EveryMatrix Gains Western Cape License for South African Market Entry

EveryMatrix has received formal approval from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board to supply its turnkey and modular platform technology in South Africa. The manufacturer’s license authorises the provider to deliver solutions across sports betting, online casino, player account management (PAM), payments, and affiliate management to licensed local and international operators.

This approval positions EveryMatrix to capitalise on South Africa's evolving regulated iGaming landscape, where provincial boards oversee licensing, and there is growing demand for compliant online offerings. The license supports upcoming customer launches across the continent, with a robust pipeline indicating imminent go-lives for partnered operators.

• Strategic expansion enabler: The license allows technology integration that simplifies compliance, content aggregation, and operations for operators entering or scaling in South Africa, reducing barriers for new casino brands in a market with significant untapped player potential.
• Market implications: South Africa's provincial framework, led by bodies such as the Western Cape board, fosters controlled growth outside monopolistic structures, benefiting players through safer, regulated environments and operators through efficient tech partnerships.
• Industry impact: Providers like EveryMatrix strengthen their global footprint in emerging markets, supporting responsible market entry while addressing regulatory requirements for player protection and anti-money laundering.

The development underscores the importance of B2B licensing in facilitating operator expansions in Africa. EveryMatrix's platform, known for its modularity, enables the rapid deployment of casino and sportsbook products, which is particularly valuable in jurisdictions building regulatory maturity. Operators can leverage this for faster time-to-market, unified compliance tools, and access to diverse gaming content, all under licensed oversight.

For new casino ventures targeting South Africa, this opens pathways to compliant launches without building proprietary tech from scratch. The approval reflects confidence in EveryMatrix's solutions amid increasing continental focus on regulated iGaming growth.
