BtoBet has signed a strategic partnership with Soloti Gaming Ltd to power its Nigeria-based flagship brand Frapapa, as the company eyes a multi-jurisdictional presence in Africa.

BtoBet’s Neuron 3 platform will be at the core of the company’s operations on both its digital and extensive retail network.

The partnership will see Frapapa delivering a full portfolio of sportsbook products ranging from local to international sports, including a wide selection of pre-match and in-play offerings, an extensive selection of virtual sports, esports, and jackpots. This will be coupled by a very broad selection of gaming products including online and live casino, and diverse selection of lotteries.

“Frapapa is the result of a lengthy market research aimed at providing our players with a betting experience that is tailored to their requirements. I am confident that BtoBet’s accomplished record, coupled with its flexible and scalable technology, will deliver engaging experiences for our players in both the online and on-property environments. We look forward to introducing a wide range of players to what will characterise the next-level betting experience in Nigeria, as we seek to deliver a UX that is synonymous with more mature markets,” Layi Olayinka, Chief Operating Officer of Frapapa, said.

“We are pleased to work closely with Soloti Gaming Ltd in their quest to become a primary reference for Nigeria’s iGaming industry. The in-depth knowledge that they have accumulated through their market research is indicative of their will to deliver a diversified experience to their players based upon their individual characteristics. I am sure that this will be the start of a successful partnership, and look forward for future collaborations,” Sabrina Soldà, Chief Marketing Officer of BtoBet, said.

SoftSwiss is excited to announce its official expansion into the African continent. As the company continues extending its global presence, this month SoftSwiss received a license for Nigeria. This is another great milestone for SoftSwiss in entering new regulated markets.

Nigeria is the largest country in Africa, with 200 million inhabitants, whilst also being a gambling country with an extremely developed regulation for sports betting and lotteries. Furthermore, it is also one of the most competitive and fast-developing markets in gambling in Africa. The size of the population and exponentially growing internet exposure create the right conditions for online gambling companies to operate in. 

It has to be noted, the African region as a whole is more focused on sports betting rather than online casinos. Now after the official launch of the SoftSwiss Sportsbook, the company is ready to build up its presence in this exciting new region.

Ivan Montik, Founder of SoftSwiss commented on this event: “Entering the Nigerian market marks an exceptional turning point for SoftSwiss, as we’re expanding our global presence to a brand new continent. Nigeria is considered one of the most fast-paced iGaming markets in terms of growth and we cannot wait to begin providing our services there. Nigeria is a great achievement for us and we’re planning on moving even further into other regulated markets” .
