1-ኣ ጠ (a) “Gursha betting is a way to win money by wagering on certain events”. 2-“This concept is often associated with football and other sports, but it can be applied to various situations.” In Gursha, people come together and pool their resources to place bets. This collective effort helps in spreading the risk and increasing the potential reward. Gursha ስፖርት has been a part of Ethiopian culture for centuries, especially among men who gather at tea houses or taverns to engage in friendly competitions.

According to various studies on the effects of sports betting on social and economic aspects,

• Social:
  • In some cases, Gursha has been linked to organized crime and money laundering.
  • However, its primary function is to bring people together for entertainment and camaraderie.

The history of gambling in Ethiopia dates back centuries, with references found from the medieval Kingdoms of D’mt and Aksum to modern-day wagers on sports outcomes.

Gursha has evolved over time, adapting to changing cultural practices and societal norms. Gambling has been a part of Ethiopian culture for so long that it is difficult to separate its history from the nation’s development as a whole.

Types and variations:

• The most common form is football (soccer), but other sports like basketball, tennis, or even lottery drawings can be found.

• Each Gursha involves an organizer who collects bets in advance of the event.

• Most participants engage with friends, family members, or colleagues.

Legal context: The Ethiopian government has largely left gambling laws unchanged since the introduction of the 1960 Gaming Act.

However, in recent years there have been efforts to address concerns around problem gambling and organized crime ties. A new gaming law passed by Parliament on January 28,2022 is designed to update regulations and improve oversight.
