA. Kenya has Africa's largest youth gambling population in Sub-Saharan Africa with about 30 licensed sportsbooks, online gambling is conditionally legal. Over the last 10 years, the face of gambling is shifting from casino scenes to online, mainly propelled by sports betting given that Africa is football manic. Some are referring to this as the new scramble for Africa, facilitated by the continent's fast-growing connectivity and e-commerce.
