How Africans fund betting accounts: mobile money vs cards

Last updated:

This research page examines how bettors fund accounts across our priority African markets and why payment mix differs by country. It is published as a structured study; the dataset and figures are pending a verified source and will be added before the page is promoted. We do not publish unsourced numbers.

What this study measures

  • Share of deposits by method (mobile money, bank transfer/EFT, cards) per country.
  • How local rails (M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Opay, instant EFT) shape behaviour.
  • Withdrawal-method preferences and payout speed.

What we expect to find

Qualitatively, mobile money dominates day-to-day betting deposits in markets like Ghana and Kenya, while Nigeria and South Africa lean more on bank transfer/EFT and cards. The quantified breakdown will follow with a cited methodology.

Source and methodology in progress. This page is currently not indexed pending verified data.
