Our Editorial Team

Every guide, review and blog post on AfricanBettingGuides carries a named byline. This page lists the nine people behind them: a Pan-Africa Editor who edits and fact-checks the country guides and writes the operator reviews, and eight analysts who each live in the market they cover and write only that country’s guide.

Each profile below lists exactly which pages that person is credited with, pulled from the same source the bylines render from. How we assess operators is set out in How We Rate Bookmakers, and the standards the team works to are in our Editorial Guidelines. Our funding and independence are covered on the About page.
