New omni-channel platform partnership set to fuel major expansion

Leading African operator Sahara Games has rolled out a full omni-channel solution with next generation platform provider Pronet Gaming.

The innovative offering, which made its debut in Uganda this week and will roll out shortly in Kenya and Nigeria, includes both new online sportsbook and casino, as well as retail, platforms that feature their own UI and UX.

Pronet Gaming’s full suite of sportsbook solutions includes 35,000 live events a week, full and partial cash out, live match tracker and statistics, fast, accurate data, and a full risk management service to provide Sahara Games’ sports-mad customers with all they could want.

Its online casino content includes a catalogue of over 6,000 slots, table games from nearly 70 of the world’s best performing studios, and number games that are tailored to specific African markets.

Colin McDonagh, Pronet Gaming’s Chief Sales Officer, said the launch would provide the brand with a unique offering in a number of important markets and would throw down the gauntlet to its rivals.

He added: “Sahara Games now has an online and retail platform that will take them past the competition and give them a solid, dependable base upon which to create significant commercial growth.

“As an operator it is so important to not only have all of the modern tools and products at your disposal but to be able them to showcase them in your own unique way. We are really looking forward to delivering this for them.”

Jeff Halloran, CEO of Sahara Games, said: “Many platform providers don’t understand the African market and wonder why players don’t engage, so we were careful to choose a solution that provided the features they want and adapted to their demands.

“We assessed dozens of platforms and chose to partner with Pronet Gaming primarily because they understood the flexibility we required. Thanks to their platform, we plan to offer creative features to the African market that have never been seen before.”
