Where to Drive Tier-1 Sport Traffic in April: Top Events & Promos
April continues the high-intensity sports season, with a dense schedule of matches, tournaments, and decisive stages that consistently drive spikes in player engagement and deposit activity. For affiliates, this creates a strong opportunity window to capture high-intent traffic and scale performance during peak moments.
Affiliates working with N1 Partners can run sports-driven traffic across three products: N1 Bet, RollXO and Lucky Hunter.
This gives you the flexibility to scale on a dedicated sportsbook while also expanding monetization through high-converting casino brands. By covering both betting and casino audiences, you can tap into a wider range of user intent and increase overall revenue potential.
This is especially relevant for partners participating in the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, where timing, traffic allocation, and smart scaling directly impact your final results — and where teams can also drive SEO traffic to sports, expanding their coverage and growth opportunities.

Soft2Bet Wins in Two Categories at the EGR B2B Awards 2026
Soft2Bet has won two major honours at the EGR B2B Awards 2026. The igaming company took home titles for Innovation in Mobile and Innovation in Casino Software.
The awards recognise Soft2Bet’s ability to turn product development into practical growth tools for operators, from native mobile apps and platform migration to MEGA and back-office control. Its technology is shaped by local market needs, partner strategy and strict compliance standards, helping operators launch securely, adapt quickly and grow in competitive markets.
The Innovation in Casino Software award highlights Soft2Bet’s casino platform, back-office tools and MEGA, its Motivational Engineering Gaming Application. The platform brings casino, sportsbook, CRM, CMS, KYC, payments, risk, promotions and player engagement into a single operating setup, giving operators greater control and reducing the need to manage multiple suppliers.
MEGA adds gamification engines to casino and sportsbook journeys through missions, challenges, rewards, segmentation and player progression. For operators, this supports stronger retention, higher LTV and clearer commercial performance. Recent network performance figures show 190% year-on-year Casino Games GGR growth, 173% year-on-year Sportsbook GGR growth, more than 200 million game rounds processed each day and 99.99% platform uptime.
Andrew Cochrane, Chief Commercial Officer at Soft2Bet, said: “Recognition from EGR is a strong endorsement of the product development our teams are delivering across mobile, casino software and gamification. Operators want technology that helps them compete, retain players and improve performance without adding unnecessary complexity. These awards support that direction and give us added momentum as we bring MEGA and our platform to more partners.”
The Innovation in Mobile award highlights Soft2Bet’s native app delivery and mobile-first design. Its edge-optimised mobile architecture supports fast load times, stable gameplay, simple one-thumb navigation, haptic feedback, adjustable text sizes and voice-enabled navigation.
Recent mobile work across Betinia and Swiper shows how Soft2Bet creates distinct app journeys for different brands and markets. Betinia reached No. 1 in Sweden and Denmark, and QuickCasino Sweden recorded a 30% improvement in conversion following an App Store Product Page test.
Soft2Bet’s two wins at the EGR B2B Awards 2026 add further recognition to 10 years of building iGaming technology for operators. The company continues to expand its B2B turnkey offering for operators seeking platform migration, native mobile apps and support for new market launches.
Each project is shaped around local player behaviour, partner strategy and strict compliance standards, helping operators enter markets securely and reduce operational complexity. MEGA, Soft2Bet’s API-based gamification product for casino and sportsbook, adds missions, rewards, segmentation and player progression, supporting stronger engagement, retention, LTV and long-term commercial performance.

Multipliers
