Kiron Interactive has launched its Kiron.Lite Virtual League with MojaBet brands across the Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Zambia and Nigeria. The rollout also includes Ghana via Keedbet and Benin via LNB Pari.
Kiron said Kiron.Lite is built for mobile-first and low-bandwidth environments, aiming to maintain performance across varying network conditions. The company positioned the deployment as a response to operator demand for content that can reach more players without impacting gameplay.
Steven Spartinos, Co-CEO of Kiron Interactive, said: “The expansion of Kiron.Lite with MojaBet is an important step in making virtual sports content more accessible across diverse African markets. In many regions, players are engaging primarily through mobile devices and often within bandwidth constrained environments. Kiron.Lite was developed specifically to address those realities, delivering a high quality virtual sports experience with significantly reduced data requirements. This launch reflects our continued focus on creating products that are commercially effective for operators while remaining accessible and relevant to local player behaviours.”
Aris Filippopoulos for MojaBet added: “Kiron.Lite Virtual League aligns strongly with the needs of our player base across multiple African markets.
