More than 20 betting sites were closed in Kenya but a list of at least 12 sites are still operational in the year 2020.

If the government implements the 20% tax on winnings as interpreted by KRA,the number of players will reduce to as low as 2 million. However, if court interprets that only net winnings are taxed, Sportpesa and several other betting sites will return to the market and that will see a surge in the number of players in Kenya.
