Kiron has been named Best Virtual Sports Provider at the SiGMA Africa Awards 2026, held in Cape Town, South Africa. The award recognises the company’s continued leadership in virtual sports innovation and its growing impact across regulated African betting markets.

The win marks another important milestone for Kiron as virtual sports continue to play an increasingly central role in modern betting entertainment. Across Africa, operators are placing greater focus on products that deliver consistency, accessibility, and high frequency engagement across both retail and online channels. Virtual sports have become a key part of that shift, offering players fast paced entertainment experiences that fit naturally into mobile first and on demand betting habits.

Kiron’s portfolio has continued to evolve alongside those changes. The company’s virtual sports offering combines realistic gameplay, localised content, and stable performance across a wide range of operating environments. From football and horse racing to cricket and number games, Kiron’s products are designed to support continuous engagement while maintaining a seamless player experience across retail shops, mobile devices, and online platforms.

The recognition at SiGMA Africa reflects both product quality and long term market presence. Over the past year, Kiron has continued expanding its footprint across the continent through new partnerships, platform integrations, and product enhancements aimed at supporting operator growth in highly competitive markets.

“This award is a strong reflection of the work our teams continue to do across product development, technology, and customer delivery,” said Steven Spartinos, Co-CEO at Kiron Interactive. “Virtual sports have become an important part of the entertainment mix for operators and players across Africa, and we remain focused on building experiences that are engaging, reliable, and relevant to today’s audiences.”

Held in Cape Town, the SiGMA Africa Awards celebrate companies and individuals driving innovation and growth across the gaming and technology industries on the continent. The event brings together operators, suppliers, affiliates, and technology providers from across global and African markets.

Winning Best Virtual Sports Provider reinforces Kiron’s position as one of the industry’s most established virtual sports suppliers and highlights the company’s continued investment in creating entertainment experiences built for the evolving expectations of digital first players.

As player behaviour continues to shift toward faster, more flexible entertainment formats, virtual sports remain one of the sector’s strongest areas of growth. Kiron’s focus remains on delivering content and technology that help operators meet those changing expectations while creating consistent, high quality experiences across every touchpoint.
