Lagos, Nigeria – October 8, 2025 — Global gaming innovator, Sbarter, has announced its entry into the Nigerian market, introducing a first-of-its-kind protocol that is redefining how players, publishers, and investors engage with the gaming ecosystem. Designed to make gaming more fun, fair, and secure, Sbarter enables skill-based competitions where outcomes depend entirely on player performance rather than chance. This marks a major step forward for Nigeria’s rapidly expanding gaming industry, offering a transparent and compliant framework for fair play and sustainable growth.
With Nigeria’s gaming community growing at record pace, driven by millions of young, tech-savvy players, Sbarter’s entry comes at a time when the market is ripe for innovation. The platform allows players to participate in skill-based contests within their favourite games — whether competing with friends or global rivals — while publishers earn secure revenue without disrupting gameplay. Every match result is verified through blockchain-powered smart contracts, ensuring winners receive instant payouts and publishers act as neutral verifiers. Built on a foundation of regulatory compliance, Sbarter integrates mandatory KYC and AML checks, geo-fencing for restricted regions, and protections for under-18 users, creating a safe and transparent environment for all participants.
According to Alessandro Fried, Chairman at Sbarter, “Nigeria is one of the most exciting gaming markets in the world — young, creative, and digital-first. Our goal is to empower that energy with a fair, compliant, and rewarding way to play. We’re not just introducing another gaming product; we’re enabling an entirely new economy built on skill, transparency, and trust.”
Developed over three years by a team of more than forty professionals with backgrounds at EA, Microsoft, Sony PlayStation, Sportradar, and SEGA, Sbarter’s protocol has been engineered to scale globally while adapting seamlessly to local markets such as Nigeria. The platform aims to strengthen the region’s digital economy by giving developers, creators, and publishers new tools to monetise their communities through fair and legal skill-based models. In a space where ad-heavy and chance-driven systems often dominate, Sbarter’s technology promises a cleaner, more equitable alternative that rewards performance and creativity.
Following successful pre-seed and seed funding rounds, Sbarter has now opened a €40 million Series A fundraising campaign, offering six billion SBT tokens as part of a regulated sale. Proceeds from the raise will fuel partnerships with local and international publishers, accelerate user acquisition, and expand Sbarter’s compliance and operational capabilities across Africa. “We believe Nigeria will play a defining role in shaping the future of gaming,” Fried added. “Our mission is to build a trusted layer for fair competition — a system that lets every player’s skill create value. With the support of visionary investors and creators, Sbarter is poised to unlock a new chapter for gaming across the continent.”
Set for launch in the first quarter of 2026, Sbarter targets up to ten million users within five years, positioning itself as the new standard for compliant, skill-based contests. Its blockchain-powered SBT token underpins the ecosystem, enabling transparency, scalability, and global reach. By combining regulatory rigour with blockchain innovation, Sbarter is not just building a platform — it is creating the foundation for a new digital gaming economy that is fun, fair, and sustainable.
