AskGamblers Awards Virtual Gala to Be Held June 17, 2021

 

The organisers made a decision to turn the AskGamblers Awards show and the Charity event into virtual ceremonies – both taking place on 17 June, 2021. The Awards have been celebrating the best of the best in the iGaming industry for 3 consecutive years and, this time, the show will be held as a virtual gala event, due to COVID-19.

It’s official – the AskGamblers Awards ceremony will take place on 17 June, and will be held online, due to the ongoing pandemic. The health and well-being of all the participants are of utmost importance to the organisers of the AskGamblers Awards event and it is, therefore, being held in a manner that is both safe and consistent. All our partners will also be able to attend the AskGamblers Virtual Charity event which will happen on the same day, and will be dedicated to raising funds to support charity organisations.

AskGamblers Awards have been celebrating the best in the industry for more than three years. So, once again, the Awards will allow all iGaming aficionados to have their voice be heard and help select the best of the best for the year 2020 in the categories, listed as follows:

Best Casino

Best New Casino

Best Provider

Best New Slot

Player’s Choice.

In addition, there will also be an award for the Best Affiliate Manager and the Best Partner.

The winners of all categories will be chosen through the joint efforts of the AskGamblers team of experts and players’ votes, while a separate award called Players’ Choice will depend solely on players. As for the Best New Casino and Best New Slot categories, only the ones that have been listed on AskGamblers website between March 2020 and March 2021 will be eligible for these two Awards.

AskGamblers will traditionally host a Charity event to raise money for the good cause, only this time, the event will be virtual. Dedicated to raising funds to support charity organisations, the event will give all partners a chance to contribute to this cause and, in doing so, to make a difference.

Back in January 2020, we managed to raise €66,900 during the AskGamblers Charity night. Namely, €50,000 was directed to UNICEF through Catena Operations Ltd. to help fight COVID-19, while NORBS foundation and “Zvončica” Parent organization of children with cancer received the rest of the funds. It was all possible thanks to our casino partners who participated in the event.

As General Manager AskGamblers, Denis Ristic, said: “We’re here to celebrate the best of the best in the betting and gaming industry, and ever since the COVID-19 pandemics interfered in our plans, we decided it was time to move the events online. After all, health and wellbeing of our guests are currently our primary concerns. And, although the AskGamblers Awards show and the Charity event will be very different in comparison to their previous editions, we can promise entertaining affairs!”

iGB Affiliate Awards celebrate outstanding achievements, groundbreaking innovations and creativity

 

The international igaming affiliate community has until 20 October to provide their submissions for the coveted iGB Affiliate Awards, which recognise the outstanding achievements and groundbreaking innovations that have taken place throughout the sector over the last 12 months. 

The winners across 20 categories will be unveiled at a futuristic fantasy-themed, black-tie celebration taking place following the second day of iGB Affiliate (8 February) at the Troxy, a Grade II-listed 1930’s Art Deco music venue which is situated just a short journey from ExCeL London.

Previewing the Awards, iGB Portfolio Director Naomi Barton said: “This is the event where the igaming affiliate community is able to collectively let its hair down after an action-packed opening day at the premier show for the sector, and recognise the success of colleagues and competitors in the sumptuous surroundings of one of London’s most-loved Art Deco entertainment venues.

“Recognised for being the Oscars of the industry, the iGB Affiliate Awards comprise 20 categories, 19 of which are open to the industry to enter or vote on. The remaining category – for Affiliate Idol (aka Lifetime Achievement Award) – is selected by an in-house panel but in a change for 2024 we are now inviting suggestions from the industry. The Awards are free to enter. There is no limit on the number of categories you can put yourself or your company forward for – if you feel you meet the entry criteria, then we want to hear from you!

“As iGB Affiliate prepares to say goodbye to London ahead of the show’s 2025 relocation to Barcelona, we want to ensure that the 2024 Awards will be the best edition yet. Which is why we are pulling out all of the stops with a theme which brings together the worlds of cyberpunk and fairytale as the backdrop to showcasing the creativity which runs through the sector.”

With something for everyone to enter, the Affiliate Awards Categories comprise: Best Casino Affiliate, Best Sports Betting Affiliate, Best Bingo Affiliate, Best Poker Affiliate, Best Crypto Affiliate, Best Streaming Affiliate, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Affiliate Employer of the Year and Safer Gambling Initiative of the Year. Individual Categories: Best Affiliate Manager and Affiliate Idol (Lifetime Achievement Award). Programme/Network Categories: Best Affiliate Programme and Best Affiliate Network. Service Provider Categories: Best Tech for Affiliates, Best Tech for Affiliate Programmes, Best Digital Agency and Game of the Year (Public Vote). All Companies: Rising Star, Best Newcomer and Innovator of the Year.

The iGB Affiliate Awards are decided by an external panel of  industry judges selected for their expertise on both the igaming affiliate sector and in specialist areas relevant to individual awards, such as safer gambling. All 18 confirmed judges have signed an NDA to keep submitted information confidential and the winners’ names secret until the event has taken place. They are also obliged to declare any potential conflicts of interest prior to judging. Judges are allocated categories aligned to their areas of industry experience and knowledge, and to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Access to submissions is restricted to the judge’s allocated categories.
