  • Real-time payment provider nominated for safer gambling and innovation accolades

  • London-based company was awarded government grant to develop unique responsible gambling solution

London, April 29, 2025 – Real-time payment provider Yaspa has been shortlisted for two prestigious gambling industry awards.

The London-based company is named among the nominees for Innovation in Payments Solutions and Safer Gambling Software Supplier at the forthcoming EGR B2B Awards.

Now in their 16th year, the EGR B2B Awards are known for recognising excellence in service providers in the gambling industry, rewarding those truly leading the way in innovation, reliability and client service. The winners will be announced at a ceremony at the Roundhouse in London on July 3.

Yaspa enables smooth, simple and secure instant payments through open banking for a range of partners. It works with online and offline gambling industry businesses, including Playbook Engineering, Novibet, NetBet, Casino Lugano and White Hat Gaming.

In 2024 Yaspa was awarded an Innovate UK grant to continue to develop its Intelligent Payments solution – a unique B2B platform that combines open banking technology and AI to help gambling operators identify vulnerable players in a frictionless manner. It is designed to empower businesses by combining Pay by Bank transactions, AI-powered verification, and real-time risk assessment into a seamless, secure experience.

In the gambling sector, Yaspa is able to help operators support responsible gambling with access to player transaction data at the point of deposit, delivering real-time user insights for a significantly broader and more accurate picture of a player’s pan-operator activity and financial health.

Yaspa CEO James Neville said: “The EGR awards are regarded as the pinnacle of B2B igaming ceremonies and for Yaspa to be nominated is great recognition for our team’s hard work and dedication to innovation.

“Our Intelligent Payments solution is a truly unique proposition and it’s wonderful to see that its potential to have a profound impact as a responsible gambling tool has been recognised.

“We are very proud to be shortlisted alongside some of the biggest names in the gambling and payments industries and we are very much looking forward to the awards night.”

BetConstruct has been recognised at the SiGMA Central Europe Awards 2025, receiving the Innovative Sportsbook Solution of the Year award. This achievement highlights the company’s continued focus on elevating retail betting experiences and supporting operators with solutions that create measurable business value.

This recognition is based on the impact of Loya: The Ultimate Loyalty Solution for Retail Betting, integrated into the BetConstruct Land-Based Solution. Loya responds to a longstanding challenge in retail operations: how to build lasting player engagement while maintaining a smooth and efficient shop experience.

It is the industry’s first platform designed to build a rewards programme without requiring complex player registration, delivering Anonymous Loyalty for retail betting. This approach preserves the familiar walk-in experience while enabling operators to encourage repeat visits and develop consistent customer relationships in a seamless manner.

From the player’s perspective, the Loya mobile application provides a clear and straightforward personal journey. Players can track their points, view their status, and work towards rewards that reflect their activity. Points may be earned through betting activity and operator-led campaigns. The integrated Loya Shop allows points to be redeemed for merchandise or betting-related benefits, supporting repeated participation and ongoing engagement.

Loya’s centralised back-office serves as the operational command centre. Operators can design loyalty structures aligned with their business goals, create custom programme tiers, and define how rewards are earned and distributed. Targeted campaigns may be launched to drive activity around selected sports, key events, or high-margin markets. The analytics dashboard provides insight into player behaviour, supporting data-driven decision-making and efficient long-term planning.

This award reflects the successful collaboration between BetConstruct teams and partners, resulting in the development and implementation of Loya. Loya strengthens the foundation of BetConstruct’s retail betting offering and demonstrates a commitment to practical innovation that supports sustainable business growth.
