Immersive virtual product adds 30,000 extra events to leading African sportsbook

Logifuture, a leading supplier of award-winning iGaming products, has strengthened its partnership with leading African sportsbook Bolabet with the integration of Zoom Soccer.

Zoom Soccer delivers ultra-realistic virtual events for sportsbook users, delivering tens of thousands of events every month for nonstop 24/7 action. With no off-peak moments and a packed schedule that’s always relevant, Zoom ensures continuous engagement. Powered by RNG for steady margins and consistent profits, it creates a fast-paced, immersive betting experience that mirrors the excitement of real football games.

This extended partnership means Bolabet is now able to offer more than 30,000 extra pre-match and in-play betting events each month to its players in Africa.

The move follows the successful addition of Simulate – another of Logifuture’s pioneering virtual products – to the Bolabet platform in August 2024.

Niccolo Cassettari, Group Chief Business Development Officer at Logifuture, said: “We are thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Bolabet through the addition of Zoom Soccer, building on the success we have seen with our Simulate partnership.

“At Logifuture, we remain focused on delivering fast-paced and entertaining sports products, and with the expansion of Zoom Soccer, we are poised to meet that demand.

“As the need for dynamic, quick-turnaround sports content increases, particularly in emerging markets, this integration will further strengthen Bolabet’s virtual sports portfolio and offer players an unparalleled gaming experience.”

Bolabet CEO Justin Palmer said: “Bolabet aims to deliver an engaging and interactive experience for our players and it’s a pleasure to welcome Logifuture’s Zoom Soccer to our product portfolio.

“The addition of Simulate last year has been hugely popular with our players and we are sure Zoom Soccer will further enhance our players’ experience.”

Unlike standalone titles that fade after a few plays, game families create a connected, evolving experience that keeps players engaged. Each family of games is built around a proven theme, familiar mechanics, and progressive features, ensuring players don’t just try a game once – they stay, explore, and return. Black Lagoon Games is launching not just games but entire ecosystems of games, where players seamlessly move between titles within the same game family, discovering new surprises while enjoying a familiar experience.

Black Lagoon Games’ portfolio harnesses the agility of digital play, delivering a dynamic experience that redefines modern gaming. Designed to enhance engagement and nurture loyalty, they evoke the timeless emotional connection of classic slot experiences and the nostalgia of land-based gaming. The content provider’s advanced operator tools further empower partners to create bespoke promotional strategies and heighten player experiences.

The Black Lagoon Games team will be in Cape Town for SiGMA Africa from March 10th to March 12th.

Black Lagoon Games CCO, Jan Ridenfeldt, commented: “For us, SiGMA Africa isn’t just another event, it’s the jewel in the crown of Gaming shows. It’s where Black Lagoon’s vision comes to life. Our mission is to deliver high-quality, truly localised games that appeal to African players and operators. We’re bringing fresh, culturally attuned game families that are authentic, not just reskinned versions of global hits.
