Sports Betting West Africa+ Summit 2026

Sports Betting West Africa+ Summit 2026 is the key event for West Africa's betting and gaming industry, taking place October 14–16 in Dakar. Organized by Eventus International.

A notable change for 2026: the event is shifting to a biennial format instead of running annually. According to Eventus International founder Yudi Soetjiptadi, the move is meant to create a more focused platform for long-term industry development — meaning each future edition will be larger and more content-rich.

Over more than a decade, the summit has grown from a local industry gathering into a full international platform bringing together:

• Operators
• Regulators
• Solution providers
• Marketers from across the continent and beyond

The 2026 program is a three-day deep dive into betting, casino, and fintech with a specific focus on the West African market.

For affiliates and webmasters running African traffic in the gambling/betting vertical, SBWA+ is one of the few specialized entry points into West Africa specifically: the market here is still developing and less saturated than more established GEOs, and the shift to a biennial cycle means each future edition will carry more weight — worth planning around for anyone targeting this region.
