Changing Regulations in South Africa

Regulation for online gaming in South Africa is a pressing topic. According to Mail & Guardian, full regulation is on the horizon, which means some operational changes may be in order around licensing, marketing, and Financial Intelligence Centre Act requirements. The BiG Africa Summit 2023 will provide attendees with essential information about these changes from the mouth of regulators and legal experts.

Harnessing the Potential of iGaming in Africa to Attract Foreign Investment

Over the past decade, foreign investment has been steadily pouring into the African market. Investors have been encouraged by 1) the growing pool of online players in Africa and 2) the supportive regulatory approach of African governments. The developments position Africa as a growing, yet sustainable, iGaming market. At the BiG Africa Summit 2023, attendees will access strategies for attracting international investors to African platforms, as well as the investors themselves at various networking events.

The Rise of Female Leaders in iGaming

Women make up around 40% of the iGaming workforce in Africa, but the percentage of women in managerial roles remains low. Studies have shown that having more women in management leads to an enhanced company culture with improved collaboration, better decision-making, and an overall increase in business performance. Lois Bright, Global Managing Director of Initiate International and a passionate supporter of women in iGaming will address the barriers women professionals face in the African iGaming industry to initiate a more inclusive industry for all.
