DigiPlus Interactive has officially submitted its license applications to the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB), marking a significant move in the company’s strategic entry into the the market of South Africa.
This development advances DigiPlus’s ambition to establish a presence in what is widely considered one of the most promising and well-regulated online gaming jurisdictions in the world.
To facilitate its market entry, DigiPlus has applied for three distinct operator licenses: a National Manufacturer License, a Bookmaker License, and a Bookmaker Premises License.
The company’s choice to file with the WCGRB underscores the board’s strong reputation among international operators.
The Western Cape is regarded as a preferred jurisdiction due to its transparent and clear regulatory processes, as well as its advanced digital infrastructure, which provides a stable foundation for online gaming operations.
This expansion effort in Africa is a key part of DigiPlus Interactive’s broader global growth strategy. The move into South Africa comes shortly after the company’s recent international debut in another major emerging market.
On September 22, 2025, DigiPlus successfully launched its first international brand, GamePlus, in Brazil, signaling a period of accelerated global expansion for the firm.
By pursuing a license in South Africa, DigiPlus aims to leverage its extensive experience in creating innovative and localized gaming content for diverse markets.
The company plans to introduce its high standards of responsible gaming and player protection to the dynamic South African economy, further solidifying its position as a competitive global operator.
Eusebio Tanco, Chairman at DigiPlus Interactive:
The filing of our online gaming license in South Africa marks another milestone in DigiPlus’ global growth journey, as we bring our proven track record of innovation, responsible gaming, and player protection, together with our strength in localizing games for diverse markets, to one of Africa’s most dynamic economies.
