Seconds for award, years for history: what’s behind 1xPartners’ win in Best Affiliate Program 2026 category

Press release.- The winner’s name is announced in a matter of seconds. The room applauds, photographers capture the scene – the ceremony moves on. But the years of hard work stand behind that moment. On September 2, 1xPartners was named Best Affiliate Program 2026 at the SiGMA North America.

The award captures the result of a single evening. The other half of the story is global network expansion, technical infrastructure, and the team that drove this success.

Founded in 2016, 1xPartners grew into a network of 500,000+ affiliates, delivering more than 10 million players to the platform every month. Such volume transforms it into a distinct infrastructure within the industry. Operating in more than 150 countries and supporting 73 languages reflects years of deep localisation across regions.

This scale is supported by the continuous development of the program’s technology base. Automation and API integrations take routine tasks off partners’ shoulders; real-time analytics deliver data instantly; AI-powered solutions retain players where they might previously have been lost; and flexible payout models and more than 250 payment methods make earnings accessible anywhere. A dedicated team supports these solutions, adapting the platform to a changing market. A personal manager adds the context and trust that no technology can replace. A modern affiliate program goes far beyond serving as a traffic channel: it simultaneously drives partner results, business efficiency, and the quality of the user experience.

The Best Affiliate Program 2026 award is not the end of this journey, but a milestone along a long-term trajectory. The 1xPartners program continues to expand its network and strengthen its infrastructure, laying the foundation for the continued success of each partner.
