The whole truth about how a bookmaker works in Uganda

A bookmaker organizes betting and various types of gambling. The office accepts bets for money and deals with payments in case of winning bets. Business is now so developed that bookmakers have begun to accept bets not only on sports but also on politics, cultural events, television shows, and lotteries. Any large office has in its arsenal numerous analytical departments that deal with the formation of coefficients. Each employee is required to thoroughly understand a particular sport (politics, shows, etc.).

Nowadays, there are both online and offline bookmakers. Even before the Internet era, there were betting points (BPPs). People came to the office, made a bet, and received a particular document (coupon), which they could later use to receive their winnings. With the advent of the Internet, online bookmakers appeared. For example, registering with PariPesa now takes up to 15 minutes.

Advantages and disadvantages of BPP

Pros

Maximum reliability. In BPS, there is practically no chance of running into scammers. A document and a seal confirm any bet. If you need any help with payment, you can go to the prosecutor’s office with this document, but it usually doesn’t come to that.

Cash in your hands right away. If you win, you can receive the entire payment on the spot almost immediately. If the winning amount is too large, only in rare cases does the bookmaker warn about payment the next day.

No registration is required. All that may be required of you is any document certifying your majority. No hassles, as happens online. They came, made a bet, and left.

Cons

A modest selection of bookmakers. It all depends on the city. In some localities, people can find only 1-2 bookmakers. This means you are forced to put up with the odds of these bookmakers, thus limiting your potential maximum income.

Personal visit. No one will place a bet except you. You have to appear at the office in person, which takes time, extra effort, etc. And if you imagine the bitter winter outside, rush hour, and the inability to get to the police station on foot – such a pleasure.

For the same reason, it will be problematic for you to place bets at times inconvenient to everyone. If you want to make money on live betting, and your favorite sports are the NHL and NBA, hanging out at the bookmaker at night is not the most pleasant experience. And not all offices work at night.

“Local contingent” in BPS. Unfortunately, in such offices, you can often find drunk people, low-income people, etc. All those guys who drink their money away often hang out in such offices, giving away their last 50 rubles. This is unpleasant and promises conflict situations, especially if you came for a big win. You may be followed and harassed outside the office. In general, nothing good.

Advantages and disadvantages of online bookmakers

Pros

Complete freedom in choosing a bookmaker. https://paripesa.com/en You can bet not only with our bookmakers but also with foreign ones. This opens up vast opportunities for earning money.

Automation. All operations are completed in a couple of clicks, be it placing a bet, depositing, or withdrawing funds; you don’t need to tell anyone anything and wait for confirmation – it’s very convenient.

Speed of transactions. Online bookmakers are best suited for live betting. While you stand in line at the BPS, tell the operator the match and wait for confirmation. The odds can change a hundred times, and you will miss your opportunity. Here, everything is as fast as possible. You follow the game and immediately place a bet in a matter of seconds.

Anywhere and anytime. This is the most crucial advantage of online bookmakers. You can be anywhere (home, work, or vacation abroad) and place a bet whenever you want. The main thing is to have a good Internet connection. Free time and instant access to bookmakers make it possible to use free sports forecasts from professionals. The fact is that now it is okay to rack your brains over what to bet on. This is what cappers do; you only have to read the forecast and place your bet on time.

Cons

Fraud. Even though bets are now regulated by law, many bookmakers conduct shadow business. Cases of deception are becoming less and less every year, but the likelihood of running into something like this still exists. Be extremely vigilant when choosing a bookmaker; you should not contact those you are hearing about for the first time and about whom you cannot find reliable information on the Internet.

Verification. The verification procedure causes a lot of inconvenience. You need to go to certain places with a document to identify your identity and transfer the information to the bookmaker. Without the verification procedure, you will not be able to make a deposit or withdraw funds.

Withdrawal of funds. Relatively small amounts are withdrawn quickly (usually within a few minutes, maximum within a day). But if the amount is significant, it may take several days.
