Voices from the Top

The summit will dig into the 2026 Revenue Reset—basically, are our current taxes keeping up with the digital gaming surge? There’s talk about fighting back against high taxes and the shadow market by going after illegal operators. People want to move away from turnover taxes toward taxes that actually build value, foster sustainability, and boost investor confidence. Yudi Soetjiptadi, Eventus International’s Founder and CEO, says it straight: “African governments see gaming as a major revenue stream now. This summit is where we hash out bold ideas for tax systems that keep things competitive and future-proof.

Tech is front and center. AI, data, and digital tools are shaping how companies and regulators track compliance in real time. Leaders will talk about AfCFTA and how unified tax policies could unlock cross-border growth. They’re also looking at crypto, digital payments, and how to balance collecting revenue with keeping players safe. The bigger picture? Connecting gaming taxes to jobs, tourism, and community growth. The goal is clear: fair and competitive tax rules that work for all of Africa.

Meanwhile, Emolemo Peter Kesitilwe, who leads the African iGaming Alliance and partners on this event, jumps in: “Markets are evolving quickly. We need to focus on safe gaming, protect players, and work together across borders. By sharing strategies, we can build open, well-regulated spaces that grow revenue for everyone.” And Moruntshi Kemorwale, Acting CEO of the Botswana Gambling Authority, is just as excited: “Botswana is the perfect spot for these conversations. It’s about more than taxes—gaming brings in tourism, jobs, and investment. It helps put Botswana on the map as a forward-thinking hub.” Thus, the Pan-African Gaming Taxation & Revenue Summit 2026 shouldn’t be missed!
