Importance of Gaming Associations in Africa's Growth

The African gaming industry has experienced significant growth, but it still lags behind leading markets. To address common challenges such as licensing, taxation, and regulatory changes, industry operators are encouraged to join associations.

SLEC Africa hosted a webinar titled ‘The Collective Voice: Value of Representation in Africa’s Gaming Industry,’ featuring industry representatives from Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya. Gift Tuadibofa, Executive Secretary of the Association of Nigeria Bookmakers, stated that joining an association is a crucial business decision in a highly regulated industry.

She highlighted that associations offer collective representation, allowing businesses to engage with regulatory bodies more effectively. Additionally, Tuadibofa pointed out that associations provide access to vital information, training, and capacity building, which are essential for navigating a changing business environment.

The discussion underscored the need for collective engagement to tackle industry-wide issues.
