In August 2022, Christophe Casanova, Hondré Gaming’s COO, and Co-Founder highlighted the vast growth potential of the iGaming industry in French-speaking Africa during an interview with Gamblingnews.com. Like many online gaming professionals, Casanova is confident that the region will experience exponential growth over the coming years. This means the time is ripe to enter and expand the iGaming industry in Francophone Africa. With this in mind, Eventus International, with more than a decade of experience in emerging iGaming markets, is hosting the Gaming Event Francophone Africa 2023 (GEFA 2023) to supply operators, providers, and investors with the insights and networking opportunities needed to succeed in French-speaking Africa.
 
GEFA 2023, taking place at the Casablanca Marriott Hotel in Casablanca, Morocco from 8-9 March, is the ultimate event for industry leaders, sportsbook professionals, and gaming executives to collaborate toward an established, trustworthy gaming industry in Francophone Africa. It is a must-attend event for anyone looking to enter the untapped potential of online gaming in the region.

Several reputable publications on the continent, including  Business Insider Africa, Tech Financials, and the Mail & Guardian have acknowledged the rapid growth of the online gaming market in Africa. Recent articles from these sources suggest that young populations, fast-growing mobile infrastructure, and historical passion for gaming and sports betting across the continent, including in Francophone Africa, have been the main driving forces behind this growth.

With 140 million players living in Africa and exponential growth predicted for the future, there has never been a better time to enter and grow in this market. GEFA 2023 offers valuable insights, strategies, and networking opportunities to attendees looking to access this booming market.
