Jakub Kolomičenko, Senior Compliance Officer at Kaizen Gaming initiated thought-provoking discussions with an excellent presentation that offered attendees an in-depth comparison between the African and European gaming markets. His presentation was followed by a vital panel discussion for delegates looking to enter the market to start their own betting company.

More nations, particularly in the East, need to adopt this trend.”, explained Jeremiah Maangi, Managing Director at Bizin Africa.
