Specialist online training provider iGaming Academy has launched an exclusive collaboration with Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority?(Lagos LGA) to offer industry education across Nigeria and West Africa.

The collaboration will set a new standard of gaming education across the region. Courses and training programmes have been designed to educate employees working within the West Africa gaming industry on essential compliance topics such as anti-money laundering (AML) and responsible gambling (RG).

Specialist course content will be localised for the West African market, as well as the specific requirements of individual companies. The program will be run in direct collaboration with Lagos LGA, offering a guarantee of conformity with all relevant regulation and updates.

Over 480 staff from 27 companies in the region have already accessed COVID-19 Readiness training through the new Lagos LGA online portal. The course enables employees to operate safely within workplaces, land-based casinos and retail outlets. The training was provided by iGaming Academy and Lagos LGA to help operators educate their staff on best practise during these difficult times.

Mandatory anti-money laundering (AML) and responsible gambling (RG) online training, built specifically for the West African market, will be launched in the coming weeks. Staff will receive access through the Lagos LGA training portal, via individual accounts. Certificates will be available for download upon successful completion of the training and assessments.

iGaming Academy, part of The Conexus Group, currently trains over 40,000 professionals every year across 100+ companies in 45+ countries. The company specialises on industry-specific compliance and product eLearning and has extensive experience training professionals of all levels within online gaming, land-based casinos, lotteries, and betting shops.

This new collaboration will ensure that gaming companies in West Africa are able to easily access high quality, regulator-approved training content year-round. Training will be available in an interactive online format, and companies will have the option to create a bespoke online learning portal to deploy courses across every location.

The Conexus Group’s other gaming brands, including Pentasia recruitment and Partis consulting, also have extensive experience operating within the African gaming market, as well as worldwide.
