Nigeria.- Nigerian sports betting and lottery operator iLOTBET has been announced as one of the official sponsors of the Africa Gaming Expo 2026, scheduled to run from March 24 to 27 at the Eko Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Organised in partnership with the Lagos State Gaming and Lotteries Authority and the Association of State Gaming Regulators, the event will be held under the theme “Africa’s Gaming Market: Frontier to Prominence”. The programme will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions on regulation and innovation, exhibition stands and networking sessions aimed at turning ideas into practical business connections.
iLOTBET, which operates as Lucky9ja Lotto Limited, joins a growing list of industry stakeholders that have signed on as sponsors for the expo, including SportyBet, 1xBet, Sumsub, Choice Gaming and Premier Lotto (Baba Ijebu). The initiative provides betting operators with a platform to engage prospective partners, regulators and technology providers at a time when the African gaming industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by mobile adoption, improved payment infrastructure and more clearly defined licensing frameworks.
The expo itself is expected to see a significant increase in attendance this year, building on the 2025 edition, which welcomed more than 7,300 visitors. The upcoming event is projected to host around 11,000 to 12,000 delegates, including operators, regulators, investors, fintech providers and technology vendors from Nigeria, other African countries and international markets.
