Under the agreement, 888Africa has moved from its previous platform supplier onto the core EveryMatrix platform for both sports betting and video gaming.

The operator formerly used the platform of FSB Technology, which was obtained by EveryMatrix in 2024. After a competitive process, 888Africa decided to migrate to the EveryMatrix turnkey platform which migration procedure was complete last week.

FSB had a roster of clients throughout Africa, however EveryMatrix has actually put considerable resources into its operations in the continent - headlined through the consultation of Mark Schmidt to the position of Managing Director for Africa. It is thought that it was 888Africa's pivot to using gambling establishment product that resulted in it selecting EveryMatrix, with its solution pointed out as having 'firepower'.

An EveryMatrix declaration stated: "The migration was provided step-by-step with the Angola rollout including additional market-specifics, including localisation, payments, KYC, CRM enablement, and other local requirements. A few of these products depended upon each other, so doing things in the best order was essential."

888Africa is a popular player throughout numerous established and emerging markets in Africa, including Angola, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia. Led by Christopher Coyne, a previous executive at Paddy Power and Destiny Group, the operator is looking for podium positions throughout African markets and chose to strengthen its tech services to help it accomplish that objective.

Writing on LinkedIn, the operator's Vice President of Product and Operations Steven McIntosh said: "Migrations at this scale are brutal. Especially inside 10 weeks, which is what makes this one feel so special. Millions of data points, complicated combinations, regulatory requirements, and a cross-functional group throughout multiple workstreams, all converging on a single go-live moment.

"In practice that means months of preparation, hundreds of tickets, unlimited dev dependences, a bazillion edge cases, constant positioning, and calls. So many calls. Sleepless nights don't make the action items, but they exist too!"

Markets in southern Africa have actually been popular for numerous operators recently with healthy regulation in location and populations used to banking on sports. While at times the innovation has been lamented as not being great enough, EveryMatrix believes it is modernising the sector in these high development markets.
