We live in exciting times if you’re a punter living outside the traditional sports betting audiences in Europe and North America. The good news is that this means that there are some top online sportsbooks in Africa fighting to get new customers with great offers and lucrative deals. However, there are dangers to just picking an online bookie and not weighing your options. African betting sites are not very heavily regulated at the moment, for one. Of course, this depends on which country you’re living in. For example, the gambling laws in South Africa are vastly different to, say, Nigeria. By and large, though, most regulations are poorly defined and not enforced very well. Most online bookmakers in Africa can freely operate without local licenses. On one hand, this means that players have access to a huge number of top online sportsbooks. On the other, unsafe sites and shady business practices can pretty much go unpunished.
