The Global Gaming Awards EMEA 2025 winners were revealed during an exclusive, invite-only event held on the first day of ICE at Fira Barcelona Gran Via.
“Congratulations to all the outstanding companies that made it to the shortlist this year, and an even bigger congratulations to the winners,” said Mariya Savova, Event Manager of the Global Gaming Awards.
“Each year, the competition becomes more intense. Being shortlisted is already a remarkable recognition, and winning is truly an extraordinary accomplishment. As you’re aware, the winners were selected by 50 senior industry executives, not by us at Gambling Insider.”
“On behalf of our team, I want to extend my gratitude to all event sponsors, our Lead Partner BetConstruct, our voting adjudicator KPMG, and, of course, Clarion Gaming for providing a new home for the Global Gaming Awards EMEA here in Barcelona,” she said.
The Global Gaming Awards are organized by Gambling Insider, with KPMG in the Crown Dependencies serving as the official voting adjudicator. BetConstruct is the event’s Lead Partner, while the category sponsors include Soft2Bet, Aristocrat Gaming, Interblock Gaming, SPRIBE, Bragg Gaming, GammaStack, Digitain, Z-Gaming, BGaming, Imagine Live, GR8 Tech, Galaxsys, EGT, EveryMatrix, and 1xBet.
