"After announcing the nominees for the Best Executive category last week, we are thrilled to announce the shortlist for the remaining 15 categories. Congratulations to all the operators and suppliers from EMEA who made this year's shortlist," said Mariya Savova, Global Gaming Awards event manager.
"We were amazed by the large number of excellent nominations submitted by companies, and it was very difficult to narrow down the list to just 10 companies per category."
"The nominees should feel proud, as this proves you are among the top ten in your field. Those who did not make the final shortlist this year should not be discouraged. The competition is really fierce, and you will have another chance," she added.
The Global Gaming Awards is the most prestigious in the industry because each company and individual is shortlisted based on their own merits, which you can read about in the official shortlist magazine below.
Moreover, this award is so coveted because the winners are selected by a jury of 50 industry executives, with the voting process adjudicated by KPMG of the British Crown Dependencies to ensure transparency and fairness.
This year's jury includes executives like Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi, Daniela Johansson, Deputy CEO of Paf, Siobhan Lane, CEO of the Gaming Division at Light & Wonder, Per Jaldung, CEO of Grand Casino Brussels VIAGE, and more.
The shortlist was determined after a detailed review of the self-nominations submitted by various companies. We also sought advice from independent industry consultants and experts.
The winners of the Global Gaming Awards for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa will be announced on January 20, 2025, during an invitation-only event on the first day of ICE in Barcelona.
The award ceremony will be live-streamed for those who cannot attend. The Global Gaming Awards is hosted by Gambling Insider, with KPMG of the British Crown Dependencies serving as the official adjudicator of the voting.
BetConstruct is the main partner of the event, with category sponsors including Interblock, Soft2Bet, Aristocrat Gaming, SPRIBE, Gammastack, Bragg Gaming, Z-Gaming, Digitain, BGaming, Imagine Live, GR8 Tech, Galaxsys, EGT, 1xBet, and EveryMatrix.
