Africa layout - Overview
Sportsbook layouts designed with the African market in mind should emphasise providing a lot of information but in a very simplified way. Many players from a range of African countries like to place accumulator bets, so the betslip positioning is prominent and more emphasised.
Live scoreboards, match countdowns and event calendars perform well as they support a strong interest in traditional sports, most notably football. User-friendly navigation for easy access to the top competitions is often emphasised.
Key features of African layout
In Africa, the Altenar sportsbook has a number of ways in which the layout is designed to align with local preferences, regulations, and the popularity of different sports.
Simple and User-Friendly Layout
Aimed to cater to both new and seasoned bettors alike, the overall layout is sleek and provides players with easy access to all markets and offers flexible options for selecting specific betting lines.
Highlighted Sports
African betting platforms frequently prioritise football, with a focus on both domestic leagues and popular foreign competitions such as the English Premier League and the Champions League, while also showcasing other popular sports such as cricket, rugby and athletics. Each sport usually has a dedicated section for easy navigation.
