Soft2Bet takes its first steps into Africa with a multi-year Turnkey deal with media leader Channels TV

Soft2Bet has signed a multi-year turnkey agreement with leading Nigerian media company Channels Media Group to provide its powerful platform solution and Managed Services in the largest regulated market in Africa.
As part of the deal Soft2Bet will power Waddibet, Channels Media Groupâs online sports betting and casino offering, driving value for the group by managing its entire customer acquisition and retention strategy through its market-leading âManaged Servicesâ offering.
The partnership will make full use of Channels local knowledge and Soft2Betâs online sports betting and casino expertise as the broadcaster leverages its reach to deploy Soft2Betâs Motivational Engineering Gamification Application (MEGA), the gamification solution that enables operators to deliver market-leading ROI by providing quality content and driving player engagement in regulated jurisdictions.
Regulatory expansion
Soft2Betâs regulatory footprint grew significantly in 2023 as the group entered major markets like Sweden, Denmark, Romania and Italy and in 2024 this has continued and it is set to forge ahead on this path with worldwide expansion into Africaâs largest economy and most populous country with Channels TV.
As the company executes on its strategic roadmap throughout 2025 it will continue integrating new partners to its B2B platform and adding to its content library to deliver the richest and most complete turnkey solution for its partners.
Martin Collins, Chief Business Development Officer of Soft2Bet, said: âAs a group, Soft2Bet is truly delighted to announce its first African partnership with a high-calibre media partner like Channels TV. Nigeria is the continentâs largest economy and a vibrant market and the combination of Channels TVâs strong brand equity and our highly localised and powerful solutions will deliver strong growth in this major market.â
Tobi Momoh, Group Strategist & Consultant of Channels Media Group, added: âOur joining forces with Soft2Bet will see us blend our local expertise with their cutting-edge online sports betting and casino operations. Weâre also highly excited at the thought of integrating Soft2Betâs MEGA gamification and are confident in our ability to deliver premium content and elevate player engagement across this market. Together, weâre committed to setting new industry standards and establishing a leading iGaming brand that will provide unmatched entertainment to our players.â
