SOFTSWISS to Present Strategic Advances at Sigma Africa
SOFTSWISS, a leading technology company in the iGaming industry, announces its participation in Sigma Africa 2024 on 11–13 March in Cape Town, South Africa. This move highlights SOFTSWISS’ continuous expansion and targeted focus on the African market, particularly following its acquisition of a majority stake in Turfsport.
As a convergence point for companies involved or interested in the African iGaming market, Sigma Africa 2024 provides an ideal platform for SOFTSWISS to present its comprehensive product ecosystem. With the integration of Turfsport’s solutions, a recognised leader in the local market, SOFTSWISS complemented its strong brand in South Africa and is ready to show new opportunities to stakeholders.
Despite its stringent regulatory framework, the African market holds considerable growth opportunities, underpinned by an extensive user base and rapid technological advancements in mobile connectivity and blockchain technology. Moreover, the rising interest in gambling within the region adds to its appeal to industry players.
SOFTSWISS is well-prepared to navigate this market, as evidenced by its recent acquisition of GLI-19 certification for the Casino Platform and the GLI-33 certification for the Sportsbook. These certifications not only underscore the company’s operational capabilities but also streamline the entry process for operators using the SOFTSWISS Turnkey Solution.
