888Africa Switches To EveryMatrix Platform In Angola

Under the arrangement, 888Africa has migrated from its previous platform supplier onto the core EveryMatrix platform for both sports wagering and gambling establishment gaming.


The operator formerly used the platform of FSB Technology, which was acquired by EveryMatrix in 2024. After a competitive process, 888Africa decided to migrate to the EveryMatrix turnkey platform and that migration process was total recently.


FSB had a roster of clients across Africa, however EveryMatrix has put significant resources into its operations in the continent - headlined through the visit of Mark Schmidt to the position of Managing Director for Africa. It is thought that it was 888Africa's pivot to using casino product that led to it picking EveryMatrix, with its service cited as having 'firepower'.


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


888Africa is a prominent player across numerous established and emerging markets in Africa, including Angola, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia. Led by Christopher Coyne, a former executive at Paddy Power and Destiny Group, the operator is seeking podium positions throughout African markets and chose to bolster its tech solutions to help it accomplish that objective.


Writing on LinkedIn, the operator's Vice of Product and Operations Steven McIntosh stated: "Migrations at this scale are brutal. Especially inside 10 weeks, which is what makes this one feel so special. Millions of information points, complicated combinations, regulative requirements, and a cross-functional team across several workstreams, all assembling on a single go-live minute.


"In practice that indicates months of preparation, numerous tickets, limitless dev reliances, a bazillion edge cases, constant positioning, and calls. So lots of calls. Sleepless nights do not make the action products, however they exist too!"


Markets in southern Africa have actually been popular for lots of operators recently with healthy policy in place and populations used to wagering on sports. While at times the technology has been regreted as not sufficing, EveryMatrix thinks it is modernising the sector in these high growth markets.
