Being one of the biggest iGaming events of the year, SiGMA Malta brought together over 25000 specialists from all over the world to share innovations, trends, case studies, and data. The international product company Parimatch Tech, a developer of technological and marketing solutions for the entertainment industry, joined the event, bringing its speakers to SiGMA’s program.

On November 17, Parimatch Tech’s CTO Artur Ashyrov and Deputy CTO, VP of Data, and Head of B2B Dmytro Fedyukov along with AWS’ Senior Account Manager Serhii Avramchuk presented a case study of Parimatch Tech’s partnership with AWS. Started 4 years ago, it brought a massive boost to the company’s development capabilities and operations, allowing it to migrate to a more efficient ecosystem and create smart solutions and features that significantly enhanced Parimatch Tech’s B2B product lineup.

“It became possible, in particular, thanks to AWS’ infra as a service. Designing a reliable, multi-AZ, HA infrastructure from scratch is a time- and resource-consuming task. It is always a choice between a longer TTM plus quality product and sacrificing some features for a shorter TTM. As a product-minded company, we couldn’t put up with any of these outcomes. So we opted for a smarter route, which allowed us to significantly reduce TTM without sacrificing the product’s quality,” explained Artur Ashyrov, Parimatch Tech CTO.

Over the years of AWS partnership, Parimatch Tech engineers have developed several features to enhance the flexibility, durability, and entertainment value of the Parimatch platform, such as Environment by Click development framework and a programmatic content recommendation engine. Based on all the innovations,

Parimatch Tech formed its B2B product lineup for the entertainment industry, which includes:

● Parimatch brand franchise – one of the leading international betting brands, known for its bold fiery spirit, a rocking list of partners, and a number of Operator awards, most recent of them being SiGMA 2022’s Sportsbook Operator of the Year.
● Platform – one of the fastest growing in Eastern Europe with millions of active users and the ability to handle millions of bet settlements at peak load during the main sports events without any downtime.
● BAAS (business as a service) – all-in-one solution that includes all the advantages of Parimatch Tech’s platform, industry expertise, and management excellence.

“Considering that eight out of ten sports betting operators do not work on their software, including companies operating in many regions with well-known brands, we felt ready to offer our solutions to third-party operational companies. Using our tech and expertise in the desired volume and relying on our unique set of experience, our partners will be able to quickly power-up and scale their operations,” pointed out Dmytro Fedyukov, Deputy CTO, VP of Data, and Head of B2B at Parimatch Tech.

Sportradar’s iGaming brand leads with bracket-style World Football x2026, plus updates to Virtual Football and Lucky 6.

Playradar, Sportradar’s iGaming brand, has released four football-themed titles ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which begins on June 11. The drop includes two original games and two updated versions of existing products.

The releases are World Football x2026, Virtual Football World Championship 2026, Football Plinko Pro, and Lucky 6: Football edition. Playradar said the games are designed to target different player segments and to connect sports bettors and casino players through content that links both verticals.

The headline launch, World Football x2026, is a bracket-based game using Mines-style mechanics. Players pick outcomes from the Round of 16 and progress through each round to the final; one incorrect prediction ends the game, while a cash-out option is available.

The other launches include Football Plinko Pro, which adapts the plinko format to a football theme; Virtual Football World Championship 2026, which Playradar said runs a 32-team, 64-match World Cup structure with pre-match and in-play markets such as over/under goals and goalscorer; and Lucky 6: Football Edition, a bingo-style title using balls with flags from participating nations.

Edo Haitin, EVP of iGaming said: “The scale of the 2026 World Cup is unprecedented, with the sheer volume of fans entering markets worldwide creating huge demand for football-themed content, and the operators best placed to succeed are those with games that meet every need. These four titles have each been designed with that in mind. The World Cup attracts a huge spectrum of customers, and when taken together, this product stack provides operators with the tools needed to keep them engaged throughout the tournament.”
