Digitain secures South African National Manufacturer Licence

Digitain has received a National Manufacturer Licence from the gambling regulatory authority in South Africa. For high-risk operators and PSPs, the practical point is simple: the company can now start commercial discussions with prospective partners in a regulated market rather than just talking strategy from the sidelines.

1. According to Digitain, the licence is another step in its expansion across regulated markets and supports its continued growth across Africa. The company says the approval now allows it to begin commercial discussions with prospective partners in South Africa.
2. Arshak Muradyan, group chief compliance officer at Digitain, said the South African licence is part of the company’s “regulatory journey” and reflects a focus on compliance, operational excellence and responsible business practices. He also called South Africa “an important and fast-growing market”.
3. Digitain says the licence strengthens its position as a technology provider for regulated markets. The company points to its sportsbook, Centrivo iGaming platform, and a broader suite of gaming solutions as the products it offers to licensed operators.
4. The company also says it continues to invest in the African market through local partnerships, market expertise and technology development. In practice, that is the bit providers and operators watch: market access tends to follow local licensing, not the other way around.
