Company comment
Sam Hill, Sales Director at Altenar, said the licence represented a significant step in the company’s global growth strategy, describing South Africa as a key target market. He said Altenar’s sportsbook solution covers core sports such as football and racing, with a flexible user interface allowing operators to prioritise local content.
Hill added that the company’s cross-sell capabilities across products would benefit operators in South Africa given the popularity of multiple gambling verticals in the market, and said Altenar was looking forward to further developing its presence in the wider African region.
