Kaizen Gaming, one of the world’s biggest GameTech companies and owner of the Betano online sports betting and gaming brand, has been crowned “Operator of the Year – Large” for a second year running, and “Sportsbook Operator of the Year” at the prestigious SBC Awards 2025 held in Lisbon on Thursday 18th September.

Securing the “Operator of the Year – Large” award for a second consecutive year underscores Kaizen Gaming’s ongoing progress and innovation, while reinforcing its unwavering commitment to responsible gaming in regulated markets. This recognition reflects not only the commitment to a superior customer experience, but also commends the company’s focus on corporate social responsibility and excellence in securing landmark sponsorships with leagues, top-tier clubs and athletes worldwide, including FC Bayern München, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, Club Atlético River Plate, and the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ for South America and Europe.

Additionally, Kaizen Gaming won the “Sportsbook Operator of the Year” award, highlighting Betano’s position as the top online betting brand and the fans’ online betting platform of choice across a series of European and South American markets.

Julio Iglesias Hernando, Chief Commercial Officer, Kaizen Gaming, said: “Being selected as Operator of the Year once again is a great honour and a reflection of the passion and commitment of our ‘One Team’, striving to deliver the most innovative, trusted, and exciting gaming experiences to our customers worldwide. Over the past 12 months, we have achieved important milestones, including new market entries, cutting-edge features enhancing our platform and landmark partnerships with top tier sports teams and federations. The ‘Sportsbook Operator of the Year Award’ is also very special for us, as the love for the world of sports is deeply rooted into our identity. Now we celebrate, but we remain focused on ensuring we continue delivering for our customers and we keep competing among the top of our industry.”

Now in their twelfth year of recognising and celebrating the very best in the betting & gaming industry, the coveted SBC Awards acknowledge the achievements of operators, affiliates, as well as suppliers from across all the major disciplines, including payments, marketing, platform providers, and data.

Hello there! Adrienn here. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
