Leading platform and aggregator Groove has been named a finalist for Best Aggregator 2026 at the prestigious SiGMA Asia Awards, one of the industry’s highest honours.
The nomination arrives at a pivotal moment for Groove. Throughout 2025, the company has delivered a masterclass in strategic expansion, strengthening its core aggregation, making decisive moves into high-potential verticals like sweepstakes and crypto, and planting its flag in crucial new territories across Asia.
With over 15,000 games from more than 150 providers unified through a single, powerful API, Groove has evolved from content provider to comprehensive growth engine.
As part of its participation in SiGMA Asia 2026, Groove—the leading platform and aggregator—will be represented by CEO Yahale Meltzer and Business Development Director Giusy Campo on a regulatory panel titled “Jurisdiction Jungle: Who Rules Asia’s iGaming Empire?”, which will move beyond marketing hype to examine the structural resilience of Asian licensing regimes under real-world enforcement, cross-border scrutiny, banking pressure, and rising compliance demands.
The SiGMA Asia Awards ceremony will take place on 2 June 2026 at the SMX Convention Centre Manila, during the SiGMA Asia Summit. The winners are determined by a panel of senior industry executives and independently adjudicated by KPMG US, ensuring the process remains transparent and rigorous.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, who joined the company last year to lead its charge into new regulated markets, said: “This shortlist is external recognition of a truth we already feel internally: Groove is moving at a different pace. Asia is not a single market; it is a collection of distinct regulatory environments, player behaviours, and partnership opportunities.”
“Our platform is built to respect that complexity, not smooth it over. Being named a finalist for Best Aggregator tells us that our approach, deep integration, localised content strategies, and commercial precision, is resonating with the operators who matter most in this region. We are not just bringing games to Asia. We are bringing a roadmap for sustainable growth,” she added.
Built for operators who demand flexibility, speed, and performance, Groove combines deep technical integration with a curated portfolio of world-class games.
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, shared: “The aggregation space is crowded. Differentiation is everything. This nomination confirms that our vision, transforming aggregation from a commodity into a strategic growth discipline, is taking hold.”
Meltzer concluded: “Operators across Asia are no longer asking for just volume or speed. They are asking for structural resilience, data intelligence, and a partner who can execute across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision. Groove delivers that. To be recognised alongside the best in Asia is a privilege, but the real work continues in Manila and beyond. We are here to win, not just awards, but the trust of the operators who build their businesses on our platform.”
