Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team targeting small-to-mid betting operators across Africa and emerging markets who need compliance features but can't afford enterprise solutions.

How to build it

1. Pick one African betting operator (Lagos-based or regional) and interview them on their current responsible gambling gaps and regulatory pain points. 2. Build an MVP dashboard that lets operators set and enforce daily/weekly spend limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion flags for their players via a simple API. 3. Integrate with 1–2 popular local payment rails (Paystack, Flutterwave) to catch transactions that breach limits before they complete. 4. Launch with that first operator as case study; charge them a fixed monthly fee + % of flagged transactions prevented. 5. Expand to 3–5 similar operators in the same region, then move upmarket to larger platforms once you have compliance credibility.
