Experts in the gaming industry will gather on the 24th to the 25th of October at Johannesburg, South Africa. The need for an event that attends to the gaming needs of South Africa made it necessary to launch Gaming Africa. The conference will tackle various aspects of the continent’s iGaming market. The first session will be dedicated to introducing the economic environment and infrastructure of the region. Other than this, there will also be sessions that will benefit affiliates, and fiat and Bitcoin casino operators to offer services to the African community. This will be a big opportunity for Bitcoin to showcase its advantages in iGaming.
