MarTech for Francophone African Gaming

Your players are transacting. Your revenue isn't growing. We have measured that gap — and it is larger than you think.

Vos joueurs jouent. Vos revenus stagnent. Nous avons chiffré cet écart — et il est plus important que vous ne le pensez.

01 Our capabilities

Four capabilities.
One measurable outcome.

From CRM architecture to full digital transformation — everything we build is indexed to your revenue growth, not our day rate.

01

MarTech & Player Intelligence

CRM and retention infrastructure built for USSD and mobile, not just markets where smartphone penetration is 80%. Player lifecycle journeys, attrition prediction, loyalty architecture.

Attrition accuracy: 87%

02

Lottery Digital Transformation

We have modelled the digital revenue gap for national lotteries in West Africa. The upside is specific, not theoretical. Channel strategy, acquisition, USSD-to-digital migration.

Revenue upside: 63bn XOF identified

03

Platform & Technology

Built for the market as it actually exists: USSD, feature phones, and mobile money, not the market global vendors design for. USSD gaming deployment, PAM integration, multi-channel betting.

02 Measured, attributed, contextualised

The numbers. The context. The work behind them.

The Attrition Signal
87%
Player attrition prediction accuracy
Achieved using transaction history and behavioural data alone — no external data sources required. The model runs on infrastructure the operator already has.
West African sports betting mission, 2024
The ROI Reality
252%
ROI within 12 months of engagement
Measured against pre-mission GGR baseline. The GGR growth that funded the ROI came from retention, reactivation, and lifecycle automation — not from new customer acquisition.
Same mission, measured over 12 months
The Conversion Effect
Conversion uplift from lifecycle automation
Triggered communications based on individual behavioural scoring outperform batch broadcast by a factor of three. Every operator we work with starts with broadcast. None of them end there.

The Acquisition Shift
50%
Reduction in customer acquisition cost
When retention rate rises, the pressure on acquisition drops. Operators spend less per new player when existing players are staying longer and spending more.
Same sports betting mission
The Speed Advantage
<9 mo
Payback period on a full MarTech mission
The full engagement — scoping, build, deployment, and optimisation — pays back in under nine months. Most competitors quote 18 to 24 months. The difference is the work we do in the diagnostic phase before a single line of code is written.

The Revenue Opportunity
63bn
XOF in unaddressed annual revenue, one operator
Identified across five distinct player segments in a diagnostic of 360 million ticket transactions and 45 million USSD bets. This is the gap that already exists in your data — before any new infrastructure is built.

03 Case in Point

A national lottery operator in Côte d'Ivoire: 63 billion XOF sitting in five unaddressed segments.

This operator has maintained a 13% digital share for six consecutive quarters. The headline metric looks stable. The underlying picture is different.

Our diagnostic of their transaction data — 360 million ticket purchases, 45 million USSD bets, 12 million app events — identified five distinct revenue segments that are currently unaddressed by their digital infrastructure. The combined annual upside totals approximately 63 billion XOF.

None of it requires a new platform. It requires the right CRM architecture, player scoring, and lifecycle automation applied to data they already hold.

04 Where we operate

We are not generalists who have discovered Africa.

VA Tech was built around the specific dynamics of gaming and lottery markets in Francophone West Africa — markets where USSD is infrastructure, where French is the language of regulation, and where no global CRM vendor has yet established a credible presence. Our active focus is Côte d'Ivoire, Bénin, the DRC, and the broader WAEMU zone. If your primary market is in this geography, you are not a prospect to us. You are exactly the operator we work for.

Our methodology

From raw transaction data
to a revenue action plan.

We start with what you already have — player records, transaction logs, channel data — and turn it into a revenue diagnostic with quantified upside by segment.

The Revenue Diagnostic

What a Revenue Diagnostic involves

01

What we do

A structured 5-day analysis of your player transaction data, channel mix, and digital revenue gaps. We work with the data you already hold — no new infrastructure required.

02

What you receive

A written report with quantified revenue upside by player segment. Specific numbers, specific segments, specific recommendations — not a slide deck of observations.

03

What it costs: Nothing

Nothing. The diagnostic is how we determine whether there is a basis for a longer engagement. If there is not, we will tell you.

04

What it requires

Access to your transaction data and a single internal point of contact. No lengthy briefing process, no upfront commitment.
