Altenar has won Most Innovative Sportsbook Provider at the SiGMA World Awards, with the award recognizing the provider’s investment in sportsbook development and its adaptable technology for operators in regulated markets.
The award also recognizes the ability of the company’s technology to meet the changing needs of operators. Throughout 2026, Altenar’s product development focused on greater flexibility for partners, new ways to engage players and more tools to respond to changes in betting behavior.
According to Altenar, its approach to innovation combines new features with the flexibility to adapt sportsbook functionality to different markets, operator strategies and player preferences.
“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,” said Giannis Papakonstantinou, Product Director at Altenar.
The 2026 releases included the World Cup Lobby, a dedicated soccer experience that brings together match information, statistics, promotional content and outright markets.
The company also introduced new Bet Builder capabilities and made enhancements to its player engagement features. Altenar said these enhancements were designed to improve the betting experience and open new commercial opportunities for its partners.

Further additions included Super Early Payout, which offers players the opportunity to receive early payouts on selected markets, along with Ice Hockey Early Payout for 1X2 markets.
Altenar also continued to develop its Bet Boost and Bet Builder offerings, which help operators create more engaging betting experiences that are tailored to their audiences.
“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,” Papakonstantinou added.
The company said the award reinforces its commitment to continuous product development and to sportsbook technology that enables operators to differentiate their offerings, respond to market demands and pursue sustainable growth.
