“Small step for you, a big step for their future.”
Eventus International, in partnership with the Gambling Authority of Botswana, is proud to announce the Pan African Gaming Taxation and Revenue (PAGTR) Summit 2026, a premier gathering of policymakers, regulators, tax authorities, and industry leaders dedicated to shaping the future of gaming across Africa.
The summit will take place from 17–18 September 2026 at The Grand Palm Hotel Casino and Convention Resort, bringing together key stakeholders to engage in high-level dialogue, share insights, and advance sustainable and effective taxation frameworks for the gaming sector.
Under its forward-looking agenda, the PAGTR Summit 2026 aims to foster collaboration between governments and the private sector to ensure that gaming taxation systems across Africa are transparent, stable, competitive, and growth-oriented.
Driving Impact Beyond Policy
In addition to its strategic focus, the PAGTR Summit 2026 will champion meaningful social impact through the launch of a Corporate Social Investment (CSI) Donation Programme aimed at supporting primary school students in underserved communities, including learners from Batlokwa National Primary School.
The initiative seeks to collect and distribute 1000 pairs of primary school shoes, addressing a critical yet often overlooked barrier to education. Proper school footwear plays a vital role in improving attendance, enhancing confidence, and enabling children to fully participate in their learning journey.
Eventus International has committed 100 pairs of shoes towards this initiative and is calling on partners, sponsors, and delegates to contribute towards achieving the full target.
“At the Botswana Gambling Authority, Corporate Social Investment is not an afterthought, it is a clear directive. We are deliberate in aligning every initiative with national priorities, ensuring that responsible gambling, community empowerment, and youth development are embedded within the core of our regulatory mandate. Through this structured approach, we are not only regulating the industry, but we are also actively safeguarding societal wellbeing and shaping a more sustainable future for Botswana.”
