Sports betting firm SportPesa officially launched its business in the East African country of Tanzania, at a ceremony in the country’s largest city, Dar-es-Salaam.
Tanzania was a rational first choice for SportPesa compared to Uganda which has several online and offline betting sites even operating in villages. With the launch in Tanzania, SportPesa is growing close to its dream of covering Africa and expanding globally as the best sports betting platform. if the government puts the 50% tax into effect, SportPesa might decide to shift its headquarters to Tanzania because of government support.
SportPesa was established in Kenya in 2014 and has offices in Liverpool, Nairobi and now Dar-es-Salaam and though its the biggest and most adored by betting fans in Kenya, it is also facing great competition from over 1o betting sites as well as trying to engage the Kenyan government not to implement the proposed 50% increase in taxes on betting.
