These SBEA+ Eventus Awards always recognise excellence and advancements in the East African igaming and sports betting sector. And this year was no different, 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.

QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall digital casino 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.

“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our offering represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We’ve made our name as the go-to aggregator for emerging markets and we remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond.”

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.”
