September 1, 2026 – Kanggiten has been shortlisted in 2 categories at the 2026 European iGaming Excellence Awards (EiGE Awards), the HIPTHER program that runs alongside the HIPTHER Warsaw Summit. Shortlists were decided by public vote, which closed on August 31. Winners are announced on October 27 in Warsaw.
The 2 nominations are:
- Best eSports Betting Provider
- Best Payment Provider
Operators often have to buy esports betting and payments from two separate vendors. On Kanggiten both run inside the same platform, which removes a second integration and a second support chain.
The esports category points at the sportsbook, which runs on DATA.BET. It carries 100+ categories and 3,000+ markets and pushes through 100,000+ events a month. Market uptime holds above 90%. Bet delay is 1 second, with a trading team on the book around the clock.
Payments is the layer underneath every deposit and withdrawal, connecting 300+ methods across 100+ countries in 36 languages. Most of the work there is invisible to the player. It goes into approval rates and into the scenarios that fire after a decline, which is where operators lose deposits they have already paid to acquire.
The wider platform runs 50+ active brands and 3M+ players at 99.9% uptime, with 7M+ transactions a month. HIPTHER has recognized Kanggiten once already this year. In March the company took Best Live Casino Provider at the GamingTECH CEE Awards during the HIPTHER Prague Summit, an event that drew 400+ attendees from 35+ countries.
“Two nominations in two very different parts of the business, both decided by a public vote,” said Viktor Cherkas, CEO of Kanggiten. “Payments and esports betting are areas where operators feel a problem the same day it happens, so recognition there tells us the work is landing. Thank you to everyone who voted, and to HIPTHER for running the program the way they do. The operators running their brands on our platform earned this as much as we did.”
The full 2026 shortlist is published on the EiGE Awards website.
