iGaming South Africa Roadshow

Vegas Kings is proud to collaborate with Optimove for their first-ever African iGaming Roadshow, taking place in Cape Town on October 29–30, 2025.

Hosted across two unforgettable days, Day 1 at the One & Only Cape Town and Day 2 at Beau Constantia Vineyard, the event brings together South Africa’s top iGaming operators, marketers and innovators for exclusive market insights, forward-thinking strategies, and meaningful networking.

Titled “iGaming South Africa: From Startups to Established Operators – Charting Your Path Forward,” this intimate gathering explores how operators at every stage can evolve and scale in one of the world’s most dynamic gaming markets.

Day 1 dives deep into three key themes:

• Learning from Success: The Past – How YesPlay transformed from outsider to market leader through smart CRM, strategy and execution.
• Understanding Complexity: The Present – Optimove, Virgin Bet and Vegas Kings discuss player migration, brand development and personalized UX for local audiences.
• Charting Your Future: What’s Next – Vegas Kings shares strategies for gamification, UI/UX optimization and real-time triggers that help brands thrive in Africa’s fast-evolving landscape.

Representing Vegas Kings will be Marketing Director Catie Di Stefano, who will take the stage on Day 1 for a 30-minute presentation, followed by a panel discussion with Catie and Virgin Bet, moderated by Optimove. She’ll share insights on how smart design, personalization and gamified marketing can drive player engagement and brand loyalty.

Joining Catie are Vegas Kings’ homegrown leaders: Ashley Adir (CEO), Moshe Adir (Co-Founder), and Stuart Allen (Managing Director), who will welcome guests to the city where Vegas Kings first began its journey in the gambling industry almost 30 years ago.

Day 2 continues in true Cape Town style with a networking lunch and wine tasting at Beau Constantia Vineyard, offering attendees the chance to unwind, connect, and exchange ideas surrounded by panoramic mountain and ocean views.

The lineup also includes:

• Gail Odgers, Head of Marketing, Virgin Bet
• Garron Whitesman, Founder, Whitesmans Attorneys
• Peter Gumenichenko, Head of CRM, YesPlay
• Punal Shah, Director of Strategic Services, Optimove
• Henry Ross, Account Executive, Optimove
