How sports betting tax works in Uganda (URA)
From 1 July 2026 the Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 2026 charges 15% withholding tax on winnings. Winnings mean the payout minus the amount you staked — the original stake is not taxed. Licensed bookmakers withhold this before they pay you (including to mobile money). National lottery payouts are excluded.
Example: stake UGX 10,000 at combined odds 5.00. Gross return is UGX 50,000. Profit is UGX 40,000. Tax is 15% × 40,000 = UGX 6,000. Take-home payout is UGX 44,000.
Frequently asked questions
Is sports betting tax deducted automatically in Uganda? +
Yes. From 1 July 2026, a person who pays betting or gaming winnings must withhold 15% under the Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 2026. Licensed operators (including BetPawa, 1xBet, SportyBet and Gal Sport Betting) typically deduct it before they send money to your wallet. This tool estimates that deduction; the operator’s slip is what you are paid.
Is my original betting stake taxed in Uganda? +
No. The law defines winnings as the payout minus the amount staked. Only that profit is taxed at 15%. If the bet does not make a profit, withholding is UGX 0. National lottery winnings are excluded.
How do multi-bet win boosts work on platforms like BetPawa or SportyBet? +
A win boost adds a percentage of your profit (payout minus stake) when the accumulator qualifies — often based on how many legs you included and a platform cap. This calculator lets you type that percentage (0–500%). Each operator’s qualifying rules differ, so treat the boost as an estimate, not a promise from BetPawa or SportyBet.
