SOFTSWISS Unveils South African iGaming Market Overview

South Africa’s iGaming market is on a remarkable growth trajectory, set to reach a total revenue of approximately EUR 64.9 million by 2028. SOFTSWISS, a leading iGaming software provider with 15 years of experience, shares the South African market report.

GZIRA, Malta, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In light of the recent acquisition of Turfsport, a leading South African provider of wagering solutions, the SOFTSWISS report offers first–hand practical experience. The piece explores peculiarities distinguishing South Africa, including provincial licensing, sports betting, and gaming preferences.

Provincial Licensing

Online gambling in South Africa is governed by nine provincial regulatory bodies which operate under the National Gambling Board’s framework. Each body is responsible for licensing various gambling activities, including online sports betting, in their provinces.

Christian Neuberger, CEO at Turfsport, adds: “While national legislation continues prohibiting interactive gaming nationwide, several provincial gaming boards have taken the initiative in recent years to expand fixed odds betting options. This development has significantly enhanced the appeal of online betting, resulting in a sharp increase in iGaming revenue and the generation of gaming taxes.”

Sports Betting as a Major Driver with High Interest in Esports & Fantasy Sports

Online sports betting remains a major driver of the South African iGaming market. In 2024, this sector's estimated volume is approximately EUR 24.3 million out of ~EUR 51 million expected for the whole iGaming industry. At the same time, sports betting is experiencing a notable shift in player preferences and market dynamics. For example, the horse racing popularity has decreased slightly, with younger audiences favouring other betting options. However, it remains a valued tradition among older generations and those with discretionary spending power.

Esports betting and fantasy sports are growing segments within the South African market. According to YouGov (2021), 51% of South African survey participants are interested in betting on esports, and 39% express interest in playing fantasy sports for money. In this aspect, South Africa outperforms the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, India, Argentina, Mexico and Denmark.

Gaming Preferences

The recent explosive rise of ‘сrash’ games underscores that the South African audience prefers simplicity and instant gratification. However, traditional casino experiences also remain in demand.

With the increasing mobile internet penetration, more affordable data packages, and widespread smartphone usage, more people in South Africa are turning to mobile gaming. This trend is particularly noteworthy because most of the population may not have regular computer access. Operators should prioritise mobile compatibility and user–friendly interfaces to reach the audience effectively.

Vitali Matsukevich, COO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “With SOFTSWISS’ expertise in iGaming and Turfsport’s local market knowledge, we are set to effectively address the specific needs and opportunities in South Africa. The insights from this report are instrumental in guiding our strategies and ensuring that our solutions are well–aligned with the evolving landscape of South African iGaming.”

Overall, the SOFTSWISS market report offers a comprehensive overview of iGaming in South Africa, from the historical context of industry development to a detailed player profile and local trends.

Hisense تعود إلى قمة Buy Local Summit لعام 2024 التي تنظمها Proudly SA

جوهانسبرغ، جنوب أفريقيا, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — تفخر Hisense، وهي شركة عالمية رائدة في تصنيع الإلكترونيات الاستهلاكية والأجهزة المنزلية، بالإعلان عن مشاركتها في نسخة العام 2024 من قمة Buy Local Summit التي تنظمها Proudly South African. أقيمت الفعالية في مركز ساندتون للمؤتمرات (Sandton Convention Centre)، وجمعت نخبة من قادة القطاع ورجال الأعمال والمستهلكين للاحتفاء بالشركات المحلية ودعمها.

يشكّل التزام Hisense بالتميز التكنولوجي ودعم الشركات المحلية الركيزة الأساس لمشاركتها في هذا الحدث المميز. حيث قامت الشركة بعرض مجموعتها من الثلاجات الذكية وأجهزة التلفزيون من طراز Hero Mini–LED Pro، التي حازت على لقب أفضل علامة تجارية لأجهزة التلفزيون لعام 2024 التي تقدمها Mybroadband واحتلت المرتبة الثانية عالمياً من حيث عدد شحنات أجهزة التلفزيون في تقرير Omdia.

وأكدت Luna Nortje، نائب المدير العام لشركة Hisense South Africa، التزام الشركة بتعزيز النمو الاقتصادي المحلي، وقالت في هذا السياق: “نحرص على تشجيع الشركات ورواد الأعمال المحليين ودعمهم للمشاركة في التصنيع محلياً. ونسعى من خلال تعزيز الابتكار وتشجيع التعاون ضمن مجتمعنا إلى بناء منظومة مستدامة تعود بالفائدة على كلّ من Hisense وشركائها المحليين، فضلاً عن بناء مستقبل أفضل لجنوب أفريقيا، الوظيفة تلو الأخرى.” هذا وقد اضطلعت Hisense، التي تملك بنية تحتية متكاملة من المرافق في جنوب أفريقيا، بما في ذلك المستودعات والمصانع وغيرها، بدور أساسي في خلق أكثر من 5 آلاف فرصة عمل في جنوب أفريقيا بشكل مباشر وغير مباشر. ويشكّل هذا الالتزام بخلق فرص العمل وتعزيز التنمية الاقتصادية الركيزة الأساس في عمليات Hisense.

تؤمن Hisense أن دعم المجتمعات المحلية يتماشى بشكل وثيق مع التزامنا بالتصنيع والتجارة محلياً. لا يقتصر الأمر على إنتاج المنتجات وبيعها فحسب، إنما يتخطى ذلك إلى الارتقاء بالأشخاص والمواقع التي تسهّل عملياتنا وتدعمها. قدمنا أكثر من 100 ألف راند جنوب أفريقي لعدد من الجمعيات الخيرية المختارة المرتبطة بجولة كيب تاون للدراجات Cape Town Cycle Tour، حيث تعهدنا بالتبرع بـ 5 راند عن كل درّاج يعبر خط النهاية. وبعدما تبرعنا بثلاجة ذات بابين إلى مؤسسة Fountain of Hope Foundation، قمنا بأكثر من ذلك، حيث دعونا أطفال المؤسسة إلى القيام بجولة في مصنعنا في أتلانتيس. يتمثّل هدفنا من هذه المبادرة في توسيع آفاق هؤلاء الأطفال وفتح عقولهم على إمكانيات غير متناهية، ما من شأنه أن يدعم بناء مستقبل أكثر إشراقاً لمجتمعاتنا. تشكّل هذه المبادرات مجرد غيض من فيض من جهودنا المستمرة لإحداث تأثير دائم والارتقاء بمجتمعاتنا.

تعدّ قمة Buy Local Summit التي تنظمها Proudly South African منصة زاخرة بالحياة، توفر للشركات فرصة التواصل والتعلم والتعاون من أجل بناء اقتصاد محلي أقوى. وتجسّد مشاركة Hisense في هذا الحدث انعكاساً لتفانيها نحو تشجيع الابتكار وخلق فرص العمل وتعزيز النمو الاقتصادي في جنوب أفريقيا.
