Champions Club Delivers Our Biggest ICE To Date

We made ICE Barcelona 2026 our strongest showing yet, with Champions Club packed from open to close, every day of the event. By the end of the conference, the team had generated nearly 200 qualified meetings, a 35% jump from our previous record at the end of 2025.

We also received special recognition as Best Software Supplier of the Year at the European iGaming Awards, honoring technology that supports operators while improving the player experience. Industry recognition continued with the ULTIM8 Sportsbook nomination for Sports Platform of the Year at the inaugural iGaming News Awards at ICE Barcelona 2026.

Platform for Champions, Proven at ICE

We showcased Platform for Champions, giving operators a clear view of how the stack supports various launch and scaling scenarios. The biggest conversation starter was Crypto Turnkey—a new launch built for operators who want more control over payments, faster routes to market, and access to crypto-forward player demand. Across meetings, the team spoke with existing partners and new prospects about how crypto can remove PSP bottlenecks, strengthen payment uptime, and unlock higher-value segments. Turnkey conversations drew the strongest pull, accounting for around 60% of all discussions.

Champions Club, Delivering the Energy

We left ICE Barcelona 2026 with a full calendar of follow-ups—and a format proven to work. Champions Club kept the space in constant motion: athletes and performers on treadmills (even in heels), pad-work sessions with Lee McFarland from Behind the Gloves, and meetings completely booked.

Acceler8 Lab ran at full capacity throughout, with sessions delivered in partnership with Gaming Operations Academy. Our experts joined industry specialists, including Scott Rowan (Bet Data Consultants) and Verónica Guerrero (ElenPAY), to cover crypto payments, sportsbook optimization, AI implementation, and more.

Born from the Heavyweight concept, inspired by our partnership with Ready to Fight by Oleksandr Usyk, the Champions Club expands beyond boxing to celebrate performance, discipline, and championship standards across different sports and arenas. It's the format that drove the results—and the blueprint we're carrying throughout 2026.
