Major iGaming Awards Ceremony Nominations Entering Final Stretch

With less than two weeks remaining before the deadline, the iGaming community is being urged to submit final nominations for a prestigious annual awards ceremony that recognizes outstanding contributions to fairness, responsibility, and innovation in online gambling.

Now in its fourth year, the awards have established themselves as one of the most values-driven recognition programs in the industry. Unlike traditional industry awards that focus primarily on commercial performance, this ceremony specifically honors organizations and individuals whose work demonstrates that integrity and business success can coexist.

The 2026 edition introduces four new categories reflecting evolving industry priorities: Woman Leader of the Year, Rising Star in Responsible Gambling, Young Changemaker Award for professionals under 30, and Industry Culture Shaper for companies fostering positive workplace environments.

Established categories continue to cover core areas including fairest bonus policies, most transparent operations, best complaint handling, and most impactful social responsibility initiatives. A public voting phase will begin in March, complemented by expert panel evaluations.

The winners will be announced at an exclusive live ceremony on May 25, 2026, at The Xara Lodge in Malta, bringing together shortlisted nominees, judges, sponsors, and industry leaders for an evening dedicated to celebrating progress across the iGaming ecosystem.

Organizers have emphasized that the awards exist to give visibility to those who are actively raising standards and proving that responsible practices can drive sustainable business growth.
