The Authority said licensed operators accepted P150 million in wagers in March 2025, paid P135 million in winnings and generated P15 million in gross gambling revenue. It also estimated that only about 40% of Botswana’s estimated 550,000 active bettors were using licensed local operators, leaving a substantial share of demand with unregulated platforms.
By December 2025, Kemorwale said gambling revenue had exceeded P700m, and the Authority expected the industry to surpass P1 billion by the end of the 2026/27 financial year in March 2027.
Kemorwale said Botswana needed to modernise oversight as the sector developed, including through a central electronic monitoring system and stronger enforcement capability. “Truth be told, this industry is evolving as the sun rises. You snooze, you lose,” Kemorwale said. He added that the Authority still relies on outside specialists for some technical regulatory work because domestic expertise is limited.

“As this new chapter begins, OpenBet is better positioned than ever to drive market expansion and product innovation while defining the future of betting and gaming entertainment,” Levin said at the time.

Cubeia is also moving away from the traditional process in which a developer builds something and then hands it to QA.
In the old model, Grenstad says, the product owner decided what to build, the developer decided how to build it, QA tested it and operations eventually handled the release.
As discussed last month, QA has become part of the process rather than a final stage. Product engineers consider from the planning stage what can be automated and what needs manual testing, while QA specialists now strengthen automation and identify gaps in coverage.
