OKTO bags three prestigious nominations in SBC Awards

OKTO, has confirmed its status as the gaming industry’s leading digital payment solutions provider, having been nominated in three Payments Categories in this year’s SBC Awards. The fintech brand, which has established a reputation for delivering a safe, transparent, seamless, and trouble-free customer journey thanks to the OKTO.WALLET, has been shortlisted in three of SBC’s key categories comprising Payment Solution of the Year, Mobile Payment Solutions of the Year and the prestigious Payments Innovation of the Year.
Simon Dorsen, Chief Commercial Officer at OKTO said: “The entire team at OKTO is proud to have been nominated in three Payments categories. The SBC Awards are among the most prestigious in gaming and recognise those organisations that continue to bring innovative solutions to the sector. The gaming industry wants to work with a partner who is fully committed to the sector and has the financial capabilities to be able to make the investment required to provide a solution for the long term. In this respect, I believe that we are well on the way to establishing the OKTO brand as the industry’s preferred cashless payments app.
He added: “OKTO views Innovation as a culture and not a process which is why we employ people who are curious and humble, who never stop experimenting and exploring ways in which we can improve the experience. The team is made-up of gaming insiders, a factor that means we bring specialist in-depth knowledge delivered by people who are passionate about gaming and its demands. Working alongside our partners the starting point we employ is to always ask why not? rather than why which guarantees that our business is always curious and never complacent.”
The OKTO.WALLET is being demonstrated on Blueprint, GeWeTe, Novomatic and Inspired gaming machines at the ACOS show taking place on the 20th/21st October in London.
The winners will be announced on 14th December at Evolution London.

BETER, the in-demand provider of fast-betting content, data, and odds for esports and sports, has been awarded Esports Betting Supplier at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards 2025.
It is the first time BETER has received this award, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey and reflecting the growing demand for its fast-paced esports products.
The EGR B2B Awards celebrate the companies powering the global iGaming industry, recognizing excellence and rewarding those leading in innovation, reliability, and client service.
BETER’s esports offering features the fan-favorite ESportsBattle tournaments, providing non-stop betting action across popular disciplines such as eFootball, eBasketball, and eHockey, with eTennis set to become available to all partners soon. It means bettors can wager on approximately 500,000 matches annually, with up to 50 markets per event, while operators benefit from an average margin of 7.5%.
In addition, BETER provides a comprehensive Esports Odds Feed, delivering market-leading odds for over 40,000 pre-match and live events per year. These odds are calculated using official data and compiled by a team of expert traders.
With a team of over 130 esports traders, BETER ensures that players across all partner operators can place bets on the provider’s events with more than 90% uptime.
All ESportsBattle`s matches come with 24/7 live streaming, real-time data and odds, and are closely monitored by BETER’s in-house Integrity team to ensure strict adherence to fair play standards. As a result, only 0.01% of matches have been flagged as suspicious in the past 12 months.
Gal Ehrlich, CEO of BETER, said: “We are incredibly proud of the entire BETER team for the hard work that led to this achievement.
“Their tireless efforts to deliver best-in-class esports products for the next generation of bettors have paid off—not just in winning this award, but in delivering a top-tier product and experience to our partners and their players, consistently exceeding expectations.
“This award rounds off an incredible six months for BETER, and we head into the second half of the year with strong momentum behind us.”
Adam Conway, General Manager of Esports Business Division at BETER, added: “Our esports betting products are unmatched—led, of course, by our ESportsBattle tournaments.
“These tournaments truly set the standard for what a fast-betting esports experience should be, and we’re thrilled to see that recognized by the EGR B2B Awards judges.
“Our Esports Odds Feed is equally impressive and has become an essential tool for operators looking to offer the best accurate odds in the industry.
“I’d like to thank the entire BETER team for their dedication and to EGR for this recognition. We couldn’t be happier to add our first EGR B2B Award to the trophy shelf.”
