Global Online Casino Awards Winners

The GIA Awards are held annually by Gaming Intelligence, a magazine and website that competes with eGR in the global interactive gaming industry and covers legal, financial, and market news as well as analysis and opinion. Their awards started in 2013 and handed out a broader selection of prizes to online casinos, sports betting websites, and suppliers/software developers. The main categories on online casinos are Casino Operator of the Year, One to Watch, Operator Innovation, Casino Supplier of the Year, and Game of the Year. The awards have been held for over a decade, starting in 2004, and some of the best online casinos and software providers have won.

The Global Gaming Awards are hosted by the magazine and gaming news website Gambling Insider and G2E, the Global Gaming Expo. They also use KPMG Europe to audit the awards to ensure impartiality. Judges for the awards come from all areas of the industry and include regulators, CEOs from software suppliers like Microgaming and NetEnt, CEOs from online casino operators like 888 and LeoVegas, and a broad selection of other journalists and experts. There are two award ceremonies per year, one in London that includes online casino awards and one in Las Vegas that only focuses on land-based casino awards and has been given out since 2014. They include recognition for Online Casino of the Year, Online Casino Supplier of the Year, Product of the Year, and Payment Solution of the Year.

IGA also has an award ceremony dedicated entirely to women in gaming. Every year since 2010, women involved throughout the gaming industry are honored for categories that include Innovator of the Year, Industry Pride, Outstanding Contribution, B2B Excellence, Leader of the Year, Young Star, and Young leader. The companies also get awards for Company of the Year and Best Place to Work. More recent additions focus on diversity in the workplace, such as Diverse and Inclusive Team of the Year and Diversity & Inclusion.
