MightyTips nominated for the SiGMA Africa Awards 2025 as the Best Sportsbook Affiliate
MightyTips has been shortlisted for the SiGMA Africa Awards 2025 in the Best Sportsbook Affiliate category. The award ceremony will occur in Cape Town, South Africa, on March 10, 2025.
This award highlights and recognises affiliates who successfully drive traffic to online sportsbooks, provide additional insight for sports bettors, and create meaningful collaborations that help boost engagement for all parties.
MightyTips will compete for the Best Sportsbook Affiliate award against industry titans such as Flashscore and Sofascore, among other contenders. A total of 24 awards will be handed out throughout the evening.
MightyTips highlights
The nomination follows a year of growth for the online sports portal. MightyTips provides comprehensive bookmaker reviews and daily free football tips and predictions across various leagues and tournaments, including the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and UEFA Champions League, which are highly popular with African audiences. The platform generates consistent African traffic, with Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and Uganda being the biggest sources.
In 2024, MightyTips expanded its portfolio of multilingual sites to 18 and launched the MightyQs interview series, which illuminates partnerships between sportsbooks and high-profile sports organisations and personas. The latest instalment explores MelBet’s role as the Juventus FC’s Official Regional Partner in Africa and the Middle East.
Another highlight of the year came in September 2024 as MightyTips ambassador, an undefeated pro boxer Jevgenijs “The Hurricane” Aleksejevs claimed the IBO European Middleweight Championship belt, helping to improve the brand’s visibility among sports fans.
Eugene Ravdin, Head of Communications and Marketing at MightyTips, said: “We are thrilled to be nominated for the Best Sportsbook Affiliate at the SiGMA Africa Awards. We are working hard to reach African bettors and are delighted to receive recognition. It is great to see our work and proactive approach rewarded. We cannot wait to represent MightyTips at the ceremony in Cape Town.”

GGBET UA is expanding its presence in football: first press conference with FC Zorya held in Kyiv
The first media event as part of FC Zorya Luhansk’s partnership with their title sponsor, GGBET UA, has taken place in Kyiv. Zorya is the second Ukrainian football team that the brand has successfully collaborated with. The partnership with the leading betting brand has boosted Zorya’s media activity and brought the club closer to fans.
By working with GGBET UA, Zorya have strengthened their presence on social media, regularly sharing engaging and interactive content. Thanks to this new strategy for interacting with fans, the reach and engagement of certain types of social media posts have doubled. The club have launched an updated version of their official site, where you can now find all the information about their history and current activities. Zorya will also soon be delighting fans by launching an official fan shop.
This approach to the partnership between GGBET UA and FC Zorya Luhansk is bringing the team closer to their fans, creating real value for all involved, and promoting Ukrainian football.
GGBET UA CEO Sergii Mishchenko shared his thoughts about the collaboration and the future of the partnership: “GGBET chooses its partners carefully. Signing football clubs just for the sake of a portfolio is not the approach we take. Shared values, a drive for growth, and a desire to evolve and improve are all important to us. Our partnership with FC Zorya is a brilliant example of our philosophy when it comes to collaboration. We only started working together at the end of 2024, and we’re already seeing results. And we have many new and interesting things to look forward to in the future.”
During the press conference, club representatives also shared the results of their winter training sessions and discussed how the team is preparing for the second half of the Ukrainian Premier League season. The club also announced that it has signed some new players: Bosnia’s Dejan Popara and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Bilotserkovets.
You may recall that previously GGBET UA broadened its support for Ukrainian football by partnering with FC Dynamo Kyiv. A press conference with the club was held in autumn 2024 and was an important step forward in terms of strengthening the brand’s ties with Ukrainian football.
