GR8 Tech has once more been honored as the Best Sports Betting Provider in Central and Eastern Europe at the GamingTECH Awards 2026, solidifying its status as a top sportsbook technology partner in the area. After the company’s victory in the same category in 2025, the newest acknowledgment highlights its reliability and ongoing advancement in enhancing its sportsbook platform.

“This award is meaningful for us because it comes at a time when operators are asking more from their sportsbook,” said Dinos Doxiadis, Head of Sportsbook at GR8 Tech. “They need speed when traffic peaks, more control over how they trade and promote, and a product that helps them respond quickly when demand shifts. That is where we have been investing, especially with the World Cup ahead.”

With operators gearing up for larger event-triggered traffic surges, increased competition for player acquisition, and heightened expectations regarding in-play betting and engagement, the quality of sportsbooks is growing increasingly crucial. GR8 Tech is focusing on that sector by optimizing its sportsbook for better management, scalability, and increased efficiency in converting player interest into profit.

For GR8 Tech, the accolade is further evidence that its sportsbook approach is effective. As the World Cup nears, the company stays dedicated to providing operators with a better product for the year’s largest betting chance, with additional sportsbook updates coming soon.

FairPlay Sports Media (FPSM), a leading sports media and BetTech network, has unveiled FairPlay Customer Insights, a continuously updated commercial decision-making engine built exclusively for UK betting operators.

Powered by a verified panel of over 1,000 active UK bettors, the self-serve dashboard gives operators instant, objective visibility into brand perception, product feature popularity, and competitive performance.

“A major challenge operators face today is understanding exactly why bettors switch apps,” said Jerome Underhill, Chief Operating Officer at FairPlay Sports Media. “Traditional market research is often too slow, expensive, and disconnected from day-to-day commercial decisions. FairPlay Customer Insights was built as a real-time decision-making engine, providing product teams with clarity on how core features—like their Bet Builder—compare to the competition, while helping media teams pinpoint the triggers that convert transient bonus users into loyal, long-term players.”

The platform updates quarterly to track trends over time and includes ‘flash research’ capabilities, enabling operators to submit custom queries to the panel ahead of major events such as the upcoming World Cup. This feature helps operators de-risk campaign planning with actionable insights.

FairPlay is currently onboarding a select group of operators for a 30-day Phase 1 Proof of Concept, offering company-wide access to validate the platform’s intelligence against operational challenges.
