GottaGamble Wins Crypto Affiliate of the Year at SBC Affiliate Leaders Awards 2026

GottaGamble has been named Crypto Affiliate of the Year at the SBC Affiliate Leaders Awards 2026, securing industry recognition in a category that reflects the evolving relationship between cryptocurrency, online gambling and affiliate publishing.

The award was presented at Lisbon’s MEO Arena on 30 September, during a ceremony celebrating achievements across the global iGaming affiliate and operator communities. Featuring 20 categories, the awards formed part of the Affiliate Leaders Summit, held alongside SBC Summit.

For GottaGamble, the win marks a significant milestone for its specialist approach to crypto gambling content. The platform publishes crypto casino reviews, game analyses, and educational guides, backed by a suite of proprietary tools built for crypto players: a real-time crypto transfer fee comparison tool, an AI-powered casino recommendation engine that matches players with operators based on their location and preferences.

The significance of the category extends beyond the award itself. As cryptocurrency adds another dimension to online gambling, specialist affiliates have an important role in explaining how these products work and helping readers assess the operators behind them.

That role requires more than comparing offers. Readers need accessible information about payment processes, withdrawal conditions, security and the practical differences between platforms. GottaGamble describes its review process as covering areas including licensing, safety, games and customer support.

Viewed in this context, a dedicated Crypto Affiliate of the Year category recognises the value of specialist knowledge within the wider affiliate industry. As digital assets influence how gambling products are presented and accessed, clear explanations and meaningful scrutiny become integral to the content surrounding them.

Kristoffer Hagen, Founder of GottaGamble said: 

“Winning Crypto Affiliate of the Year at the SBC Affiliate Leaders Awards is a proud moment for everyone at GottaGamble. It recognises the work our team puts into making a complex and fast-moving sector easier to understand.

“Crypto gambling brings a distinct set of questions for players and affiliates have a responsibility to provide more than promotional content. Clear explanations, thorough reviews and transparency are essential to helping readers make informed decisions.

“This award is a fantastic milestone for our team and reinforces our commitment to developing useful, accessible content as the sector continues to evolve.”
