Africa’s gaming industry is enjoying unprecedented growth, with millions of new players, rising investments and expanding digital platforms transforming the continent into one of the world’s fastest-growing betting markets. Yet beneath that remarkable growth lies an equally pressing challenge: how to ensure that responsible gaming and player protection keep pace with the industry’s rapid expansion.
