Best AI Solution 2026
Blask Crowned Best AI Solution at SiGMA Eurasia Awards 2026
Blask, a market intelligence ecosystem powered by AI for the iGaming sector, has been awarded Best AI Solution 2026 at the SiGMA Eurasia Awards, which took place yesterday in Dubai.
The accolade honors Blask for utilizing artificial intelligence to address a persistent issue in iGaming: the absence of dependable, prompt, and comparable market data in both regulated and offshore markets. Blask provides hourly updated AI-generated market intelligence instead of depending on slow reports and surveys.
The platform integrates computer vision, natural language processing, and predictive modeling to autonomously identify iGaming brands globally, assess market size and revenue potential, and monitor competitive trends in almost real-time.
Operators, affiliates, game providers, regulators, and investors utilize its exclusive metrics, such as the Blask Index, BAP, APS, and CEB, to aid in making strategic and operational choices.
“This award is a strong validation of the approach we’ve taken from day one,” said Max Tesla, co-founder and CEO of Blask. “We didn’t want to build another analytics dashboard. We wanted to build AI infrastructure that shows what’s really happening in the market, especially in places where data simply doesn’t exist.”
The SiGMA Eurasia win marks Blask’s fifth major industry award. Previous recognitions include Best Tech at the iGB Affiliate Awards 2025, Rising Star in Casino Innovation at the SBC Awards, Startup of the Year at the Starlet Awards, and SiGMA Asia Startup Pitch 2024.
