The official shortlist of the Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards 2020 is now live.

It has been a hard and stressful period for some of the companies who battled daily by reaching out to their clients base and asking for feedback via votes to help them climb the charts and be included in the shortlist for the 2020 edition of the Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards (BSG Awards).

During June, the industry had the chance to cast their votes online for their favorite operators, software suppliers, and connected service providers and help them reach the Top 5 for their respective categories.

The online voting closed on the 30^th of June at midnight and we are happy to announce that despite the critical period the industry is facing, there have been a total of 9641 votes submitted during the session. There have been many categories in which the number of votes has been at the exact results for 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and even 5^th place. All companies who made the shortlist should feel proud of this achievement.

The shortlists for each category can be found below and as mentioned in the statement, the winners will be decided by the attending delegates via final voting session at the third edition of the conference and awards that will be held on the 6^th of August in Tallinn at Radisson Blu Hotel Olümpia Tallinn.

Make sure to book as fast as possible as the seating is limited! You can choose one of the packages that include either delegate pass or delegate pass and accommodation combo (VIP Package)!

How South Africa Will Lead Online Casino Trends in Africa in 2025

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The online casino industry in Africa is poised for rapid growth in 2025, and South Africa is at the forefront of this revolution. As one of the continent’s most advanced markets, South Africa is shaping trends that are set to influence how online gaming evolves across the region. From technological innovation to user-centric platforms, South Africa is cementing its reputation as a leader in the online casino space.

Innovation Meets Regulation

One of the key factors enabling South Africa’s leadership is the balance between innovation and regulation. The country has established a robust framework for online gambling south africa, ensuring player safety while fostering innovation among operators. This regulatory environment attracts world-class developers and service providers, allowing local players to enjoy cutting-edge games and features. In 2025, expect a surge in virtual reality (VR) casino games, personalised gaming experiences, and AI-driven customer support—all trends likely to emerge first in South Africa before spreading to the rest of Africa.

Local Payment Solutions for a Seamless Experience

South African casinos are addressing one of the biggest barriers to entry for players: payment methods. With the rise of local solutions like 1ForYou Vouchers and Capitec Pay, players can now deposit and withdraw seamlessly, even if they lack traditional banking access. This innovation will set a precedent for neighbouring countries, making online casinos more accessible to a wider audience across the continent.

Empowering Players Across Africa

As South Africa leads the charge, one of the most exciting developments is the focus on player empowerment. South African operators are raising the bar by offering transparent terms, generous bonus structures, and educational resources to help players make smarter choices. Features like no deposit bonuses, free spins no deposit, slots real money, and loyalty programmes are becoming standard, providing more value to players and ensuring they stay engaged. This player-centric approach is expected to ripple across Africa, inspiring other markets to adopt similar practices.

A Gateway for International Operators

South Africa’s leadership is not only influencing local players but also positioning the country as a gateway for international operators looking to expand into Africa. With its robust infrastructure, tech-savvy population, and a deep understanding of the local gaming culture, South Africa is an ideal testing ground for new technologies and games. Global brands are increasingly partnering with South African affiliates and operators to introduce innovations that meet the needs of African players, further solidifying the country’s influence in the region.

Community and Responsible Gaming at the Core

Another significant trend is the emphasis on community and responsible gaming. South African platforms are leading the way by integrating tools for self-regulation, offering support for problem gambling, and fostering an online environment that prioritises player well-being. By blending fun with responsibility, South Africa is setting a benchmark for what sustainable online gaming should look like—not just for Africa, but for the global online casino industry.

SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za Leads the Conversation

Bart Charrings, a lead writer and expert at SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za, highlights the role South African affiliate sites play in shaping this dynamic landscape. “At SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za, we pride ourselves on providing not just reviews, but insights that empower players to make informed decisions. Our unique focus on local payment methods, mobile-optimised platforms, and beginner-friendly guides sets us apart from the competition,” says Charrings.

SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za is also known for its in-depth coverage of South African-specific trends, including how local regulations impact the gaming experience and what players can expect from the latest casino launches. By bridging the gap between players and trustworthy operators, the site is a key resource for South Africans seeking safe and enjoyable online casino experiences.

Partnership cements Swedish gaming giant as a world leader in entertainment

Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced a unique partnership with world-renowned music label Spinnin’ Records.

The partnership will see the legendary games studio produce two bespoke games on behalf of the label, the first of which, Into the Beat, will release in March of this year, and is yet another landmark in Play’n GO’s expansion into the world of entertainment.

Play’n GO Music launched in 2023, and in the intervening months has become a globally recognised brand, collaborating with artists from around the world. Play’n GO Music also earned acclaim for its collaboration with MoneyGram Haas F1 Team in 2024, which saw the division produce playlists in conjunction with Ayao Komatsu, Nico Hulkenberg, and Kevin Magnussen, as well as producing a track for the motorsport team with Canadian EDM artist Humansion.

This collaboration with Spinnin’ Records further cements Play’n GO’s position at the forefront of music-themed entertainment, delivering innovative experiences that blend the worlds of gaming and music as never before.

Ebba Arnred, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Play’n GO, commented “We’re very excited to team up with the world’s leading dance label and community, Spinnin’ Records. Both of our businesses share a commitment to the highest quality entertainment, and this partnership is a perfect fit for our business. We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and to deliver unique experiences, and we’re confident that this industry-first partnership will push the boundaries of what is possible in iGaming. We’re looking forward to the release of both games in collaboration with Spinnin’ Records, and to delivering best-in-class entertainment together.”
