Dominant figures in the internet gaming sector are convening in Cape Town this week for the fourth yearly BiG Africa Conference. The conference will tackle crucial subjects like regulatory adherence, ethical conduct, and the positive outlook of the South African market. Competitive gaming will be a significant point of discussion at the conference as its prevalence surges worldwide, drawing in substantial financiers, corporations, marketers, and game developers. Global analysts foresee a prosperous future for esports within the realm of sports wagering, with the worldwide esports betting market projected to hit an astounding $23 billion by 2020.
South Africa is swiftly aligning with this global pattern, and providers will have the chance to delve deeper into it at the Cape Town conference. Presently assessed at over R2.6 billion, the South African gaming market is anticipated to reach R3.6 billion by 2019. South Africa boasts approximately 160,000 distinct Twitch connections (Twitch being a streaming platform that links consumers and the esports market), and over 33,000 individuals were present at the 2015 rAge expo in South Africa.
