Senegal.- Moustapha Camara, chairman of the Board of Directors of Senegal’s National Lottery (LONASE) and deputy chairman of the African Lotteries & Gaming Association (ALGA), represented Senegal’s lottery sector at the International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) Autumn Conference in Paris.
The IMGL conference took place at the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel from September 23 to 25. Camara was among the speakers at the “Francophone Focus: Regulatory Evolution Across French-Speaking Jurisdictions” session, which focused on regulation in France, Canada and parts of Africa.
ALGA said Camara brought experience from Senegal’s national lottery and the wider Francophone African gaming sector to the discussion. “For ALGA, the presence of African regulatory and industry leadership within global forums such as IMGL remains essential,” the association said.
The discussion covered regulatory challenges and differences between French-speaking markets. Camara was joined by Antony Gevisser, Super Group’s director of Legal & Regulatory Affairs International and Africa, and Veronique Dos Reis, legal advisor at Easygo. The session was moderated by Diane Mullenex of Pinsent Masons and Kevin Mullally, chief executive officer of the International Association of Gaming Regulators, according to information published by IMGL.
ALGA said African markets should play an active role in international gaming discussions as their regulatory frameworks continue to develop. “Africa must not only participate in international conversations but actively contribute its experiences, perspectives and regulatory knowledge to shaping the future of the global gaming and lotteries landscape,” said the association.
In September, Camara called for greater government engagement with Africa’s gaming and lotteries sector during the ALGA CEOs Forum 2026 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Camara said balanced regulatory and fiscal environments were needed to protect players and support investment, innovation and economic participation.
