Gambling has had mixed reactions over the years as a positive economic activity and as a negative action that leads to addiction. The purpose of the study is to examine whether the level of income and nature of employment explain the actual instant gratification behavior among bettors in Uganda. This study adopted a cross-sectional quantitative research design. Data was collected from 257 bettors in 26 betting firms, and a census survey was found appropriate to achieve a response rate of 98%. The research findings indicate that low-income earners are more likely to engage in sports betting. Secondly, individuals with jobs where they have too much free time and inadequate supervision are most likely to participate in sports betting. We, therefore, recommend that both private and public organizations should be concerned about the impact of sports betting on their performance and employees. Most entities don’t have gambling policies, and sports betting has a negative impact, for example, in terms of labor productivity and well-being of the employees; hence organizations need to develop clear anti-gambling policies at the workplace. Our study finds that the youth are the most gambling group in the country; specific gambling pieces of training and support services should be developed and organized for the child to increase the awareness of the impact of sports betting on their lives. Finally, there is a need to improve on the saving culture of Ugandans in addition to the revision of the minimum wage level for the workers in the country, and also introducing a weekly payment system would help to manage the betting behavior. In this study, Betting firms from one of the divisions Kampala Central Business District were studied, i.e., Nakawa. Yet, it would be better to cover all the divisions of Kampala; hence future studies should focus on all the divisions and may even study all the betting firms in the entire country. A self-administered questionnaire with close-ended questions was used to collect data from the field. However, this might have limited the amount of information collected from the respondents. Therefore, future studies should employ other methods, such as an interview guide.

多年来，作为积极的经济活动和导致成瘾的消极行为，赌博的反应参差不齐。该研究的目的是检验收入水平和就业性质是否能解释乌干达下注者实际的即时满足行为。本研究采用了横断面定量研究设计。从26家博彩公司的257名博彩者那里收集了数据，普查发现适当的抽样调查可以达到98％的回应率。研究结果表明，低收入者更可能从事体育博彩。其次，工作时间过长且监管不足的个人最有可能参加体育博彩。因此，我们 建议私人和公共组织都应关注体育博彩对其绩效和员工的影响。大多数实体没有赌博政策，体育博彩会产生负面影响，例如，在劳动生产率和员工福祉方面；因此，组织需要在工作场所制定明确的反赌博政策。我们的研究发现，年轻人是该国最赌博的群体；应为儿童开发和组织专门的赌博培训和支持服务，以提高他们对体育博彩对其生活的影响的认识。最后，除了修订该国工人的最低工资水平外，还需要改善乌干达人的储蓄文化，并且引入每周付款系统将有助于管理投注行为。在这项研究中，研究了来自Kampala中央商务区之一部门的博彩公司，即Nakawa。但是，最好涵盖坎帕拉的所有部门。因此，未来的研究应集中于所有部门，甚至可能研究整个国家的所有博彩公司。自我管理的调查表带有封闭性问题，用于从实地收集数据。但是，这可能会限制从受访者那里收集的信息量。因此，未来的研究应采用其他方法，例如面试指南。最好涵盖坎帕拉的所有部门；因此，未来的研究应集中于所有部门，甚至可能研究整个国家的所有博彩公司。自我管理的调查表带有封闭性问题，用于从实地收集数据。但是，这可能会限制从受访者那里收集的信息量。因此，未来的研究应采用其他方法，例如面试指南。最好涵盖坎帕拉的所有部门；因此，未来的研究应集中于所有部门，甚至可能研究整个国家的所有博彩公司。自我管理的调查表带有封闭性问题，用于从实地收集数据。但是，这可能会限制从受访者那里收集的信息量。因此，未来的研究应采用其他方法，例如面试指南。
