Black Cow Technology Shortlisted for SBC Europe’s Rising Star Award

Black Cow Technology has been shortlisted at the prestigious SBC Europe Awards 2025 in the category of Rising Star (Supplier).
The nomination comes after Black Cow has made a name for itself through its Single Player RGS, which was built from scratch to provide flexibility, transparency and full partner control.
This technology is used by some of the biggest names in the business, including several Tier 1 operators and trusted industry players.
Powerful and proven, it’s been in the market for more than eight years, giving Black Cow a foundation of enterprise trust, technical reliability and product-market fit.
Now, leveraging this solid foundation, Black Cow is being recognised for its next major innovation: their Multiplayer Remote Game Server (RGS).
Black Cow’s Multiplayer RGS is the only fully event-driven, multiplayer-ready game framework enabling any real-time, player-to-player interaction across any game mechanic or mode.
It empowers operators and suppliers with the same autonomy and adaptability they have come to expect from its Single Player RGS, only now for Multiplayer.
This has only been possible because of the depth of experience within the Black Cow team, and by having proven, advanced technologies already in the market.
Max Francis, CEO and Founder at Black Cow Technology, said: “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our successes through our technology than by being nominated for an SBC Europe Award.
“Our Multiplayer RGS is the only truly transactional multiplayer solution on the market. It’s not just about what it does today; it’s also about what it enables for the future of iGaming.”
“I am incredibly proud of the team and the work they have done to bring this to the market, and it’s great for their efforts to be recognised with the award nomination.
“Rising Star is always a hotly contested category, so here’s hoping we can take home the trophy on the night.”

ProgressPlay Shortlisted for SBC Awards Europe 2025

The iGaming industry thrives on constant innovation, where yesterday’s breakthroughs quickly become today’s baseline. In this fast-moving landscape, ProgressPlay has firmly positioned itself at the forefront, earning a prestigious shortlist spot for “Industry Innovation of the Year” at the SBC Awards Europe 2025.
This isn’t just another nomination; it’s the culmination of years of challenging conventions, rewriting playbooks, and delivering technology that doesn’t just keep up with the industry; it propels it forward.
The story behind this recognition begins with a simple but radical idea: what if operators weren’t constrained by their platform? While many providers offered rigid solutions, ProgressPlay bet on flexibility, building a standalone system that hands operators the keys to their own destiny; customisable branding, agile market entry, and tools to adapt to regulations in real time.
The industry took notice. From the moment the platform launched, partners reported 40% faster deployment in new regions and unprecedented control over player experiences, proving that innovation isn’t about flashy features, but real-world empowerment.
But the SBC nomination speaks to something deeper: impact. This year, ProgressPlay’s technology became the backbone for operators navigating Europe, Latin America and Asia’s most complex markets. Meanwhile, the multi-brand deployment toolkit turned what was once a logistical nightmare into a seamless process, letting partners launch tailored experiences for diverse audiences, all from a single, unified system.
Marina Nahhas, Head of B2B Sales and Marketing, explains: “What sets this nomination apart is its timing. The iGaming industry stands at a crossroads, where scaling responsibly is no longer optional. ProgressPlay’s recognition by SBC underscores that the future belongs to platforms that marry innovation with integrity, where cutting-edge tech serves not just profits, but sustainability.”
Whether it’s real-time fraud detection, slashing chargebacks or localised payment integrations boosting conversion, every breakthrough has been measured by one metric: operator success.
At the heart of ProgressPlay’s standalone technology is its unparalleled flexibility. Unlike traditional white-label offerings, this standalone platform is a true turnkey solution, allowing operators to craft their own brand identity, select their preferred gaming content, and integrate the most effective payment methods suited to their target audience.
With full autonomy over the gaming portfolio, operators can curate a mix of casino games, live dealer experiences, and sportsbook markets tailored to the preferences of players in their chosen markets. This ability to fine-tune every aspect of the standalone platform ensures that businesses remain ahead of the curve, delivering experiences that resonate deeply with local players while maintaining a globally competitive edge.
ProgressPlay CEO Itai Lowenstein said: “As the awards night approaches, this shortlist is more than a milestone, it’s validation for every partner who took a chance on reimagining what an iGaming platform could be. For the ProgressPlay team, it’s a reminder that the boldest ideas often start as whispers before they become benchmarks.”
