Choplife Gaming Levels Up: Why Gambia Is Next, and How Modem Pay Powers the Move
Gaming in Africa is no longer a side hustle; Franchises like Choplife Gaming are rewriting the playbook, and Modem Pay is riding shotgun. With Mr. Eazi’s vision and infrastructure muscle, Choplife is expanding aggressively. Now they’re turning their gaze toward Gambia, and we at Modem Pay are putting ourselves at the heart of their payment engine. This isn’t just a case study; it’s a blueprint for how fintech, gaming, and local economies converge in West Africa.
Who is Choplife Gaming (and why you should care)
Choplife Gaming, founded by afrobeats star-turned-entrepreneur Oluwatosin “Mr Eazi” Ajibade, positions itself as a pan-African gaming franchise. Operating across East and West Africa, they offer sports betting, casino, and virtual gaming options.
They’ve already made waves across multiple markets:
Rwanda: Over USD 11.7 million in taxes remitted since 2022, underscoring its compliance-first approach.
Tanzania: Awarded “Overall Large Taxpayer Award” by the Tanzania Revenue Authority.
Nigeria: Secured a 4‑year licensing agreement with BetPawa, expanding deeper into West Africa.
All of this proves Choplife isn’t dabbling; they’re building a long-term, regulated, pan-African gaming powerhouse.
Why Gambia (and why now)
For Choplife, Gambia offers:
A young, digital-first population hungry for entertainment
The growing internet and mobile penetration are fueling digital services
An underserved gaming market with room for innovation
A regulatory landscape is still forming, creating opportunities for responsible early movers
For Modem Pay, having Choplife enter Gambia is validation. It’s a chance to demonstrate our payment rails at scale, while boosting credibility with regulators, banks, and other enterprises.
