In episode 11 of the iGaming AFRIKA Podcast, Leon Mutua, Key Account Manager at Sofascore, highlights the role of data in shaping localized business approaches, the need for balanced, collaborative regulation, and the impact of emerging technologies like AI, micro-betting, crash games, and crypto in driving innovation and responsible gaming across the continent.

Leon dives deep into the contrasting dynamics of African markets, using Nigeria and South Africa as prime examples of volume-versus-value betting behaviors. He highlights emerging markets like Uganda, Zambia, DRC, and Ghana as fertile ground for operators, thanks to low competition tech-savvy youth, and increasing access to mobile infrastructure.

Leon stressed that regulation should be seen as necessary collaboration between governments and operators. He discusses real-world examples from Rwanda’s sudden tax hike to Ghana’s tax removal policy and explained how balanced, consultative regulation can drive player trust and industry sustainability.

Leon also explored how innovation is shaping the future of iGaming in Africa. From AI-driven personalization to micro-betting and crash games like Aviator, tech is enabling richer, safer, and more tailored player experiences. He champions the rise of mobile money and crypto as essential tools that are expanding access and inclusion across borders, especially in unbanked populations.

Crucially, he advocated for responsible gaming. Drawing inspiration from Kenya’s credit bureau model, Leon envisions a shared player risk profile system that would protect players across platforms, enabling early detection of harmful behaviors while supporting operators and regulators in building a safer ecosystem.

Unlocking Growth and Innovation in African iGaming with Technology Podcast with Leon Mutua

Teslar Software has been a really cool company to watch.  We were first introduced to them way back during one of the first ICBA ThinkTECH's and it's been a joy to see them grow and get to know them.  

Also, I've always believed that the merging of small business and consumer business banking is a path to profitable banking in most communities.  These become sticky customers and brand evangelists.  Joe and the gang at Teslar agree and are talking about some ways that this can happen on their system.
