Twain Sport launches in Africa with Betway
Head-to-head hybrid sports league Twain Sport, powered by Hybrid Sports League and BetGames, is set to make its debut in Africa thanks to teaming up with Betway.

James Everett, BetGames’ sales director, Africa, said: “Africa as a whole is a hotbed for sports betting and the Twain Sport proposition is perfectly suited to match the rapidly growing demand for contemporary entertainment in the space.
“As one of Africa’s most trusted names in betting we couldn’t have hoped for a higher profile partner to get started with – the opportunity this represents cannot be understated.”
With T-basket having already launched, Twain Sport is looking to launch T-kick in Q1 2023.
