Gambling has always been a big thing in Malawi. However, with the advent of online gambling, it’s safe to say that the gambling craze has even intensified. With each passing day, multitudes of people join the online gambling bandwagon to reap the monetary and non-monetary benefits associated with the activity.
Just as many people are joining the gambling bandwagon in Malawi, so too are there gambling operators entering the gambling industry. This of course driven by the aim to quench the seemingly unquenchable thirst Malawians have for gambling services. One such operator that entered the Malawian gambling industry is Worldstar Betting (WSB).

Round Up
To round up, Worldstar Betting really is a top online betting site. The betting site has a strong focus on sports betting services and allows punters to place bets on the most popular sports in Malawi. In as much as there are some casino games that casino players may enjoy, the games are very limited hence there is a need for the casino lobby to be filled with more games.
