If you want to know where the future of gaming in Africa is headed, start with the Africa Gaming Expo (AGE). It’s the place where the biggest ideas, boldest innovations, and brightest minds in the gaming world come together to push the industry forward.

This year’s event, AGE Lagos 2025, was held from 25 to 27 February at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos, and it delivered in every way. From powerful panel talks to eye-catching demos, exciting tech showcases, and plenty of deal-making behind the scenes, AGE is where serious progress happens.

AGE isn’t just another event. It’s where real change starts—especially when it comes to making gaming across Africa safer, smarter, and more connected.

One of the biggest topics this year? Responsible gambling.
More and more African countries now allow regulated online gaming on trusted platforms like 10Bet. These platforms follow new rules to protect players and help them stick to their budgets.

At AGE, experts shared fresh ideas on how to protect players, build trust, and grow the industry the right way.

AGE is packed with activities and conversations that matter. Here’s a snapshot of what goes on:

Leaders and regulators sit down together to talk about fair laws and safe practices. It’s about making gaming better for everyone, players and businesses.

From mobile gaming and AI to blockchain and digital payments, AGE is where you’ll find the newest tools and trends shaking up the industry.

Whether you’re a startup or an industry leader, this is where partnerships are formed and ideas come to life. Investors, developers, publishers, operators—you name it, they’re there.

Africa’s gaming industry is expanding fast. AGE puts a spotlight on up-and-coming markets, helping them grow in smart, responsible ways.

The gaming world isn’t just fun—it’s full of career potential. AGE shows how gaming can drive real economic growth and job creation across the continent.
