AS Monaco is pleased to announce a partnership with Premier Bet, a leading iGaming brand, which becomes the Club’s official betting partner in Africa for two seasons.

Premier Bet has become AS Monaco’s first official regional partner in Africa, enabling the Monegasque club, which also has regional partners in Russia and Asia, to strengthen its international presence. Through this collaboration, Premier Bet, which will benefit from visibility in Africa via the virtual LED technology of the Stade Louis-II during AS Monaco’s Ligue 1 matches Uber Eats, is strengthening its ambition to become the first operator in the iGaming sector in Africa within the next five years.

A common history between AS Monaco and Africa
Today, Premier Bet trades in eighteen markets, has millions of customers across its online platforms and strong plans for extending its presence into other African markets. It’s leading payment technology infrastructure ensures 120+ payment integration points whilst the support of a 2,500+ strong retail footprint and 90,000 kiosks gives it incomparable presence and credibility.

AS Monaco has long been a champion of giving young African footballers the dream of playing in one of Europe’s elite leagues and developing them into future stars of the game. From the early days of giving Ballon d’or winner George Weah his break in Europe to their current star, Krépin Diatta, Monaco, like Premier Bet, are firmly invested in Africa. This partnership will bring the fans closer to AS Monaco with the opportunity to win exciting prizes, access to unique content and money can’t buy experiences and great products and services, only available at Premier Bet.

This new and exciting partnership kicks off with a new multi-media, multi-market advertising campaign throughout the 2021/22 season and beyond in the countries where Premier Bet is operated.

CEO of Premier Bet, Martin Nieri
“AS Monaco are synonymous with innovation and developing footballing talent, particularly in French speaking countries across Africa. Their success on the pitch is matched by their innovation off it, as they set themselves up to become a digital pioneer in the same way we are doing at Premierbet.com. As Premier Bet looks to strengthen its position in key markets such as Senegal and Cameroon, we intend for this unique partnership to help create brand fame and cut-through, as well as providing their millions of African-based fans with new and exciting ways to experience Premier Bet.”

Oleg Petrov, Vice-president and CEO of AS Monaco
“AS Monaco is proud to continue its development on a global scale. This new international partnership shows that the Club is attractive beyond its borders. Collaborating with Premier Bet is proof that we want to reach new territories. Africa is a real footballing land and we look forward to developing the Club’s presence there through this partnership. Premier Bet’s ambition to be a major player in the iGaming is in line with our desire to be at the forefront of the game.”

Broadway Platform, the all-in-one iGaming platform, has partnered with Ghanaian operator Afrinova as it further expands its footprint in the African continent.

The agreement will see Afrinova’s platform powered by Broadway’s full-service AI-powered product suite, including casino, as well as a complete payment, CRM and risk management solution, as the operator looks to grow its presence in its home market of Ghana.

Amusnet Won Online Slot Supplier of the Year and Reinforced its Long-Term Vision at the iGaming Afrika Summit

Published

on

Amusnet arrived at the inaugural iGaming Afrika Summit with a clear position: it was not there to follow Africa’s iGaming growth, but to help shape it. Reinforcing that commitment beyond the exhibition floor, Cameron Green, Country Director South Africa at Amusnet, also joined the conference agenda as a featured speaker, contributing to key discussions around the future development of Africa’s gaming industry.

The company’s strong presence at the event was further recognised with the Online Slot Supplier of the Year award at the iGA Summit Awards, acknowledging Amusnet’s strong performance and growing impact across the African iGaming market.

Beyond the product showcase, Amusnet positioned itself as an active participant in Africa’s regulatory and commercial evolution. Across key markets including South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania, the company worked alongside operators, regulators and industry bodies to support a more structured and sustainable ecosystem.

Green took part in the panel discussion “Developed Markets: Strategies for Growing Africa’s Gaming Industry” alongside Thomas Nsongka, Managing Partner at Lion Bets, David Moshi, Managing Director of Velex Advisory Ltd, and Musa Mngadi, CEO of the African Lotteries & Gaming Association. The session was moderated by Job Weku, Business Development Manager Africa at FAZI Company.

Speaking during the panel, Green highlighted the increasing importance of localisation within African gaming markets.

“In the last 12–18 months, we’ve seen a clear shift from generic global content to locally adapted experiences that actually resonate with African players. It’s no longer enough to just translate a game, you need to localise mechanics, themes, volatility, even how jackpots are presented. The suppliers that understand cultural nuance and player behaviour are the ones driving stronger engagement and better lifetime value,” he said.

Addressing the relationship between operators and suppliers, Green also emphasised the need for stronger strategic alignment across the industry.

“Too many supplier–operator relationships in Africa are still transactional when they should be strategic. The operators winning today are the ones treating suppliers as growth partners, not just content vendors. That means sharing data, aligning on player value, and co-investing in performance. The reality is simple, if both sides aren’t making money sustainably, the partnership will break under pressure,” he noted.

At this year’s showcase, the focus moved beyond volume of content to performance that matters. Amusnet’s portfolio was built to deliver stronger session times, higher engagement, and improved player retention across regulated African markets. Proven titles like Shining Crown and Ca$hybara Ski Edition continued to perform consistently, while newer releases such as Caramelo Sortudo Crash Edition and Crazy Red reflected a sharper alignment with evolving player behaviour.

The Golden Coins Link Jackpot series further reinforced this approach, combining familiar mechanics with scalable jackpot structures that drove repeat play and sustained engagement. But the strategy did not stop online.

In a continent where retail still plays a dominant role, Amusnet’s ability to operate seamlessly across Land-based, Online, and Live casino environments gave operators a tangible edge. From immersive live products like Candy Wheel and Showtime Roulette 500, to Land-based solutions including Type S cabinets and the Amusebox platform, the offering was designed to bridge channels and maximise player value across touchpoints.

This hybrid strength proved particularly relevant in African markets, where infrastructure, regulation, and player habits differ significantly from one jurisdiction to the next.

For operators facing increasing pressure from taxation, compliance and rising acquisition costs, the focus remained straightforward: improving yield per player without increasing risk.

“We see Africa as a long-term build, not a short-term opportunity. Our role is to support regulated growth, build meaningful partnerships, and deliver products that genuinely move the needle for operators in this market,” added Green.

That approach was backed by a commercial model built on alignment. Through data-led optimisation, tailored volatility and rapid localisation, Amusnet worked closely with partners to improve performance at a market level. Co-investment in campaigns and a shared focus on measurable outcomes positioned the company as more than a supplier, but as a contributor to operator growth.

As Africa’s iGaming landscape continued to mature and move towards greater regulation and consolidation, the direction remained clear. Amusnet positioned itself on the right side of that shift: performance-led, locally aligned and built for the long game.
