In a disclosure on Wednesday, the company said it submitted applications to South Africa’s Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB), the provincial regulator of betting and gaming activities, for a national manufacturer license, a bookmaker license, and a bookmaker premises license.

The company said WCGRB is considered a preferred jurisdiction for international operators because of its “transparent regulatory processes and digital readiness.”
