BiG Africa Summit 2024

The 10th Annual Betting & iGaming Africa Summit (BiG Africa Summit), occurring from March 25-27, 2024 in Johannesburg, South Africa, will center on the long-awaited remote gambling bill which has failed numerous times in previous years.

Attendees will be included in a detailed discussion focusing on what they can expect from the eventual legalization of remote gaming in South Africa, as well as what future opportunities and potential strategic and operational implications will emerge in this growing market.

With over 30 key speakers attending from both regional and international authorities, operators, investors, and advisers within the gaming ecosystem, the summit is designed for anyone with a vested interest in the African market.

The BiG Africa Summit 2024 event promises attendees engaging discussions, an insightful agenda, and unparalleled networking opportunities.
