1win nominated in two categories at SiGMA Awards Africa 2026

(PRESS RELEASE) -- 1win has been shortlisted in two key categories at the SiGMA Awards Africa 2026: Best Casino Operator 2026 and Best Sportsbook Operator 2026.

The nominations highlight the brand’s growing presence across African markets and recognize its consistent focus on product quality, operational stability, and long-term regional investment.

Why This Matters for the Region

Africa remains one of the fastest-growing iGaming markets globally, driven by mobile adoption, evolving payment infrastructure, and a new generation of digital-first players. For 1win, the region is not a short-term opportunity but a strategic priority.

Being nominated in both casino and sportsbook categories reflects the depth of the company’s ecosystem. It also reinforces the importance of building scalable, transparent, and locally adapted platforms that respond to the needs of players across diverse African markets.

In 2024, 1win was awarded Best Sportsbook Operator at the SiGMA Awards — a milestone that marked the beginning of a new phase of regional expansion. The 2026 nominations further confirm the brand’s sustained momentum.

Strategic Focus on Africa

Over the past year, 1win has strengthened its position in Africa by:

- Expanding localized payment solutions to improve accessibility and transaction stability
- Scaling mobile-first products optimized for regional traffic patterns
- Strengthening responsible gaming standards and operational compliance frameworks

Africa plays a key role in 1win’s global roadmap. The company brings proven international expertise and a sustainable operational model while adapting to local market dynamics. The focus is on long-term presence, strong partnerships, and consistent product development.

“Being nominated in two categories at SiGMA Awards Africa is an important recognition of our team’s work in the region. We are committed to combining global expertise with strong local partnerships to build a stable, scalable ecosystem for players and affiliates alike. Our goal is sustainable development, not short-term expansion,” — said a representative of 1win.
