The commission highlighted areas including deposits and withdrawals, Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance, fraud prevention, wallet integrations and cross-border transactions as technologies shaping the future of gaming across Africa.
The commission said: “As Africa’s gaming industry becomes more digital, the companies powering trusted financial transactions will become some of the most important players in the ecosystem.”
