- The online betting business in Africa has continued to be on the rise as more people gain access to cell phones and the internet.
- Online gambling made over $500 million in 2018 in Africa.
- The Newgioco Group will now offer its internet betting services to the African people through five new deals made in different areas of the country.
BOCA RATON, Fla. - Africa has embraced online gambling wholeheartedly and the internet gaming company, Newgioco Group, has gone all-in on the African market with their betting products.
The main draw will be a sports betting platform because, based on past revenue dollars from that industry, the people of Africa love sports and wagering on them. Since more of the country has received access to the internet, the online gaming market has soared.
The company is getting in on the ground floor as the online sports betting and gambling scene in Africa is fairly recent and only expected to gain in popularity. With many sports worldwide being suspended due to the Coronavirus, this is the perfect time for a company like Newgioco to enter their business into the mix.
Not only will they begin profiting while the sporting world is on hiatus with their various other gambling options, but they will also be front and center when professional sports return.
This allows them to be open to a huge financial stream in Africa through the use of their gaming products.
"The recent suspension of live sports events around the world has given rise to greater demand for non-sports online entertainment products. As an alternative to live sports, the superior technology of our Virtual Generation virtual sports and games provide a highly entertaining solution for gaming operators, and further reflects the strength of our diversified product portfolio," said Michele Ciavarella, Company Chairman and CEO of Newgioco.
