Casino Guru and Gamble Alert’s team in Nigeria have agreed a new strategic cooperation that will see the organizations pool their expertise, connections and capabilities to strengthen the resources available to gambling operators and industry professionals in Nigeria.
The focus of the cooperation rests with safer gambling and player protection education for interested stakeholders and their customer-facing staff, driving sector-wide change through tailored initiatives and specifically relevant free courses from Casino Guru Academy.
Casino Guru leans into Gambling Alert’s strong understanding of the local environment, allowing the available resources to reach relevant stakeholders in Nigeria.
Commenting on this new opportunity, Šimon Vincze, Head of Sustainable & Safer Gambling at Casino Guru, said:
Meaningful player protection depends on the knowledge and preparedness of the people making decisions inside the industry every day. Gamble Alert brings a strong understanding of the local environment and valuable relationships with stakeholders in Nigeria. By cooperating, we can make practical education easier to access and support operators that want to strengthen their approach to safer gambling.
Gamble Alert will promote the available resources through its network of professionals and communication channels, offering an opportunity for gambling industry stakeholders to undergo rigorous training in crucial areas such as safer gambling and suicide prevention.
Other important courses available will include complaint handling, player verification, anti-money laundering, among others.
Gamble Alert Founder and CEO Fisayo Oke similarly shared his thoughts on the partnership and its significance, reflecting on the evolution of the African gambling landscape over the past years:
Africa’s gambling markets are evolving rapidly, and player protection frameworks must evolve alongside them. At Gamble Alert, our work extends beyond awareness creation to include research, treatment, policy advocacy, industry training, and stakeholder collaboration. By working with Casino Guru, we can further expand access to practical resources, strengthen professional competencies, and support the development of a safer and more accountable gambling ecosystem across Nigeria and Africa.
Further to this partnership, Casino Guru and Gamble Alert will exchange non-confidential insights on local priorities and international good practices, and identify areas of further collaboration, such as operator-facing webinars, awareness activities, industry events, and more, all to strengthen player protection practices across the market.
Casino Guru Academy is an ongoing project that delivers free educational courses focused on iGaming professionals and developed with industry specialists with a proven track record in respective fields.
