Leading Gaming Brands Speak on Diversity

The Women in Gaming (WIG) Diversity & Inclusion Awards will take place on the 8th June at the stunning Savoy Hotel in London, celebrating and recognising the diverse and inclusive culture companies have within their business.

To understand why the WIG Diversity is so special and why hundreds enter every year, we asked our sponsors to explain themselves why the WIG Diversity is so special and why they support the event.

We asked Gamomat for their thoughts on why they have sponsored: ebrate women’s achievements.

Alexandra Krone, Managing Director at GAMOMAT

Diversity is deeply embedded in GAMOMAT’s code of conduct. These principles made it an easy decision to sponsor the event since the WiG is the standout diversity event in the gaming industry. We know the rich potential women are capable of achieving if they are given genuine support. WiG is a wonderful way to cel -

Collaborating closely with founders Lana and Colin along with the rest of the Clever Duck Media Team makes it even easier to support. Everything works smoothly and their passionate commitment to the women’s cause in iGaming is evident in every aspect of the organisation. Creating a culture of teamwork that is free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination is of paramount importance for our industry to attract the brightest talents.

“We live strong values at GAMOMAT and view diversity as a resource. That’s why we are determined to support initiatives like the WiG Diversity Award. Together we will raise awareness of diversity in our industry and give women the recognition they deserve.” Dr.

Next we asked IGT for their thoughts on why sponsoring and supporting the WIG Diversity is important to them:

For more than a decade, IGT has been a sponsor and ardent supporter of the Women in Gaming Diversity (WiG) awards program. Representatives from the multi-national company state that the program aligns with IGT’s commitment to uplifting women and other underrepresented groups in the workplace and supports an important, company-wide initiative.

“Valuing and protecting our people’ is one of the key priorities driving IGT’s Sustainable Play initiative, a global effort that we formally unveiled at ICE earlier this year,” said Wendy Montgomery, IGT SVP Global Marketing, Communications and Sustainability. “IGT embraces opportunities such as the Women in Gaming Diversity Awards to recognize our highperforming employees and highlight the contributions of our female leaders. For more than a decade, the WiG awards have provided an additional platform for IGT to honor top talent at all levels of our organization while casting an industry-wide spotlight on the contributions of female leaders in the sector.”

IGT employees have been honoured in WiG program awards for many consecutive years. Most recently, IGT’s Victoria Dolan and Jennifer Bowman were recognized as “Ones to Watch” within the industry due to their leadership and contributions within the sector. Similarly, in 2022 Dolan was named WiG’s “Leader of the Year,” and in 2021, Shondra Deloach-Perea was recognized for “Innovation in Employee Engagement” and Bowman was honoured with the “Outstanding Contribution” award.

As a company, Betsson Group is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion within the online gaming industry. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the ‘Women in Gaming, Diversity and Employee Wellbeing Awards’. These awards align with our mission to create a more inclusive and diverse industry, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

We believe that by sponsoring this event, we can demonstrate our commitment to these values. Additionally, we are excited to be part of an initiative that celebrates outstanding female professionals who can inspire and serve as role models for younger women work- ing within the industry or aspiring to join it.

At Betsson Group, we acknowledge that diversity is fundamental to the success of our industry. Therefore, we are pleased to once again support the Women in Gaming awards. We hope that this event will encourage other organisations to follow our lead and actively promote diversity and inclusion not only within their own workforce but also beyond.
