Raphie shortlisted for 'Rising Star' at the SBC Awards 2026

We're proud to share that Raphie has been shortlisted for the Rising Star in Sports Betting Innovation / Software category at the SBC Awards 2026. It's a category built to recognise emerging suppliers behind genuinely creative innovation in sports betting software – companies whose products stand out for their commercial impact and the tangible difference they make to the betting experience. Being named alongside some of the sharpest software innovators in the space is a meaningful achievement of how far the platform has come.

The SBC Awards will take place at the MEO Arena in Lisbon on Thursday 1st October 2026, the final day of SBC Summit. The ceremony brings together senior leaders from across the betting and gaming industry for what's widely regarded as one of the sector's biggest nights.

The evening will be hosted by broadcaster Kirsty Gallagher and football legend John Terry, presenting across what's shaping up to be one of the most competitive awards fields the show has seen.

Why this recognition matters

The Rising Star category looks for evidence of real business traction and measurable impact on the sports betting experience. For us, that's the story of an AI platform built on top of years of running player support operations ourselves. Being shortlisted is a reflection of that approach resonating with an industry that's asking harder questions about what "AI support" really means for iGaming operators.
