QTech Games wins Leader in Online Casino at the 2026 SBEA+ Eventus Awards

Emerging-markets distributor scoops prestigious prize at key East African summit in Kenya

QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for all emerging markets, has won the Leader in Online Casino award at the Annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) 2026 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, fending off strong competition from other leading lights, such as SA Gaming, BetConstruct, and DST Gaming.

This prestigious title is given to the “top all-round online casino platform for innovation, user engagement, and sustained growth” across the judging period of the past year. Accordingly, this sought-after award is perennially given to the best overall platform provider in the African space, and QTech Games again superseded and surpassed an array of proven performers in this category in the eyes of the SBEA+ judging panel.

These SBEA+ Eventus Awards always recognise excellence and advancements in the East African igaming and sports betting sector. And this year was no different, held at a lavish gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel, and celebrating a plethora of pioneers from outstanding operators, through progressive technological innovators and regulatory leaders, and on to distributors with the requisite scope and localised expertise to reliably ensure the provision of the most engaging and varied content for the planet’s second-most populous continent.

More generally, these are some of the most consequential categories of igaming activity, crystallizing the most progressive domains that are shaping the industry’s future across Africa. And the SBEA+ judges found that QTech Games had outperformed its shortlisted rivals in the competitive aggregation-platform arena for the judging period of 2025/26.

QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.

“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”
