NowNow Gaming, a newly founded gaming studio from South Africa and one of the first to emerge from the region in recent years, has entered into a strategic licensing agreement with Hinterzimmer to utilise their advanced RGS (Remote Game Server) platform. This partnership will allow NowNow Gaming to deliver a dynamic mix of localised and internationally positioned content to the rapidly expanding online casino market across Africa.

While the Hinterzimmer RGS enables studios to tap into a globally distributed network, NowNow’s primary focus will be on using this cutting-edge platform to deliver tailored content to operators in South Africa. However, with an eye on broader growth, the content produced will blend local cultural elements with internationally recognised game mechanics, ensuring that the games are not only relevant to the African market but also appealing to players in global markets.

The collaboration marks a pivotal milestone for both companies, as they seek to make a significant impact in a rapidly evolving market.

Robert Lenzhofer, CEO & Co-Founder Hölle Games, said: “Working with NowNow has been an absolutely delight so far. The team have extensive iGaming-experience and deep, local expertise with regards to the South African market which should give this cooperation a very good kick-start in the beginning! Very excited to be helping out NowNow with our range of RGS-services!”

Sandro Borelli, the CEO & Founder of NowNow Gaming said: “I’m incredibly excited about our partnership with Hinterzimmer. Their innovative RGS platform provides us with the tools and flexibility to deliver the engaging, localized content we’ve always envisioned, while also opening doors to global markets. Our first roll-out of games will be within South Africa, which is home for us, and where we believe we can offer significant value to operators. With our strong relationships in the country, we’re optimistic about the opportunity to build a solid presence and grow alongside the market.”

Tom Horn Gaming, a leading iGaming software supplier, has announced its latest partnership with Aardvark Technologies, a gambling and betting software platform provider.

After successfully complying with Brazil’s brand-new regulations, Delasport’s sportsbook is now officially certified for the South African market as well.

South Africa and Africa in general are becoming more and more important points on the global iGaming map, since they have a rising population of more than 1.5 billion people according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Nearly 60% of the population are aged 25 or below. This contributes to the fact Africa is the fastest-growing mobile market with a ‘leapfrogging phenomenon’ – millions of people’s first experience of the internet is via their mobile devices.

‘We are excited to enter such a promising regulated market like South Africa and show what real localization looks like,’ Delasport’s CEO Oren Cohen Shwartz comments. ‘At Delasport, we believe in being both global and local – always thinking about the big picture while not losing sight of the smallest details. For us, entering the South African market doesn’t simply mean translating the interface, but tailoring the experience according to their habits, local providers, regional content, and much more.’
