African Responsible Gaming Network
Together for a safer Africa.
A growing network of African organisations and professionals working together to strengthen responsible gaming and prevent gambling-related harm.
Local knowledge. Shared responsibility. Continental cooperation.
Why we exist
Progress is stronger when it is shared.
Gambling-related harm crosses borders, while the people addressing it have often worked in isolation, within their own countries and regulatory environments. ARGN creates room for those voices to meet, learn from one another and move forward together.
Officially launched in Johannesburg in September 2026, the network brings together organisations, researchers, treatment specialists, advocates and industry stakeholders across eleven countries, a unified African platform for responsible gaming, education, prevention, treatment, research and policy development.
How we cooperate
One network. Many perspectives. Shared purpose.
Our strength comes from bringing different kinds of experience into the same room, while respecting the realities of each country.

As online and sports betting expand their offering and continental market share, it is important that player protection and responsible gambling remain at the centre of operations for a sustainable market.
