Traditional casino compliance leans on periodic audits, manual sampling, and external reviews. Reports appear weeks later, issues surface after damage, and remediation drags on. Regtech 2.0 flips the sequence. Blockchain, AI, and streaming data create a pre-audit layer that evaluates behavior continuously. Core question for modern operators: can technology enable self-regulating gambling platforms that earn trust faster than legacy oversight alone? What Is Regtech 2.0? Regtech 2.0 blends real-time data pipelines, machine learning, and immutable records into one compliance fabric. Instead of waiting for quarterly checks, controls verify transactions, payouts, and player-protection events as they occur. The model shifts from…

By Julio Guijarro, Chief Technology Officer, EMEA at Red Hat Sovereignty concerns are the greatest barrier to cloud adoption for large enterprises across EMEA, as cited by 63% of respondents to a Red Hat survey of over 900 IT managers, directors and AI engineers across nine countries. Over two-thirds (68%) of organisations have identified sovereignty as a top IT priority for the next 18 months, with that figure rising to 80% in Germany, where it ranks as the number one strategic focus. The importance of sovereignty stems from a convergence of rising operational issues, such as supply chain instability and…
By Linda Saunders, Country Manager & Senior Director Solution Engineering, Africa, Salesforce Most of us already rely on digital tools in our personal lives that handle routine tasks smoothly. They help us source information, sort out our finances, entertain us, track our fitness, and help us travel. We see what these tools can do in our personal lives, but in the workplace, it still takes too much effort to get simple tasks done. Closing that gap is one of the biggest productivity gains for any organisation. An agent-driven business that pairs people with digital tools to take care of the…
By Larry Cooke, Binance Africa As Binance Blockchain Week, taking place from 3 to 4 December, approaches, it’s clear that blockchain is no longer just a buzzword for cryptocurrency traders. Across South Africa and the wider continent, it is quietly shaping practical, everyday experiences, from payments and property to healthcare and financial inclusion.

This growth is driven largely by real-world applications: remittances, payments, and secure record-keeping. Traditional cross-border transfers remain expensive, with fees averaging 7.9% for…

The thrilling anticipation as the wheel spins, the tension building with every turn, and the celebration when your chosen symbol lands, these moments are etched into the heart of gaming culture.

By Bryan Hamman, NETSCOUT’s regional director for Africa Over the past year and a half, a series of major global IT disruptions – from a routine software update gone wrong, to widespread DNS failures and configuration errors that brought down X, Zoom, Spotify, Canva and ChatGPT, amongst others – has demonstrated a simple truth. No organisation is immune to these challenges, not even the world’s largest technology providers. For African businesses, the impact of such incidents can be even more pronounced. Many organisations across the continent rely heavily on cloud services, operate in hybrid environments, or already contend with unstable electricity supply and bandwidth constraints. When a global outage…

By Veerakumar Natarajan, Country Head, Zoho Kenya Over the past decade, Kenyan businesses have modernised through cloud-based software—from HR systems to CRM platforms to digital payment tools. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) became the default route to digital transformation. The logic was simple: buy a subscription, gain access to features, adopt new workflows, and scale. For a while, this worked. But as Artificial Intelligence takes centre stage, the limits of a feature-first mindset are becoming clear. In Kenya today, AI’s real value will not be found in how many models, prompts, menus or dashboards a vendor can showcase, but in the business outcomes…
