💨 Abstract

A study by Trade Intelligence reveals that 39% of South African online gamblers are betting more than a year ago, often prioritizing gambling over essentials like groceries. The primary motivation for 65% of respondents is "making more money," rather than entertainment. Experian's data shows some households spend up to 40% of their income on gambling, with lower-income groups spending as much as half of their Sassa grants.
