The second edition of the South African iGaming Summit proves to be a testament to the triumph of its predecessor by taking place just over 6 months after the initial event, coinciding with The Festival Series in Tallinn. From June 28th to June 30th, São Paulo will serve as the focal point for networking and gatherings of players and operators in the betting industry here in South Africa.
Despite the confirmation being provided shortly after the conclusion of BiS 2021, the date has been recently established. The forthcoming event, set to take place at the Boulevard JK Space, is anticipated to attract an even larger number of attendees and offer an expanded array of opportunities, encompassing affiliates, casinos, sports betting, and even lotteries.
What does the South African iGaming Summit 2022 have in store for us?
It is an undeniable reality that BiS has already established itself in the international scene and has been drawing considerable attention to South Africa. After all, the country has already legalized sports betting and is on its way to doing the same for casinos. Meanwhile, though, online casino operators and online lotteries are already operating unofficially in the country, seizing the opportunity.
The event revolves around fostering networking opportunities, delivering informative talks and showcasing prominent brands. A noteworthy aspect is the inaugural iGaming Awards, a prestigious recognition that will undoubtedly amplify the allure of BiS.
There is still no information available regarding the keynote speakers, though only what is already known about the event, apart from its established reputation from the first edition held in December, is adequate to captivate one's interest.
Sponsorship, exhibitions, and partnerships
In June, the South African iGaming Summit will feature an impressive lineup of sponsors who will not only support the event but also showcase their range of products and services. With over 20 confirmed exhibitors, attendees can expect a vibrant exhibition hall buzzing with networking opportunities throughout the three-day event.

Despite already attracting major market players, the BiS continues to invest in bringing prestige to the event. An exclusive initiative enables sponsoring betting companies of South African football clubs to be showcased for free. To participate, all they need to do is send the corresponding autographed jersey, making this exhibition a noteworthy focal point during the event.
Another impactful action is related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The Russian exhibitors were not barred from attending the event, unlike many other events and brands. Instead, a different approach was taken to make their participation something positive. As a result, all the revenue generated by the participating Russian companies will be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Stay informed
In the following two months, additional details will be disclosed regarding the forthcoming edition of the event, which guarantees to draw even more attention from the global iGaming community towards South Africa. Make sure to stay updated by checking the latest updates on CT10 news!
