about african lotteries & gaming association
resolute on Addressing Challenges that undermine Africa's financial sovereignty
ALGA is committed to tackling illegal gambling activities that have long undermined the financial sovereignty of the African continent. These illicit operations not only erode the economic stability of nations but also contribute to a cycle of poverty and disadvantage among vulnerable populations. Our objective is to rectify the injustices perpetrated by those who violate the laws established by various countries, which prohibit the operation of lotteries, such as "Fafie," commonly referred to as MoChaina in numerous African nations. These illegal lotteries and gambling slots, which have proliferated in rural areas, exploit the economies of several townships, draining financial resources that could otherwise be directed towards community development and essential public services.

FUTURE MANDATE
Africa stands at a pivotal moment in history. We are the world’s youngest continent, with a median age of just 26 years. This is not merely a demographic statistic; it is our single greatest asset—a dynamic, digitally-native generation poised to redefine global economies. Their energy, innovation, and connectivity demand industries that are not only modern and engaging but also ethical, regulated, and purpose driven. The gaming, lottery, and betting sector is uniquely positioned to be precisely that engine of growth and unity.
"Today, regulatory frameworks across our continent are a patchwork. While some nations have established advanced systems, vast landscapes of unregulated online platforms operate in the shadows, exposing our youth to potential harm and depriving our economies of vital revenue and consumer protection. This disparity is not just a regulatory challenge; it is a threat to our collective economic security and a barrier to pan-African progress."
