Gaming in Africa

South Africa has a large mobile gaming audience and an established PC, console and local game-development scene.

In Kenya, mobile games and football esports share the spotlight with a substantial sports-betting business.

In Ghana, a sportsbook and an esports tournament may both be described as gaming, although only one involves wagers.

A bookmaker authorised in Lagos does not automatically have permission to take bets in Accra - or even Abuja.
