Supplier Goes Live with Leading East African Operator Betika Across Kenya and Uganda, Marking Key Expansion Milestone

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, has officially entered the Kenyan market through a landmark partnership with Betika, one of East Africa’s leading and most influential gaming operators.

The launch marks a significant step in Playson’s cross-continental expansion strategy, with Betika providing a strong and established platform for its debut in the region. By partnering with a market leader known for its scale, innovation, and deep understanding of local player preferences, Playson is well-positioned to make an immediate impact across East Africa.

Betika’s extensive customer base and proven track record in delivering engaging, responsible gaming experiences make it a key partner for international suppliers seeking to enter and scale within the region. Through this collaboration, Playson’s content will be made available to players in both Kenya and Uganda, leveraging Betika’s growing multi-market footprint.

As part of the rollout, Betika has integrated a selection of Playson’s top-performing titles, including Thunder Coins: Hold and Win, 4 Pots Riches: Hold and Win, and Coin Strike: Hold and Win, games recognised globally for their engaging mechanics, dynamic gameplay, and strong performance across regulated markets.

Playson’s entry into Kenya has been supported by targeted infrastructure and platform enhancements, ensuring full compliance with local regulatory requirements while aligning with Betika’s high standards for performance and user experience. This groundwork enables the delivery of a seamless, optimised gaming experience tailored to local audiences.

The integration was facilitated via the Casimba (Markor) aggregation platform, enabling efficient deployment and scalability across jurisdictions.

Conor Jenner, Senior Sales Manager at Playson, said: “Entering the Kenyan market is a major milestone for Playson, and doing so alongside a leading operator like Betika makes this step even more impactful. Betika’s strong market presence and deep understanding of its players provide an excellent foundation for our content to perform from day one.

We have carefully adapted our infrastructure to meet local regulatory standards and operator requirements, ensuring a smooth rollout and high-quality player experience. We are excited about the opportunities this market presents and look forward to expanding our presence across Africa.”

Peter Stagles, Group Chief Product Officer at Betika, added: “We are pleased to partner with Playson and bring their globally recognised portfolio to our players in Kenya and Uganda.
