With extensive knowledge of sports betting, sportsbook software, and what operators need to run a successful sports betting business, Dinos Stranomitis is well-positioned to discuss the benefits of a ‘light’ sportsbook option. He has a deep understanding of what it takes for a light sportsbook to thrive and how mobile-light variations of Altenar’s software can adapt to local environments, as has already proven successful across Africa and Madagascar.
As the co-founder and COO of Altenar—a Malta-based key provider of sportsbook services to licensed gaming operators—Stranomitis comments on the success of light sportsbook solutions: “It has to grow from a four-inch screen. A mobile-first approach has enabled Altenar’s software to not only gain widespread acceptance in Africa and other regions, but also to bridge the gap between what is and isn’t accessible.”
As the world gradually returns to normal and mobile usage rises, it’s no surprise that some countries are experiencing an increase in data or roaming charges. This is especially relevant for African nations. Historically, data charges in Africa have been much higher than those in nearby regions like Europe.
Experts say that by using a light sportsbook or mobile-light version, players can reduce costs while still placing bets—unlocking exciting possibilities for Altenar and its partnerships across Africa. Altenar thrives on challenges, and the sportsbook software provider’s mantra, Stability meets Flexibility, is a testament to that. Designing mobile-light or data-light software without sacrificing performance or user experience was a challenge that Stranomitis and Altenar embraced with confidence.
The mobile-light version of a sportsbook website has been a passionate initiative for Stranomitis and Altenar, earning overwhelming support from players in Africa. Being a data-conscious, adaptable, and reliable software provider has made Altenar a top choice for operators entering the African market—or those looking to expand with this offering in other global regions.
