iGaming AFRIKA Summit Announces Gamble Alert as Strategic Partner to Champion Player Protection
Nairobi, Kenya – January 20, 2026 – The iGaming AFRIKA Summit (iGA Summit) is proud to announce a landmark strategic partnership with Gamble Alert, the leading non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible gambling and providing support for gambling addiction in Africa.
As the African gaming market experiences unprecedented growth, the iGA Summit is committed to ensuring that this expansion is built on a foundation of sustainability and social responsibility. The partnership with Gamble Alert places player protection at the heart of the summit’s agenda for 2026, which is set to take place at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi from 4th to 6th May 2026.
Gamble Alert will play a pivotal role in shaping the summit’s educational content, leading high-level panels on consumer protection, self-exclusion frameworks, and the implementation of robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This collaboration ensures that operators, regulators, and providers attending the summit are equipped with the tools to balance commercial success with ethical practices.
“A thriving industry is a responsible one,” said Jeremiah Maangi, CEO of iGaming AFRIKA. “We are honored to have Gamble Alert as a Strategic Partner. Their expertise is vital in helping our delegates understand that player protection isn’t just a regulatory requirement, it’s a prerequisite for the long-term health of the African gaming ecosystem. By integrating Gamble Alert’s insights, we are fostering an environment where innovation and safety go hand in hand.”
The partnership comes at a critical time as regional regulators, including the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Kenya (GRA), increase their focus on compliance and player welfare. Gamble Alert’s involvement provides a bridge between industry stakeholders and the social advocacy required to maintain public trust.
“At Gamble Alert, player protection sits at the very heart of everything we do,” explained Fisayo Oke, CEO Gamble Alert. “Responsible gaming is about real people, real harms, and the responsibility of an industry to ensure that entertainment does not come at the expense of well-being. This strategic partnership with the iGaming AFRIKA Summit represents a critical step in elevating responsible gaming from the margins to the center of Africa’s gaming conversation. The Summit,” continued Mr. Oke, “provides one of the largest and most influential platforms for the African gaming ecosystem, and we believe it is essential that discussions around growth, innovation, and regulation are matched with an equally strong commitment to player safety and harm prevention. By embedding responsible gaming into such a prominent continental gathering, we are helping to normalize player protection as a shared responsibility and a defining standard for the future of gaming in Africa.”
Delegates at the iGASummit will have the opportunity to engage with Gamble Alert throughout the three-day event, gaining insights into the latest research and best practices in harm prevention.
