SBC has named iGaming AFRIKA, the leading B2B and B2C gambling media platform in Africa, as the official event partner for the African Gaming Forum, taking place during the SBC Summit 2026 week in Lisbon.
Held on 30 September at the Myriad Hotel, the invite-only Forum will bring together regulators, operators, investors and industry leaders from across Africa’s gaming ecosystem for a dedicated day of discussion and networking. The event aims to highlight the continent’s key gaming markets and opportunities within one of the industry’s largest global gatherings.
Founded in 2022, iGaming AFRIKA has become one of the most influential media voices covering Africa’s betting, gaming and lottery sectors through news, interviews, podcasts and industry analysis.
As Event Partner, iGaming AFRIKA will support the Forum through its regional expertise and industry network, helping strengthen engagement with stakeholders across the continent. The partnership also reflects SBC’s commitment to giving Africa a stronger presence within the SBC Summit ecosystem.
Discussing the partnership, SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark said: “No two African gaming markets are moving in the same direction, which is why we needed a partner with a deep understanding of the region. iGaming AFRIKA was the natural choice, and their expertise will help ensure the right voices are part of the conversation in Lisbon.”
The Forum agenda will explore developments across major markets including South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Nigeria, covering topics such as regulatory frameworks, market expansion, taxation and the future of iGaming across the continent. Speakers will include leading regulators and executives from organizations such as the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority, Gaming Commission of Ghana, Kingmakers, SunBet and the Gaming Regulatory Authority of Kenya.
Commenting on the partnership, Jeremiah Maangi, Founder and CEO of iGaming AFRIKA, added: “Our mission has always been to give African gaming a platform. Bringing the African Gaming Forum into SBC Summit week gives stakeholders direct access to the industry’s biggest conversations, while showcasing one of gaming’s most exciting growth markets to a global audience.”
The African Gaming Forum takes place during SBC Summit 2026, which will welcome more than 40,000 industry professionals to Lisbon from 29 September to 1 October.
