Betsson Group Affiliates to sponsor AffPapa iGaming Awards

Betsson Group Affiliates has made it to the list of the AffPapa iGaming Awards as a Silver Sponsor.

The partnership continues a close collaboration between AffPapa and the iGaming operator, after they renewed their year-long contract at the beginning of this year. The operator has closed several deals through AffPapa, and the workflow has been really seamless.

Shakyra Johnsson, Senior Affiliate Operations Manager at BGA, commented:

“Betsson Group Affiliates has been working closely with Affpapa since 2020 and we are very satisfied with the results of this partnership. As an operator and affiliate programme that is constantly striving for excellence, we are extremely proud to be sponsoring this year’s AffPapa iGaming Awards and wish all nominees the best of luck!”

The first-ever AffPapa iGaming Awards will soon mark its debut with the voting process starting on May 23rd. Numerous prominent brands have joined AffPapa in honoring the industry’s top performers and showcasing their brand to as many potential clients and partners as possible.

Yeva Avagyan, Head of Commercials at AffPapa, stated:

“We’re looking forward to continuing our close working relationship with the BGA team and building on what we’ve already established. Betsson Group Affiliates’ decision to work with us again reflects AffPapa’s continued efforts and the value it delivers to its partners. We’re pleased that our first Awards received such an excellent reaction, and that so many amazing brands, such as BGA, have joined us.”

The Awards will be followed by an exclusive event – iGaming Club – on July 5th in Amsterdam, with plenty of networking opportunities.

Blask wins Best Tech at iGB Affiliate Awards 2025

Blask, the data-driven analytics ecosystem transforming iGaming oversight, has been named ‘Best Tech’ at the prestigious iGB Affiliate Awards 2025 in London.

The win underscores the platform’s transition from a promising startup into an industry mainstay.

Launched publicly in May 2024, Blask has already secured two major accolades: SiGMA Asia Startup Pitch 2024 and Startup of the Year at the Starlet Awards, making this the third milestone in its brief yet impressive journey.

“Winning this award proves that Blask has outgrown its startup roots and become a data-first iGaming institution,” said Max Tesla, CEO and co‑founder. “We’re continuing to build out the platform, and with the recent launch of Blask Games, we now offer Game Visibility Rank across casino titles. No guesswork, just transparent, repeatable insights.”

Blask is now used by some of the biggest operators, affiliates and suppliers in the iGaming industry, providing real-time, data-driven market intelligence as well as a competitive edge in more than 60 markets worldwide.

The platform is regularly updated with new features and functionality.

Last month Blask Games was added, giving operators, affiliates, and analysts access to granular intelligence around game placement within casino lobbies.
