The world’s trusted sports betting partner scores hat-trick at EGR B2B Awards after a double victory at the Global Gaming Awards

Kambi, the world’s leading sports betting partner, won a hat-trick of awards at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards 2021 this week, just days after claiming two prizes at the Global Gaming Awards.

Kambi won the EGR awards for both In-play Betting Software and Sports Betting Supplier during a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, with judges praising Kambi for being a “leading US B2B sportsbook with a range of tier one clients and strong revenue growth”.

This was capped off by Kambi winning the headline Sportsbook Platform Supplier category for the third year in a row last night at an in-person ceremony held by EGR, with the judges picking out the power of Kambi’s global network as a key reason for the win.

The three awards come a week after Kambi also secured a double victory at another leading industry awards ceremony, the Global Gaming Awards 2021, where it was named Retail Supplier of the Year and Online Sports Betting Supplier of the Year.

The Global Gaming Awards are powered by B2B gaming publication Gambling Insider and held annually in London.

Both the Global Gaming Awards and EGR B2B Awards are independently adjudicated by KPMG and Deloitte respectively, and judged by experienced and senior industry executives.

Sarah Robertson, Kambi’s VP Sales, said: “Kambi’s focus is to provide our partners with the technology they need to become the sportsbook they want to be, and as the world’s leading sports betting supplier, we know what it takes to ensure they consistently give their players the best sports betting experiences possible.

“After a challenging year for many of us in this industry, we are proud that the success we have delivered for our partners and the hard work of all our employees during the judging period has been recognised with these prestigious award wins.

“Kambi only succeeds when our partners succeed, and I would like to thank all of our partners for making this possible, as well as the judges for this recognition and EGR and Gambling Insider for hosting excellent events.”

First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.

Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.

The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.

The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.

“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.

Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.

Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.

The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.

According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.

“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”

“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”
