Why the Parimatch Platform nominated for The platform of the year award
Every year, SBC Awards observe the achievements of the entertainment industry’s best operators, affiliates, suppliers, and payment providers. Parimatch Tech was nominated in the category Platform provider of the year this year. Let’s figure out key benchmarks for nomination by the case of Parimatch Tech.
What is the Platform provider of the year award?
The platform provider of the year award has been created to recognise the best standalone platform provider of 2022, servicing the sports betting industry. Industry experts from the SBC jury consider the provider’s success, stability, flexibility and geographical reach.
Benchmark #1: synergy between business’s ambitions and development
As the core of Parimatch Tech’s product, the Parimatch Platform serves 130 million daily transactions for 17 brands and over 20 apps.
The Parimatch platform was born from the business’s ambitions to grow faster and expand in new markets. For such purposes, the platform team developed its components less dependent on each other.
The development of the Parimatch platform lasted less than two years, which is relatively fast compared to 3-4 years of development for competitors. A huge challenge was finishing the platform development and migrating users from the previous platform before the significant sports event. And Parimatch Tech teams did it — complete migration was ready just in time before the UEFA Euro 2020, which was postponed to June and July 2021.
Benchmark #2: stability of the services
Parimatch Tech has nine R&D centres worldwide, where more than 1000 IT specialists cover the development and infrastructure support of the Parimatch platform entirely.
Since the 1st day of the war in Ukraine, where the leading R&D centre is located, the company implemented an operation and infrastructure crisis plan. Thus, despite the danger of missile attacks in Kyiv, the end customers didn’t feel any trouble with services.
The platform seamlessly serves 200,000 active users at the same time. The core processes 7,000 financial transactions per second, and at peak loads, this number reaches 20,000 transactions per second with a latency of 25 ms at 95 pt.
The company has built a notification system for incidents, automatically resolving some place bets issues or directly addressing them to the responsible specialist. Thanks to that system, the Mean time to repair (MTTP) for most business incidents is less than 30 min in 90.9% of cases.
Parimatch Tech integrates services of the well-known technological giants such as AWS, Google, Cloudflare, Salesforce, Betgenius, Betradar, and more to enable most tech services and enhance product quality. Furthermore, Parimatch Tech’s data security ecosystem complies with PCI DSS worldwide standards, guaranteeing security mechanics’ reliability.
“The war in Ukraine forced Parimatch Tech to set a course for advanced business model diversification with global expansion. And our product is ready for that challenge because the Parimatch Platform was meant for that. Can’t wait to test our infrastructure under growing peak loads.” — Arthur Ashirov, Vice President of Engineering at Parimatch Tech.
Benchmark #3: flexibility
Parimatch Tech uses a hybrid infrastructure approach, enabling it to host cloud and data centre infrastructure services.
The Parimatch platform is always prepared for peak loads thanks to autoscaling based on AI predictions. As the result of the predictions and autoscaling, the platform handles all bet settlements at peak load times during top sports events without any downtimes.
Furthermore, the Parimatch Platform includes the content recommendation engine as the core part of a personalised gaming experience with an adaptive user interface. Build-in integrated experiment platform provides programmatically adjusting and tuning products to customers just in time.
Benchmark #4: Geographical reach
For example, Parimatch Tech’s strategic partnerships with AWS, Google, Cloudflare, and Salesforce make it possible to provide company products to customers on every continent. For example, such solutions make it possible for businesses to operate in African countries as if the entire infrastructure is located on the African continent.
The Parimatch platform serves the Parimatch Brand and company partners in Ukraine, India, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Nigeria, and Tanzania. After the war in Ukraine began, Parimatch Tech withdrew its franchise and stopped platform operations on the territory of the Russian Federation. Moreover, Belorussian teams are no longer a part of Parimatch Tech holding, so the company stopped platform operations and withdrew the Parimatch brand from the Belorussian market.
