Kiron broadens its worldwide growth strategy by forging a partnership with Dafabet across the African continent.
Kiron Interactive Expands Presence in Africa and Partners with Dafabet
In a strategic move, Kiron Interactive, a leading provider of virtual games, has partnered with Dafabet, a leading Asian-based online gaming and sports betting operator. This partnership is part of Kiron Interactive's consolidation strategy, but it is not expected to consolidate Kiron Interactive's presence on the African continent, contrary to the partnership with Dafabet.
The partnership with Dafabet is expected to open up a number of exciting opportunities for Kiron Interactive, particularly in Africa. Dafabet has already made inroads in Africa, and the partnership is expected to help Kiron Interactive keep up with the expanding online and mobile betting market in Africa.
Kiron Interactive's racing games will be available on both the retail and online gaming operations of Dafabet. This partnership is not specified as part of Kiron Interactive's consolidation strategy, nor is it explicitly mentioned as a means to help Kiron Interactive maintain or expand its global presence.
In Africa, Kiron Interactive's current expansion strategy focuses on deploying data-lite virtual sports and numbers games platforms tailored to the region's low-bandwidth environments. This approach targets markets with connectivity constraints and leverages partnerships with local operators to scale quickly. The success of this strategy is exemplified by Kiron Interactive's partnership with Betika in Kenya, which resulted in a significant turnover increase shortly after the Q1 2025 rollout.
In South America, although Kiron Interactive's specific expansion moves are not detailed in the available search results, the company is actively pursuing global growth, as seen through licensing in regulated markets like Greece and product launches in the UK. However, no direct mention of Kiron's South American partnerships or expansions was identified in the current data.
In summary, Kiron Interactive is expanding its presence in Africa through a data-lite, low-bandwidth virtual sports platform tailored to African markets. The partnership with Dafabet is expected to help Kiron Interactive keep up with the expanding online and mobile betting market in Africa. No explicit Kiron Interactive expansion or partnerships in South America were identified in the available data.
