What african betting companies should learn from FA, FAI Decision on sport sponsorship


No one knows the exact day, but I can tell you this for sure:

The African gaming industry is going to get well regulated. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year, but we’re not going to live the rest of our lives in a nearly Free market.

Last week, I got the opportunity to speak at ICE in London which is the biggest gaming conference in the world, In one of the talks, we had a discussion about the FAI and FA's decision to cancel sports betting sponsorship deals with sport betting companies.

And after the event, I started thinking about the effect of this decision and where it could lead to and as African operators what we can possibly learn from this.  

A lot of decisions are being made around the world against the gaming industry, The FA, FAI, the Italian Gaming board suspends all betting advertisement on TV, Print, signage, board, and jerseys. Its a total shut down.

It's now harder for European sport betting companies to operate and advertise than ever.

How did it get here? what did the companies do wrong?

1. There was no proper branding: I think sports betting companies can and should do a better job with ads and information they are putting out, they just don't want to do it because most these companies are consumed with short term economics of profit.

2. Everyone is talking about responsible gambling, but few are actually doing something about it: In the UK it is estimated that there are more than 430,000 people with gambling-related problems. 

I know in Africa, No one is thinking about this, and I understand we don't have that issue right now but we are going to have it if we don't start doing something about our ads, promotions, and actions.

What gaming companies in Africa should start doing:

1. Re-Branding: Betting companies need to start rebranding themselves as an entertainment company and not as a get rich quick scheme. It's a long term game but we need to start now and also betting companies and investors need to also know that like other businesses, it takes time to make a profit and take it easy with the misleading ads.

2. Making responsible gaming become louder: It's not enough to write a single text on the bottom of our website about responsible gambling, we need to educate, do videos, organize seminars etc.

I believe we can avoid the situation betting companies found themselves in Europe right now.

I wish you all the best!

Thank you for your attention.

I live my life based on gratitude

I live my life based on gratitude yes! I see every situation as an opportunity to be grateful. growing up wasn't easy not because we were very poor but because my dad is a disciplinarian that won't want his kids to have everything in abundance which sincerely, i used to hate him for but when i got older i realised that he did it for the best. i have no regrets about those hard days infact im grateful that i had those days because thats is the only reason why today i can survive through every situation. If i wake up in the morning healthy, and I all my family and friends are alive I'm always filled with gratitude. i try to keep it simple, maybe its easy for me based on how i was engineered or brought up! but i really dont want too many things. if I have good food, light in my house, decent clothes and my work..I'm satisfied, I don't want the best car, the best clothes, the best house..im grateful for what i have presently. I'm so grateful for being alive to

How to make withdrawal as an agent on bet9ja

Today i'm going to show you how to withdraw from bet9ja especially as an agent  I realized a lot of agents do have a lot of problem with knowing how much or how  to withdraw to their bank account whenever they have winnings   so today i will be spilling the beans and by the end of this post  you should never and ever call customer care again on how to withdraw or how much to withdraw  ok lets go there... first, go to  shop.mybet9ja.com and log in to your bet9ja agent 'admin account'  before you start the withdrawal process the first thing to do is to know how much you can actually withdraw, most people forget that they need to remove the sales they made from the cash they will be asking for from the company  But how will you really know how much to withdraw ? first  from ''my account'' go to  ''report''  at  bottom left corner  Then from 'report' you click on  ''sportracingdeposit''
