Sports and betting

Football is the main sports code of the country: the clubs of Lubumbashi and Kinshasa (for example, TP Mazembe, AS Vita Club) set the pace, the Leopards national team forms the agenda for the fans.

Basketball is the second most popular thanks to the vibrant diaspora players and the heritage of local schools; boxing and athletics complement the panorama.

The betting market historically relies on land points for betting networks and lotteries, and in cities it is growing rapidly online: light mobile sites/USSD, live lines and micro bets on football and basketball.

For replenishment and payments, mobile wallets (M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Orange Money) and cash at the cash desks are actively used.

The trend is the transition to "mobile-first," more local actions around the matches of the national team and African tournaments, as well as the strengthening of responsible play practices: deposit limits, self-exclusion and age control 18 +.
