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.
Top Navigation Bar
A prominent navigation bar located at the top of the page features links to key sports, live betting, promotions, and account management, enabling users to easily transition between different sections.
Promotional Side Panels
The implementation of ‘skyscraper’ side columns on both the left and right of the screen provide spaces which can be filled with promotional material. Highlighting ongoing promotions, bonuses and popular betting markets allows players to quickly identify appealing offers at a glance.
Live Betting Section
A specific space on the screen is provided for live betting, allowing players to react to the ongoing action in the most popular sports. The display of current scores and ever-changing live odds encourages bettors to place bets as the action unfolds.
Colour Coding
Odds are colour-coded to reflect fluctuations (e.g. green for rising odds, red for falling), simplifying the process for users to quickly evaluate potential returns.
Boosted Odds and Special Offers
Dedicated sections can be used to emphasise boosted odds and exclusive betting promotions, attracting users who seek greater value.
