Episode 5: Assessing the African gaming opportunity
| By Robin Harrison
Right to the Source is back and, as promised, Robin Harrison of iGB and Ed Birkin of H2 Gambling Capital are discussing the African gambling market.
They talk through the continent’s biggest markets and the growth prospects for gambling in South Africa, the rising popularity of virtual sports in Nigeria and why gambling tax in Kenya limits the market.
Ultimately it’s a look at what holds the African gaming market back. Many in the industry see it as a sleeping giant, but the prevalence of withholding taxes in particular is limiting growth.
