One of the few multi-country African sports brands — Ghana roots, a provincial-licence South African bookmaker, and a Nigerian product that has to live under state licences like everyone else.
Betway Africa (Super Group / SGHC) has sold into the continent since the mid-2000s. The house list we use names Ghana, South Africa, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Botswana. That is not “available everywhere.” Kenya is not on that house list, and a Betway domain from Europe is not your local book. In Ghana the Gaming Commission lists Betway for sports betting in 2026. In South Africa the brand is a provincial-licence bookmaker on the NGB verified-operators table — Raging River Trading (Pty) Ltd t/a Betway (Western Cape 10181496-012) and Betway/Jackpot City under Mpumalanga 9-2-1-09658 — not an offshore skin. In Nigeria, Digi Bay Limited / Betway has appeared on the Lagos register — which is a Lagos fact, not a 36-state fact. Tanzania’s GBT lists Media Bay Limited / Betway; Malawi’s MAGLA lists Golden Bay Limited t/a Betway; Mozambique’s IGJ lists JSE – Jogos Sociais E Entretenimento, SA / Betway.
Where we pin it
