Hub Affiliations has been recognized at the iGB Affiliate Awards 2026, securing the Programme/Network Campaign of the Year award for its Creator-Powered Live Streaming Rollout initiative and earning a Highly Commended distinction in the Best Affiliate Network category.
The awards highlight the company’s growing influence in the affiliate marketing and iGaming sectors, recognizing its ability to combine live streaming, creator marketing, media assets, AI-driven optimization, and performance marketing into scalable acquisition strategies.
Presented in London, the iGB Affiliate Awards are among the industry’s most prestigious events, celebrating innovation, growth, and commercial success across the global affiliate ecosystem. Hub Affiliations’ winning campaign stood out for integrating sports content, creator-led distribution, live streaming experiences, and affiliate technology into a unified user acquisition model.
The campaign leveraged several components of the company’s ecosystem, including sports media platform Sporticos, editorial content, social media promotion, data analytics, and AI-supported optimization tools. The strategy was designed to engage sports audiences before the conversion stage, creating a more connected journey from content consumption to operator acquisition.
The recognition comes during a period of significant growth for Hub Affiliations. According to company figures, the group averages more than 20,000 first-time depositors (FTDs) per month, works with over 1,600 registered affiliates, and reaches audiences across 187 countries through its network of media properties.
Beyond the award-winning campaign, Hub Affiliations has expanded its presence through a portfolio of media brands including Sporticos, DerbyDerbyDerby.it, MilanistiChannel.com, Betadvisor, 123scommesse, ScommesseSerieA, and Sbostats. The company says this network enables it to operate across sports content, live streaming, SEO, audience development, and performance marketing.
Hub Affiliations also highlighted its focus on operational standards, noting that it has obtained 16 international certifications covering areas such as quality management, compliance, security, business continuity, and social responsibility.
The company views the dual recognition as validation of a broader strategy that positions affiliate marketing as a comprehensive growth platform rather than a traditional traffic-acquisition model. By combining owned media, technology, creator engagement, and data-driven optimization, Hub Affiliations aims to provide operators with scalable access to qualified sports audiences worldwide.
Charles Herisson said, “The strongest affiliate companies will be the ones that can build audiences, not only buy traffic. Our goal with Hub Affiliations is to connect media, technology, creators and performance into one model.”
Francesco Maddalena added, “Sporticos and live streaming allow us to reach sports fans when their attention is highest. The challenge is not only generating traffic, but creating a better user journey before conversion.”
The latest honors add to the group’s growing international track record, which includes multiple industry nominations and awards across affiliate marketing, sports media, digital publishing, and performance marketing.
