Sports Betting West Africa+ (SBWA+) is the eleventh edition of West Africa’s leading gaming industry summit, running 14 to 16 October in Dakar, Senegal. This year the event is paired with The Gaming Event Francophone Africa (GEFA), adding a French-speaking focus: most industry iGaming events run in English, and GEFA fills the gap for Francophone Africa. Over a decade, the summit has become a hub for African operators, regulators and suppliers.
