Nigerian operator unveils fresh suite of games via new integration with leading emerging-markets aggregator

GinjaBet, a rapidly growing Nigerian operator, is now firmly established with an extensive portfolio of casino content delivered through its integration with QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets across Africa.

GinjaBet is a rising-star challenger brand with big plans for the Nigeria market and beyond. As this market coalesces, customers are increasingly demanding experiences that are not only functional but also convenient to use, and personalised to their preferred betting patterns. In this regard, QTech Games and GinjaBet have aligned their complementary skills to deliver a simplified betting experience and optimised user journey across casino, thanks to an adaptable range of content that is both locally authentic and appealing to the next generation of players.

This collaboration will also explore new cross-sell opportunities between sportsbook and casino, with next summer’s football World Cup on the horizon, always a key acquisition and retention driver for global sportsbooks, but above all in Africa where soccer is king.

GinjaBet’s UI has been optimised for mobile-first play, a cornerstone of QTech’s RNG model, which is founded on its fully-owned and customised technical platform, affording operators the fastest integration available, backed by reliable performance and customer support, localised for every region across Africa. By leveraging QTech’s wider global expertise, GinjaBet enjoyed a seamless casino launch, and is now well-positioned to sustain its rapid growth in the near future with a casino product that rides on a scalable and robust framework. This project has also been carefully curated to responsibly track Nigerian player proclivities.

Ekaterina Mayorova, QTech Games’ Head of Region for Africa, said: “We’re thrilled to already be live in Nigeria with GinjaBet, a dynamic brand that is picking up some irresistible momentum in a competitive marketplace. We’re proud to put our shoulder to the wheel of their ambitions, affording GinjaBet the ability to scale their casino content with more localised games and product developments.

“QTech Games has placed a premium on understanding markets at a hyper-local level, alongside bridging that gap between retail and online channels, to open a flexible gateway to success in the Nigerian betting environment. With its mobile-first penetration, comparatively mature smartphone adoption rates and ramping digital economy, Nigeria remains one of Africa’s largest economies, and GinjaBet’s recent growth only underscores the opportunity.

“And we have a suite of other product improvements designed to keep our partners ahead of their rivals in a region where no leadership position can be taken for granted. In addition, our proprietary tech means we’re the only aggregator which is not just showcasing fantastic games but also adding engaging features (such as our AI-driven recommendation engine, QTech Play, alongside other tournament and progressive-jackpot elements) to bolster QTech’s vantage point across the African landscape. We’re constantly adding new content to the platform, prioritising suppliers that deliver unique and localised content, including games which solve familiar local challenges to engagement, such as handset quality limitations, restricted access to fast networks, or high data costs.”

Joe Richa, Ginjabet CEO, added: “GinjaBet is committed to a conscious strategy of harnessing world-class technology and local Nigerian culture. This partnership with QTech is an organic extension of that approach across our stunning new casino suite which showcases globally recognised games, ably supported by specialised content, culturally pertinent promotions, and a tone of voice pitched to connect with younger Nigerian demographics.

“We’re a fast-moving Nigerian brand, focused on delivering specialised, reliable, and entertaining gaming experiences tailored to African markets, driving innovation through responsible gaming and operational efficiency. Our dynamic growth since launch in 2025 has already been hugely encouraging, but QTech’s flexible platform ecosystem has now put us in a position where we can plan for the future with confidence across casino and sportsbook, particularly with the World Cup upcoming fast.”

MERKUR Casino has donated £2000 to Somerset Wildlife Trust, as part of MERKUR’s ongoing community programme.

Somerset Wildlife Trust, formed in 1964 under the different name of The Somerset Trust for Nature Conservation, encourages action for nature through community participation, citizen science activities and spreads its message through the arts, culture and health sectors.

The donation will help support their community engagement programme across Somerset and has established MERKUR Casino as a Gold Corporate Sponsor.

MERKUR will support the Trust’s work in maintaining the connection between nature and local community, as well as aiding in event fundraisers and professional services.

The Trust seeks to engage local people and communities in the expansion and enhancement of wildlife habitats, aiming to bridge the connection between conservation and green/blue spaces (natural environments that include both vegetation and water bodies).

Services provided by the Trust include facilitated nature experiences, training and support for non-nature groups, community land advice and both online and printed resources that are accessible to the public. These resources play a critical role in the restoration and creation of nature spaces, connecting communities and inspiring newcomers to get involved.

Theresa Jones, Fundraising Development Manager at Somerset Wildlife Trust, said: “Our Wilder Communities team has been supporting lots of communities with advice to get started or continue with amazing local projects across the county. Areas and groups supported include the Welly to Wivvy corridor, Drayton Parish Council, Ash & Martock nature group, Taunton Rotary, Enmore School, and Seeds of Hope.

“Members of the engagement team delivered nature and wellbeing activities including nature-based reading (fiction and nonfiction), a seasonal craft activity of painting/mark making with blackberries and creating a nature inclusion poem together to be displayed in the library at Langport over the summer. This resulted in lots of positive interactions with families with many attending as it was a free summer holiday activity. This has helped to continue building our ongoing relationship with the library service in Somerset who are really keen to do more with us.”

Chief operation officer at MERKUR, Mark Schertle, said: “We are pleased to be working with Somerset Wildlife Trust and to support their vision to create and conserve the county’s wildlife and environment. Additionally, their passion to spread the word and encourage others to get involved aligns perfectly with the MERKUR Community programme, so for us to assist them in their mission is fantastic and gives us the opportunity to give back to the communities in which we operate.”
