Altenar has been named Most Innovative Sportsbook Provider at the SiGMA World Awards, recognising the company’s ongoing investment in sportsbook development and its ability to deliver adaptable technology that meets the evolving needs of operators across regulated markets.
The award reflects a year of product development focused on giving operators greater flexibility, new ways to engage players and more tools to respond to changing betting behaviours.
Throughout 2026, Altenar introduced a range of sportsbook enhancements designed to improve the betting experience and expand commercial opportunities for its partners. These included the launch of the World Cup Lobby, bringing together match information, statistics, promotional content and outright markets in a dedicated football experience, alongside new Bet Builder capabilities and enhancements to player engagement features.
Further developments included Super Early Payout, giving players the opportunity to receive early payouts on selected markets, and the introduction of Ice Hockey Early Payout for 1X2 markets. Altenar also continued to develop its Bet Boost and Bet Builder offerings, helping operators create more engaging betting experiences tailored to their audiences.
These updates form part of Altenar’s broader approach to innovation: combining new features with the flexibility to adapt sportsbook functionality to different markets, operator strategies and player preferences.
Giannis Papakonstantinou, Product Director at Altenar, commented:
Innovation in sportsbook technology is about more than introducing new features. It is about understanding what operators need to compete in their markets and turning those needs into practical solutions that create value for both operators and their players.
This year, we have focused on expanding the capabilities of our sportsbook, from new ways to present major sporting events to enhancements in Bet Builder, early payouts and player engagement. Winning this award is a great recognition of the work our product team is doing to keep our technology evolving while maintaining the flexibility and stability our partners rely on.
The award reinforces Altenar’s commitment to continuous product development, delivering sportsbook technology that enables operators to differentiate their offerings, respond to market demands and pursue sustainable growth.
