QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for all emerging markets, has won the Leader in Online Casino award for 2025 at the annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, fending off strong competition from other leading lights, such as Pragmatic Play, SA Gaming and DST Gaming.

And this year was no different, celebrating a plethora of pioneers from outstanding operators, through progressive technological innovators and regulatory leaders, and on to distributors with the requisite scope and localised expertise to reliably ensure the provision of the most engaging and varied content for the planet’s second-most populous continent.

QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall digital casino provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa.

“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our offering represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We’ve made our name as the go-to aggregator for emerging markets and we remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond.”
