Kiron Launches 20 Virtual Sports Titles with SportyBet Across Africa

Kiron Launches 20 Virtual Sports Titles with SportyBet Across Africa

October 16, 2026 Alex Carter - Sports Editor Sport

Following a virtual sports rollout spanning Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, and Nigeria, Kiron Co-CEO Steven Spartinos stated that launching 20 titles across 5 countries immediately marks a powerful beginning for their collaboration with SportyBet and demonstrates the wide array of content they can deliver to the industry.

Virtual Sports Portfolio Expands Across Five African Markets

The simultaneous launch introduces Kiron’s virtual sports and numbers games content across all five jurisdictions, providing SportyBet users with scheduled, quick-format entertainment designed to run alongside live sporting events throughout the day. Football forms the largest part of the catalog, featuring league and single-match experiences covering England, Spain, and Italy. Soccer Stars and Kiron’s rapid iGOAL football offerings are also featured in the collection, alongside tournament experiences like the Virtual World Cup and Virtual Champions League.

Complementing the football offering is a racing portfolio that includes horse racing, greyhound racing, and motorsport, alongside basketball and additional virtual formats. This broad selection addresses the operational need for continuous wagering options that remain unaffected by live sporting calendar gaps. The deployment marks an important expansion for Kiron, which has provided virtual sports and numbers games since 2001 and currently maintains a portfolio of more than 60 virtual games across more than 60 countries.

Kiron Interactive is excited to announce its partnership with @SportyBet , strengthening its presence in Africa with the launch of 20 titles across Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria.Read More: https://t.co/Jgqirk0QWH#iGamingAFRIKA #iGamingIndustry #SportyBet #Kiron pic.twitter.com/hrHiJGSWwH

Operator and Supplier Perspectives on Regional Growth

Steven Spartinos noted that while football takes a natural center stage, the true strength of the deployment lies in the variety of surrounding sports, bringing diverse formats and event types into a single portfolio. He added that SportyBet has built a significant presence across Africa, establishing a solid foundation for continued growth together in the market.

Joey Hurtado, Casino Director at SportyBet, emphasized the platform’s focus on delivering a broad sports entertainment experience. According to Hurtado, who expressed eagerness to further expand the alliance, integrating virtual formats like racing, basketball, and football provides users with enhanced daily selection while nicely supplementing the platform’s existing live sports content.
