We sat down with the Chairperson of SBEA+ 2023 ahead of the event where he shared his insights on the market and expressed his excitement for the upcoming summit:
Why do you think SBEA+ 2023 is important?
The sports betting industry is evolving very quickly in Africa with quick adoption by large populations of mobile technology, cheaper phones, easier payments, cheaper internet and more interactions/information through social media. It is important for industry stakeholders to meet often and discuss emerging issues and best practices so as to maximise the positive impact of the industry on the continent.
What do you look forward to at this event?
I am looking to meet industry players and take learnings to improve my services as a sports betting professional. I am also looking forward to engaging with other participants and hopefully make new friends and colleagues!
