VeliGames takes home the Industry Rising Star Award at SiGMA Africa
SiGMA awards recognised the platform’s rapid innovation and real-world impact across African iGaming.
VeliGames, a game aggregation platform by VeliTech, has been named Industry Rising Star at the SiGMA Africa 2026 Awards, recognising the platform’s rapid innovation and real-world impact across African iGaming.
The Industry Rising Star award spotlights an emerging company that’s showing exceptional promise, innovation, and impact, quickly establishing itself as a future leader in the iGaming industry. It highlights the VeliGames commitment to delivering more than just a content pipeline, but a pure innovation and a complete growth engine for operators in emerging markets.
Irakli Kakhidze, CEO at VeliGames, said: “Winning the SiGMA Africa Award for Industry Rising Star 2026 is a proud moment for our team. From day one, we built VeliGames with African operators in mind, combining local-fit content, practical tooling, and pricing that makes sense on the ground. We back it all up with hands-on operational know-how from working in the region. That’s what being a true content partner looks like.”
Built specifically for Africa’s infrastructure realities, device profiles, and player behaviour, VeliGames delivers a performance-first casino content layer designed to succeed where traditional, high-bandwidth aggregation models fall short. Instead of competing on catalogue size alone, VeliGames focuses on what truly drives casino success in Africa: speed, accessibility, conversion, and session stability.
The platform brings content in an ultra-lightweight, mobile-first environment engineered to perform reliably under fluctuating connectivity, limited device storage, and short-session play patterns, helping operators maintain smooth gameplay and stronger player experiences at scale.
Alongside curated third-party titles, the platform includes exclusive in-house content:
- VeliPlay: bold, crash-and-fast titles built for immersion, retention, and high replay value
- Heaven of 7: high-impact slot content designed for strong engagement, session after session
