Sports betting in Uganda banned by President Yoweri Museveni who ordered that no new licenses should be issued to sports betting companies nor renewing of permits for the existing ones. According to Minister of State for Finance, Mr David Bahati, the President gave the directive saying that gambling has diverted attention of the youth from hard work. “We have received a directive from President Museveni to stop licensing sports betting, gaming and gambling companies. The President has now directed the board which has been regulating them. From now onwards, no new companies are going to be licensed. Those which are already registered, no renewal of licences when they .expire,” Mr Bahati revealed on Sunday during a church service in Rugarama Hill in western Kabale town. Mr Bahati said church leaders who have been against sports betting can now praise the Lord because their prayers have been answered. However, the Ministry of Finance spokesman, Mr Jim Mugunga, said he was unaware of the president’s directive but added that he does not doubt it.
“I don’t know but since it was said by a minister, quote him. That’s good news,” Mr Mugunga said.

A very good step...ppl dont want to do a legal business and wait patiently for it to grow...they just want to bet and become millionaires overnight...if it doesn't work out then they start thinking of rituals...I pray they criminalize that betting thing in Nigeria too.

In my opinion, this is a very good solution. Usually people bet everything they have and after a loss they just live on the street. I certainly understand that not everyone is so gambling as to lose all their money. Perhaps for some, this is a very good way to make money. But gambling is very bad and if a child from an early age becomes too gambling it will not lead to anything good. Although, in my opinion, you can still bet online because they cannot prohibit the Internet. LI always bet through Free mlb picks, where I also read sports news and compare professional opinion with my own. Because it is much easier to make the right bet by comparing someone else's opinion with yours.
