SAGSE Talks West Africa

SAGSE Talks Africa brings the gaming community a plethora of engaging content from thought leadership to training, with the industry’s most influential and reputable stakeholders. We will regroup Africa into three main groups: West, East and South Africa.

With SAGSE Talks Africa you will dive into Africa’s most relevant gaming topics, in the most eficient way, whether it is how best to immerse your business in one of the fastest growing gaming locations in the world, or what to expect and how to deal with the advancing regulations happening across the continent.

Africa is unique in that its reliance on mobile is absolute. From the age of 18, a mobile phone is a person’s ID and in some African countries, they will even be able to go to the polls and vote using it! As an industry, this puts us in a brilliant position as it allows for regulatory boards and businesses to create an ecosystem where data is regulated in the safest manner. Not only does this provide an incredible leap for responsible gambling with self-exclusion and other initiatives but also allows for development in terms of KYC and using customer data in the right way.

Africa is well ahead of the curve in terms of mobile and online. Across most of the continent, the adoption of mobile and 4G took place much earlier than in Europe and CIS countries. Africa is an excellent demonstration of how a market can be primed to drive the next step in the future of both a technology and an industry. Until recently mobile was not monetized and despite a significant portion of the population having mobiles the industry took time to catch on, but now mobile-first is the norm, its importance cannot be overstated. So, as opposed to companies focusing on being mobile-first, it’s now a case of mobile-only!”
