Slotegrator shares insights and tips for African markets

Africa is still booming, and the question of whether markets like South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya are worth investing in is still on plenty of minds. Slotegrator shares its insights and tips for African markets.

Africa is home to several booming betting markets and nearly as many regulatory models. Of course, some countries fully regulate gambling, but some are complete black markets, and others are gray. More than that, some regulate but don’t issue licenses, and some regulate one form of gambling but not another.  

Sorting out which is which is an essential preparatory step for brands looking to break into the region, and Slotegrator’s new article is the perfect jumping-off point. 

Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt are among the countries that forbid gambling completely. However, they have special land-based gambling areas located in hotels, meant to attract foreign tourists.

Other countries are not so strict. South Africa is an example of a jurisdiction where gambling is regulated on a provincial basis. Meanwhile, Nigeria has two different licensors, and Uganda issues licences, but doesn’t really require them.

African gambling regulations are as complicated as they are interesting. However, its population of over 1.3 billion people, rapidly growing mobile internet penetration, and cultural acceptance of — and often even passion for — sports betting make this continent well worth the effort of sorting out which markets have the right regulatory model for your business. 

Slotegrator’s article focuses on seven examples of regulatory and licensing models in Africa: South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Uganda, and Zambia.