This year together with Parimatch Tech were nominated Aspire Global, BETCONSTRUCT, PLAYTECH, OpenBet, Digitain and other prominent industry suppliers. The SBC Awards 2022 ceremony will take place on 22 September at Barcelona. It is a worth noticing event for all who interested in betting and gabling industry development.

New focus for safer gambling as Clarion confirms launch of Sustainable Gambling Zone
The Consumer Protection Zone (CPZ), which since its launch at ICE 2018 has developed to become the highest profile feature on the ICE show floor has been re-branded to become the Sustainable Gambling Zone (SGZ).
The strategic decision has been taken following extensive stakeholder consultation and is set against the heightened importance placed on proactive customer interventions at earlier stages of the player journey.
The SGZ will be debuted at July’s iGB L!VE prior to its official launch at ICE 2025, the first edition of the industry’s most influential b2b gaming show to be held at its new home in Barcelona
Clarion Gaming’s Director of Industry Insight and Engagement, Ewa Bakun, who has seen the CPZ develop to become the key platform for the industry to advance its understanding and implementation of safer gambling measures and raise standards said: “I must stress that this is much more than just a cosmetic exercise. Instead, the Sustainable Gambling Zone, with its refreshed focus, will engage with the broader stakeholder group of operators who are focused on long-term sustainability, something which goes way beyond simply meeting the regulatory mandate.
“The overarching objective of the Sustainable Gambling Zone is to be at the vanguard of initiatives to help develop healthy play from the outset which includes the incorporation of safer gambling considerations from the very start rather than as a compliance requirement.
“While not yet standard across the whole of the industry, this more holistic approach underpins the safer gambling dynamic. Its goal is to create a more sustainable business in which players continue to enjoy their gambling entertainment experience with the small proportion who are at risk of developing problems pro-actively identified and assisted by operators.”
Clarion Gaming Managing Director, Stuart Hunter added: “The relocation to Barcelona will enable us to expand the ICE and iGB Affiliate offerings but also raise the bar in terms of what we already deliver on behalf of the international industry.
“The intended broader appeal of the Sustainable Gambling Zone dovetails with our relocation and will bring the SGZ closer geographically to continental Europe and closer culturally to the Latin American markets that we serve.
“Barcelona will open a new chapter for ICE/iGB Affiliate and their respective features, not least the Sustainable Gambling Zone.”

Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, is delighted to launch Solid Gold™ to the Cat C market, the latest addition to our Fortune Community™ slot lineup. Fortune Community offers a multiplayer gaming experience tailored for the Category C and bingo markets. Fortune Community games can activate a community bonus during play, ensuring all eligible players can share in the rewards.
Prepare to embark on a nostalgic journey with Solid Gold™, a classic retro slot that seamlessly blends vintage charm with exhilarating thrills.
In Solid Gold, a Gold Bar character hovering above the reels brings players closer to victory. When these characters grace each of the three reels, they unlock one of three bonuses. During the Wild Pick bonus, players take charge and choose one of three reels to turn Wild – or two if they’re lucky. Once a reel is selected, a stack of Wilds fills the entire reel, whilst the Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols to enhance or create wins.
Players fortunate enough to trigger the Wild Pick bonus will have the opportunity to win a bonus spin. During this feature, the Wild reels will lock in position while the remaining reels spin again, providing players with an additional opportunity to win.
The Solid Gold community bonus steals the spotlight, played on alternative reels and offering 6 enticing prizes up for grabs. The reels will continue to spin until either a £100 jackpot prize is awarded, or a losing combination appears. Solid Gold not only offers players the opportunity to relive the golden era of slots but also engages them in a community bonus.
Richard Terry, UK Market Product Director, said: ” Solid Gold is the latest in a series of fantastic Fortune Community Cat C titles from Inspired, and once again sees the return of a much-loved classic game brand from yesteryear, likely to engage both new players with its absorbing presentation and experienced players with fond memories of the original product”
