Average amount spent on gambling by Kenyans in 2024

Overall respondents spent Sh1,825 on betting. Urban residents spent an average of Sh2,125 on gambling, significantly higher than rural residents, who spent Sh1,481.

In addition, Males spent more on average (Sh1,876) compared to females (Sh1,623).

These findings, combined with earlier findings showing a high perception of gambling as a potential income source among younger people, suggest that younger, urban, and educated individuals are more likely to invest in gambling, possibly due to optimism or a perceived income opportunity.
