Continent 8 Technologies, leading provider of cutting-edge managed technology solutions designed for the global iGaming and online sports betting industry, has announced its expansion into Africa with the launch of a new data centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The deployment extends Continent 8’s full portfolio of managed technology, connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity solutions into the region, supported by its purpose-built private global network and world-class digital infrastructure.
Live in Q4 2026, the Johannesburg facility marks Continent 8’s first deployment on the African continent and will enable operators, platform providers and content suppliers to deliver faster, more consistent digital experiences to South African players while remaining seamlessly connected with their wider international operations and partners.
Mike Small, CEO at Continent 8 Technologies, says: “Expanding into Africa is a significant milestone for Continent 8 and a natural next step in our global growth strategy. South Africa is one of the most important, regulated betting markets in the world, and establishing a presence in Johannesburg allows us to bring the full strength of the Continent 8 platform closer to customers operating in the region.
“Beyond local infrastructure, customers will gain access to our private global network, cybersecurity expertise, cloud ecosystem and one of the most connected networks in the world, enabling them to innovate, scale and operate with confidence across multiple jurisdictions.”
