Africa has emerged as a hotbed for innovation in the iGaming industry. From revolutionary mobile payment solutions to cutting-edge iGaming platforms, African countries have been at the forefront of developing world-class iGaming products and technologies. These innovations have not only transformed the gaming experience for players in Africa but have also attracted global attention and investment from international players.
Innovative Solutions Driving Africa's iGaming Growth
Betfred, Sunbet, and Supabets are South African operators revolutionising the iGaming space, offering world-class experiences to players across Africa, with plans to expand into key African markets. Supporting these platforms are companies like Derivco, a South African iGaming supplier that has become a world leader in iGaming software development. Covering payments is M-Pesa, the groundbreaking money transfer app that has transformed the African payments market, making it easier for millions of people to transfer, store, and retrieve mobile money. These pioneering technologies and services are a testament to the ingenuity and forward-thinking approach of the African iGaming landscape.
The Great African Expansion
Sun International recently invested $3.2 million in SunBet Africa Holdings, acquiring a 70% stake in the company. This move is a testament to the tremendous growth and innovation taking place in the industry. SunBet Africa holds online sports betting and casino licenses in Ghana, Zambia, and Kenya, and the company plans to expand its reach by launching in key African markets in early 2023.
