Sports

betting has exploded across sub-Saharan Africa. Uganda, where over 25

we will be creating a panel of these respondents, including five in-person

interviews every two weeks with four phone check-ins conducted on the

intermediate weeks. The project additionally includes a number of built-in

experimental treatments to understand some of the behavioral and financial

mechanisms contributing to sports betting demand.
