BetGames.TV smashes its record for SBC Awards with seven nominations
Live dealer betting supplier proves itself a winning fixture
BetGames.TV, the leading live dealer betting games supplier, has claimed itself as one of the few industry suppliers to have netted seven nominations at the SBC Awards.
The annual SBC Awards, one of the most prestigious in the industry, recognises the companies that have demonstrated strong commercial success and business-changing innovations over the past year.
Outmatching its own record of five at 2019’s SBC Awards, as well winning in the ‘Rising Star in Casino Innovation’ award, the company has continued to prove itself to be one of the industry’s most in-demand suppliers following the cancellation of live sport.
Nominated for Leader of the year, Land-Based Betting & Gaming Product, Live Casino Supplier, Live Streaming Supplier, Multi-Channel Supplier, Innovation in Casino Entertainment and Innovation in Mobile, BetGames.TV’s pioneering work reflects its ability to offer a combination of low-spend and extended playing sessions for players, as well as far greater margins than its competitors.
Commenting on the seven SBC Award nominations, Richard Hogg, CCO at BetGames.TV said:
“As the global lockdown began in March, we went into overdrive to make sure our retail-dependent partners in across Africa and LatAm were ready to weather the storm with a host of online products that could migrate their customers.
“Priority number one was to take our winning formula and make sure newly migrated players from sports and poker felt welcome. I’m delighted with the amazing work our global teams have put into making sure we’ve been able to be a true friend to our industry partners when they’ve needed it most.”
With more than 70 operator deals signed this year, including Betway, Amelco and SBTech, BetGames.TV’s 10-strong catalogue of unique, in-house games are now live online across 2,000 sites online, as well as 4,000 retail locations globally.
The company has established itself as one of the industry’s most regulated live dealer and betting games suppliers, with licences held across the UK, Malta, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, South Africa and Colombia.

VeliGames, a game aggregation platform from VeliTech, has received the Industry Rising Star award at the SiGMA Africa 2026 Awards, highlighting the platform’s swift innovation and significant influence on African iGaming.
The Industry Rising Star award highlights a developing company that displays remarkable potential, creativity, and influence, rapidly positioning itself as a forthcoming leader in the iGaming sector. It emphasizes VeliGames’ dedication to providing not just a content pipeline, but also genuine innovation and a comprehensive growth engine for operators in developing markets.
“Winning the SiGMA Africa Award for Industry Rising Star 2026 is a proud moment for our team. From day one, we built VeliGames with African operators in mind, combining local-fit content, practical tooling, and pricing that makes sense on the ground. We back it all up with hands-on operational know-how from working in the region. That’s what being a true content partner looks like.” Irakli Kakhidze, CEO at VeliGames.
Tailored for Africa’s infrastructure challenges, device characteristics, and user habits, VeliGames provides a performance-oriented casino content layer aimed at thriving in areas where conventional, high-bandwidth aggregation methods struggle. Rather than solely competing based on catalogue size, VeliGames prioritizes the key factors that genuinely contribute to casino success in Africa: speed, accessibility, conversion, and session stability.
The platform delivers content in a highly efficient, mobile-centric setting designed to function dependably amid variable connectivity, restricted device storage, and brief gaming sessions, assisting operators in ensuring seamless gameplay and enhanced player experiences on a larger scale.
Alongside curated third-party titles, the platform includes exclusive in-house content:
- VeliPlay: bold, crash-and-fast titles built for immersion, retention, and high replay value
- Heaven of 7: high-impact slot content designed for strong engagement, session after session

AGS has won two awards at the Eilers & Krejcik (EKG) Slot Awards, held at Palms Resort Casino on February 26. The Company was honored by industry experts with being awarded Most Improved Supplier – Core 2025 and Top Performing New Online Table Game 2025 for Blackjack Single Deck.
This is the third time in EKG Slot Awards history that AGS has won Most Improved Supplier – Core, and the second year ASG Interactive received an award in the real-money online gaming category.
“We are thrilled to be recognized by the experts for the innovation that everyone at AGS works tirelessly to deliver to our customers and players. Receiving these awards is a testament to the strength of our land-based slot content and expansive online portfolio, which now incorporates table games,” said Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and GM of Slots at AGS.
Every month, AGS’ Core cabinets and slot titles appear in the Eilers & Krejcik Gaming Casino Games Report, reinforcing the strength behind the Company’s Most Improved Supplier – Core award. Their consistently high-performing products continue to stand out across the industry, earning praise from players and operators for their engaging designs, familiarity, and proven performance.
AGS entered the online table game market in 2024 with the launch of War, and after seeing strong results, AGS Interactive (AGSi) expanded the portfolio with a suite of blackjack titles, including Blackjack Single Deck, Blackjack Double Deck, and Blackjack Side Bets. The innovative addition of Blackjack Single Deck brings the excitement of AGS’ proprietary land‑based traditional felt side bets – such as InBet, Jack‑A‑Tack, Hole Card Bonus, and Trifecta Blackjack – into an online‑friendly experience. This convergence of land‑based innovation with simplified digital gameplay sets Blackjack Single Deck apart in the real‑money online table‑game category.
The EKG Slot Awards are produced by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming and recognize excellence in slot game development in the casino gaming industry.
