VeliGames, the game aggregation platform developed by VeliTech, has been awarded Industry Rising Star at the SiGMA Africa 2026 Awards, recognising the platform’s rapid growth and innovative approach to supporting operators across African iGaming markets.
The award highlights emerging companies demonstrating strong innovation, impact and future leadership potential within the industry. VeliGames was recognised for its approach to building a performance-driven aggregation platform tailored specifically for emerging markets.
Rather than operating purely as a content distribution layer, VeliGames positions itself as a growth-focused platform designed to help operators scale their casino offerings effectively in Africa. 
Designed for African Market Conditions
VeliGames has been developed with the technical and behavioural realities of African markets in mind, including varying connectivity conditions, device limitations and short-session gameplay patterns.
The platform delivers a lightweight, mobile-first casino content environment, engineered to perform efficiently in lower-bandwidth environments while maintaining reliable gameplay performance.
This approach aims to help operators improve conversion rates, session stability and player retention, particularly in markets where traditional high-bandwidth aggregation models can struggle.
Content Portfolio and Proprietary Titles
Alongside curated third-party games, the platform also features exclusive in-house content developed by VeliTech.
These include:
- VeliPlay, a collection of crash and fast-paced titles designed to deliver high engagement and replay value
- Heaven of 7, a slot portfolio focused on strong session performance and player retention
By combining proprietary content with external game studios, VeliGames aims to offer operators a balanced and scalable content ecosystem suited to local player preferences.
CEO Commentary
Irakli Kakhidze, CEO at VeliGames, said the award reflects the company’s commitment to supporting operators across the region.
“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.”
SiGMA Africa Showcase
VeliTech will be present at SiGMA Africa 2026 from March 3–5, where attendees can visit Stand 096 to explore the VeliGames platform, watch live game demonstrations and experience its performance features designed for African markets.
The company will also showcase how operators can use the platform to build scalable iGaming brands tailored to local player needs.
