Continent 8 Technologies adds Cloudflare to its leading Cloud Connect solution
The go-to infrastructure provider for the global online gambling industry expands its product suite, offering customers connectivity to Cloudflare
Continent 8 Technologies, the award-winning provider of managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and security solutions to the global online gambling industry, has strengthened its private Cloud Connect solution via a partnership with Cloudflare.
Now, via Cloud Connect, customers can benefit from a direct, private and secure connection between Continent 8 infrastructure and cloud service provider, Cloudflare.
Cloud Connect is a leading solution that allows operators and suppliers to benefit from a secure connection via Continent 8’s private MPLS global backbone. This reduces the public attack surface and provides the highest level of reachability at the shortest “hop” between infrastructure and cloud services.
Continent 8 launched its Cloud Connect private connectivity offering more than six years ago and now provides its customers with fast, secure and resilient access to Cloudflare, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure.
Justin Cosnett, Chief Product Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “Growing our product suite by partnering with Cloudflare enables both of us to offer customers the most secure, fast and efficient connectivity.
“It is partnerships such as this that have allowed Continent 8 to become the go-to infrastructure and cloud provider for operators and suppliers in the global online gambling industry, providing a one-stop-shop for customer needs.”
Over the past 25+ years, Continent 8 has earned an unrivalled reputation for reliable infrastructure and connectivity, innovating, developing, and providing services to support the most demanding online requirements. The addition of Cloudflare is a testament to this, expanding its Connect portfolio offering.
Edward O’Connor, Chief Technology Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, added: “Working together, Cloudflare and Continent 8 network architecture teams were able to utilise both our large global networks to identify key points of presence (POPs) where we can interface and exchange private routes for use by our customers, expanding our Cloud Connect capability.
“This is a powerful partnership between two leaders in the infrastructure space and one that allows Continent 8 to bring tremendous added value to its customers.”

Soft2Bet Secures Two Top Honors at International Gaming and Global Gaming Events, ICE Barcelona 2026
Soft2Bet, a prominent provider of iGaming platforms and solutions, received two accolades at the International Gaming Awards and Global Gaming Awards, claiming Platform Provider of the Year 2026 at the Global Gaming Awards EMEA and Innovator of the Year at The International Gaming Awards 2026.
The acknowledgment stems from a solid track record of performance in both product and core platform functions, with Soft2Bet dedicated to creating innovative solutions that provide partners with wider options, increased scale, and enhanced operational control in casino and sportsbook, alongside significant localization possibilities and flexible gamification choices.
In the past year, Soft2Bet has bolstered its platform ecosystem by incorporating over 9,500 new casino titles and improving essential platform features to ensure consistent large-scale performance, maintaining over 1 million pre-match events and 800,000 live events each year.
Fueled by the acclaimed product MEGA (Motivational Engineering Gaming Application), Soft2Bet’s API-driven, independent offering provides a data-centric gamification layer that facilitates exceptionally tailored and localized player experiences. Through modular mechanics and instant optimization, MEGA aids partners in enhancing engagement, retention, and acquisition in both casino and sportsbook sectors.
Innovation also encompassed new brand experiences, such as the newly introduced in-platform MEGA 11 (football manager) gamification engine for Soft2Bet’s premier brands, Betinia and CampoBet, after the recent selection of Diego Simeone as the ambassador for both brands. Like iconic football managers in reality, players advance from Beginner to Legend by managing star teams and engaging in direct matchups in fantasy games, earning localized rewards and tailored experiences.
Andrew Cochrane, CCO at Soft2Bet, said: “These awards reflect the commitment and dedication of our entire team. This year, we will continue to focus on delivering high quality products. Because we know exactly how to establish high-performance brands from the start, this year is all about delivering the kind of cutting-edge solutions that keep our partners ahead of the curve in a crowded iGaming landscape”
These two awards mark a strong start to 2026 and reflect Soft2Bet’s progress over the past year, from platform expansion and product growth to a stronger gamification offering. As a market leader, Soft2Bet is committed to redefining the industry standard by delivering high-impact, player-centric innovations that drive engagement and set new benchmarks for the global gaming ecosystem.

QTech Games rolls out more fast-paced content from Yoriginal Games
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for all emerging markets, has signed its latest supplier partnership with global B2B content developer and provider Yoriginal Games, enabling its platform customers to access the supplier’s expansive slots catalogue.
Yoriginal’s popular titles are crafted for the new wave in igaming: short-session players, mobile-first users, and operators who want real GGR performance. These eclectic games are also recognised for their player-retention features and sticky mechanics, and draw from Yoriginal Games’ deeper well of crash, scratch, slot and more traditional table-games content.
These games are light and lightning-fast to load, providing a ready solution to overcoming local obstacles to engagement in emerging markets, like Africa and LatAm, such as handset quality limitations, restricted access to fast networks, and high data costs.
This breakthrough announcement with QTech now affords the supplier unprecedented international reach across more emerging markets. In turn, incorporating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop, which has fast become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.
As the fastest-growing aggregator over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
QTech Games CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We’re committed to rolling out more and more high-class content and product innovation that drives revenue for our partners. So, this deal with Yoriginal Games extends our impressive sequential pipeline for 2026 – and showcases our flexible array of content which solves for fine-grained, local requirements in countries where light, rapid-load games are a must. Their games are sleek and modern in design, backed by robust analytics to drive higher engagement and prolonged dwell-time.”
Kirill Bykov, CEO at Yoriginal Games, added: “At Yoriginal Games, we specialize in fast-paced, original casino games that bring instant excitement and big wins, crash, mines, dice, limbo, plinko, keno, blackjack, roulette and more. And while we’ve initially specialised in fast games, we also offer our premium aggregator partners, like QTech, access to our signature YOpen RGS program for developers, whereby QTech can benefit from even more of our partner slots content this year, above all in the domain of localised games.
“QTech’s platform is a gateway to global audiences, and we can’t wait to see how our highly engaging games perform across a largely greenfield landscape of emerging markets for Yoriginal.”
