We saw a strong African iGaming market, but the technology companies serving it were based far away.
Before SBT Capital, our CEO and CTO had each worked as business development managers for international iGaming providers. They got to know the industry from the provider side. They saw the opportunity in Nigeria and across Africa, and also saw what was missing: no Nigerian-owned platform company was building around the region’s day-to-day realities.
They understood that local knowledge mattered. Payments, retail distribution, operator relationships and the way customers engage with sports all shape what a platform needs to do. The idea was to bring together experienced people and build a product for the market they knew firsthand.
In 2021, we focused on the build. A year later, YangaBet became our first deal. StarBet and Truewave followed, and by the last quarter of 2022 we had integrated more than 60 games. Since then, we have connected major payment fintechs, expanded into Ghana and Kenya, and continued bringing more African operators onto the platform.
What we do today
We bring sportsbook technology, games, payment connections and white-label agent tools together for operators serving African markets.
