iGaming Africa Summit 2026: Nairobi, May 4–6

Africa has been building momentum for the better part of a decade. The growth is real, it’s fast, and it’s drawing serious attention from operators who understand what it means to get into a market early. New operators are entering, new markets are opening up, and the conversations happening across the continent right now are the kind that shape the next few years. Nairobi feels like exactly the right place to be part of that.

“I’m really looking forward to this one. Africa is moving fast and there’s so much happening — new operators, new opportunities, markets that are just starting to open up. Whether it’s catching up with people we already know or meeting someone completely new, these are the trips that remind you why this industry is so exciting right now," said Zak, Uplatform Sales Team.

Uplatform sources said that the company has been building for markets like this for a long time. “Localization isn’t a feature we bolt on, it’s central to how our platform is structured. For African operators specifically, that means local language support including Kiswahili, Amharic, and Lingala; 550+ payment methods including local and mobile money options; SMS and Telegram betting for markets where internet access isn’t universal; omni-channel infrastructure for operators bridging retail and online; and African league and championship coverage down to amateur level.”

“If you’re looking for a partner who already understands the complexity of operating in these markets, not one who’s figuring it out alongside you, that’s the conversation we’re here to have.”

“Aleksey and Zak will have time to meet properly, no rushing between sessions, no five-minute hallway conversations. If you’re an existing partner, come say hello. If we haven’t spoken yet, this is a great time to change that. Spots fill up fast. Reach out soon to get something in the calendar. See you in Nairobi.”
