#1 tbes50203 on 09 Jan 25Hi! I have a question: how do bookmakers, for example 1x, influence the digitalization of Africa? I understand that recently many such companies are actively developing mobile applications and online payments, but how does this specifically help the development of the region? For example, the Internet in some African countries is not so stable, and mobile money is not always available to everyone. I wonder how 1x in such conditions helps people not only to bet money, but also, for example, improves access to the Internet or develops mobile technologies? Does this help to develop the economy on a larger scale, or is it more about commerce for the company itself? -

In fact, the role of bookmakers like 1xBet in the digitalization of Africa is more significant than it might seem at first glance. Of course, the main business of such companies is betting, but they are essentially becoming catalysts for digital change in the region, especially when it comes to mobile applications, internet connection and online payments. To begin with, it is important to understand that in Africa, mobile technology is the backbone of the digital economy. In many countries on the continent, traditional banking systems are not so developed, and mobile phones serve not only as a means of communication, but also as the main tool for accessing the Internet. Mobile money, such as M-Pesa in Kenya, is an important step in the development of financial services for the majority of the population. And bookmakers like 1XBET isn't scam play an important role in popularizing mobile payments. In most cases, people who do not have bank cards or accounts can place bets through mobile money. This gives them the opportunity to participate in financial transactions without leaving the comfort of their phone. For 1xBet, this is certainly a way to attract new customers, but for the region, this is a huge step towards a more accessible and convenient financial service. In addition, bookmakers are actively working to improve the mobile infrastructure. In order for their services to work stably, it is necessary to improve the quality of Internet connections, especially in remote regions. Although the Internet in Africa is far from perfect, bookmakers contribute to improving the quality of communication, since it is important for them that their applications work without failures. For example, Nigeria and Kenya have invested in improving mobile networks so that players can place bets and receive winnings online without delays. Of course, these improvements primarily affect users of bookmaker services, but they somehow contribute to the growth of digital infrastructure in the country, since they increase the demand for faster and more stable Internet. -
#3 billyjohn on 09 Jan 25An interesting point of view, but I think it is also worth considering the possible negative consequences. For example, while companies like 1xBet are helping to develop mobile applications and improve online payments, it is worth remembering the potential dangers of gambling for local residents. In many African countries, sports betting is becoming quite popular, but it is often associated with high risks - especially for people who are not always aware of the possible consequences. Of course, improving mobile technology and access to the Internet is good, but we need to ensure that such companies do not contribute to the growth of gambling addiction in countries where the culture of financial literacy is still in its infancy.
