Tanzanian betting provider will be represented across five East African nations for the next three years
LaLiga Santander – the official Spanish football league – has announced an exciting new partnership with the Tanzanian sports-betting provider, M-Bet. This sponsorship collaboration will see the betting provider represented on a variety of LaLiga branding platforms across the East Africa region, with a total of five nations included in the agreement.
Bringing the best of Spanish Football to East Africa
LaLiga’s fan base on the African continent has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade. As part of the league’s commitment to this fast-developing continent, regional partnerships like the latest agreement with M-Bet are being prioritised to bring the excitement of LaLiga football to local fans.
The agreement with M-Bet will commence at the start of the upcoming 2020/2021 season and will last for an initial period of three years. Some of the highlights of this ground-breaking regional partnership will include Intellectual Property rights, DBR in Africa feed (Digital Board Replacements) featuring M-Bet’s branding materials, ticketing and merchandising rights, and the sharing of digital assets.
Football fans across a broad reach of East Africa will enjoy the latest Spanish football action – brought to them by the Eastern Africa gaming provider. M-Bet’s popularity in the region, as well as its reputation for safe, reliable betting with a focus on professional football, makes it the ideal partner for LaLiga in the region.
The following countries will be included in the licensed package of rights for East Africa:
- Kenya
- Tanzania
- Democratic Republic of Congo
- Uganda
- Zambia
Daniel Fischer, CEO of M-Bet Group, said: “Through this collaboration we aim to inspire passionate and hard-working African talents who aspire to play in one of the preeminent leagues of the world – LaLiga. This agreement will greatly enhance our ability to develop local talent, bringing players and fans alike closer to legends and ambassadors from Africa who have played in LaLiga.”
With one of the world’s most popular football leagues partnering with a betting platform that has become a household name in East Africa, fans in the region can look forward to years of on-field action with a recognisable local sponsor. The partnership between LaLiga and M-Bet will help cement the existing ties between Spanish football and a region that is home to countless fans and several notable players.
Marcos Pelegrin, LaLiga Southern Africa’s Managing Director, said: “This new initiative marks the beginning of a great partnership between LaLiga and a recognised innovator in the East African sports-betting industry. We look forward to working with M-Bet in the coming years”.

Betcamp Announces Siasia, Mighty George as Ambassadors
Nigeria’s latest sports betting brand, Betcamp, has officially unveiled Nigerian football legend, Samson Siasia, and renowned broadcaster, Guinness World Record holder and media personality, Mighty George, as brand ambassadors.
The unveiling ceremony was held at the company’s Abuja headquarters and marks another major milestone for the fast-rising sports betting platform, which officially went live on May 25, 2026.
The appointments reflect Betcamp’s commitment to partnering with personalities who embody excellence, credibility, resilience and innovation, while strengthening its connection with sports fans and entertainment audiences across Nigeria.
Samson Siasia remains one of the most accomplished figures in Nigerian football history. As a player, he was part of Nigeria’s historic 1994 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad and represented the country at its first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance in the US.
He later distinguished himself as a coach, leading Nigeria’s Flying Eagles to the FIFA U-20 World Cup Final in 2005, winning Olympic Silver in Beijing 2008 and Olympic Bronze in Rio 2016.
Mighty George is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated broadcast personalities. A multiple award-winning journalist and presenter, he is the current Guinness World Record holder for the Longest Talk Show and the penultimate recipient of the Nigerian Presenter of the Year Award. Through his work in broadcasting, live events and sports media, he has built a reputation as one of the country’s most engaging and influential media figures.
As part of the partnership, Mighty George will serve as the official host of “Inside The Camp,” a new podcast powered by Betcamp. The platform will feature engaging conversations with sports icons, entertainers, business leaders and influential personalities, offering audiences unique insights into their lives, careers and experiences.
Speaking after the unveiling, Siasia expressed his excitement at joining the Betcamp family.
“I am excited about this journey and look forward to the growth and success of the brand. I have had the opportunity to closely observe the vision and commitment of the people behind Betcamp, and I can confidently say this is a brand built on integrity, professionalism and innovation. I am proud to be associated with a platform that is committed to serving sports fans and punters across Nigeria.”
Mighty George also expressed delight at the endorsement and the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the brand.
“I am truly excited to be joining Betcamp at such an important stage of its journey. From my interactions with the team, it is clear that this is a brand driven by innovation, integrity and a genuine passion for sports. I am honoured by the confidence reposed in me and look forward to helping build meaningful connections with sports fans across Nigeria while creating engaging and impactful conversations through Inside The Camp.”
Speaking on behalf of the company, Betcamp Lead Strategist, Mr. Ifiok Albert, described the appointments as a significant step in the company’s growth strategy.
“We are delighted to welcome Samson Siasia and Mighty George to the Betcamp family as Brand Ambassadors. Both individuals represent values that align perfectly with our brand — resilience, excellence, discipline, commitment, professionalism and consistency. Their achievements in their respective fields have earned them credibility and respect, making them ideal partners as we continue to build a trusted and innovative sports betting platform.”
He added that the company remains committed to delivering premium sports betting experiences powered by innovation, transparency and customer satisfaction.
Since officially going live on May 25, 2026, Betcamp has continued to establish its presence within Nigeria’s sports ecosystem through a series of fan engagement initiatives and strategic activations. The brand recently hosted a successful football viewing experience in Abuja on May 30 and is set to continue its nationwide engagement drive with activations across key cities.
As part of its expansion plans, Betcamp will also host a major launch event at its Uyo office this month, bringing together sports enthusiasts, stakeholders, partners and members of the public for a celebration of sports, entertainment and innovation.
With the unveiling of Samson Siasia and Mighty George as Brand Ambassadors, alongside the launch of Inside The Camp, Betcamp is positioning itself as more than a sports betting platform. The company aims to become a leading sports and entertainment brand dedicated to engaging fans, celebrating excellence and creating memorable experiences for Nigerians.

QTech adds Split The Pot games to boost Africa and LatAm offering
QTech has signed a content deal with Swedish supplier Split The Pot to add new games to its aggregation platform for African and Latin American markets. The agreement was announced on 10 June 2026.
Under the deal, QTech will roll out Split The Pot’s mobile-optimised “light games”, including Comet Crash Deluxe, Wheel of Fortune and the Zama Big 5 series. The supplier says its titles are designed to support a range of volatility profiles and include “the ability to cashout at every level”.
The companies positioned the partnership around performance in emerging markets where players can face device and connectivity constraints, including lower-spec handsets, limited network access and higher data costs.
Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “Split The Pot offers a welcome breath of fresh air in the sector, especially with their creative cashout functionality working seamlessly even in territories where network connectivity remains a challenge. The games are therefore very well suited for the African markets, in particular, which aligns with our increased focus on the region. Locally adapted content is regularly requested from our clients in Africa, hence we are excited to release Split The Pot’s games to our partners there.”
Christian Rajter, CEO of Split The Pot, added: “We’re thrilled to join forces with QTech. This partnership means even more players in our core markets, like Africa and Latin America, will have access to our engaging games. We’ve designed them to work seamlessly, even on less powerful devices and with limited internet, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience.”
