During FY2023/24, KRA collected Sh24.269 billion in excise duty and withholding tax from 111 on-boarded companies," reads a section of KRA's report titled Revenue Performance FY 2023/24.

Additional reports show that Kenyans bet Sh24,000 per second, amounting to Sh2.1 billion daily.

In 2024 alone, at least Sh766 billion was spent on gambling.
