As the gaming industry continues its global evolution, Ghana swiftly emerges as a key player in West Africa. With its supportive regulatory environment and increasing investment from local and international operators, Ghana is exploring the latest trends and opportunities in the region. A highlight of the event will be insights from industry leaders, including Francis Ifie, CEO of BetBaba.
We asked Francis for his insights on the current landscape in Africa and what attendees can gain from SBWA+ 2024.
With over 15 years of experience across the Middle East and Africa, Francis Ifie brings valuable insights to SBWA+. His extensive knowledge from consulting in various sectors reinforces his belief in Africa’s promising future in sports betting. As the CEO of BetBaba, Ifie is at the forefront of navigating this dynamic market landscape.
Africa is currently regarded as the ‘new frontier’ in the global sports betting industry. Unlike other continents that have reached maturity in this sector, Africa’s sports betting industry is still evolving, offering untapped opportunities, Francis commented.
At the summit, you will gain an understanding of the risks posed by player fraud, a significant challenge for sports betting companies. You will learn strategies to mitigate these risks and reduce financial losses associated with fraud, Francis claims.
He further added that recent data indicates that fraud in the global iGaming space increased by 64% between 2022 and 2024, with approximately USD 1.2 billion lost to fraudulent activities between 2023 and 2024. The presentation will explore different types of fraud, detection methods, and mitigation strategies to protect your business.
