🔥 Africa’s VIP game is NOT what you think.
Most operators still see VIPs only as high-rollers. But as Gali Hartuv, CEO of WarriorLab Africa, explained on our Peaky Ads podcast, African VIPs are defined by loyalty, consistency, and cultural connection—not just deposit size.
Here are 5 key takeaways:
💰 Different thresholds – A €2,000/month VIP in Nigeria can be just as valuable as €20,000/month in Europe. It’s all relative to the economy.
📱 Mobile-first loyalty – Africa is mobile-first by default. WhatsApp, Telegram, and even SMS are the main VIP communication channels.
👩 The rise of female VIPs – In markets like Nigeria & Kenya, women now make up to 25% of new VIP entrants, often in football betting, esports, and crash games.
⚡️ Speed wins trust – Fast KYC (under 10 min) and instant withdrawals are absolute deal-breakers. If you can’t move money quickly, you lose the VIP.
🐐 Out-of-the-box campaigns work – Remember Betika’s Goat Giveaway? Instead of bonuses, they gave away actual goats in Ghana during the festive season. A campaign still talked about years later.
👉 African VIPs can contribute 30–50% of operator revenue—but only if you move past generic “big bonus” tactics and build real, localized programs.
