In recent years, Africa has gradually turned into one of the most attractive regions for the future of iGaming. Many African countries are enjoying steady economic growth.

While the pandemic caused the first GDP contraction in the region in a quarter-century, local economies are quickly bouncing back and expected to record a 3.4 per cent growth in 2021.

The main factor contributing to the region’s attractiveness for iGaming operators is the accelerating rate of mobile internet penetration, which is finally making African countries viable for investments in the sector.
