EMEA 2024: WINNERS EDITION

This week, Gambling Insider hosted the seventh edition of the Global Gaming Awards EMEA at London’s Hippodrome Casino. The Global Gaming Awards are regarded as the most prestigious Awards in the gaming industry, due to the strict shortlisting and voting processes put in place. Each company and individual was nominated for a specific reason, all of which you can find in the official Shortlist magazine. We ensured that companies were only nominated once per category, meaning that if a company has multiple
brands, only one of them could be shortlisted in a particular category. The Shortlist was decided through extensive research by our team, consultation with independent industry experts and review of hundreds of selfnominations, submitted by companies. The winners were chosen by 50 industry leaders, all with years of experience in the EMEA region with KPMG in the Crown Dependencies independently adjudicating the voting process to ensure fairness and transparency. Some of the executives who participated in this year’s Judging Panel include: Sam Sadi, CEO of LiveScore
