Mariya Savova, event manager of the Global Gaming Awards, said: “The 2022 and 2023 virtual editions of the Global Gaming Awards APAC were received so well by the industry in the region, and of course, our plan was always to have an in-person gathering, where we can collectively celebrate suppliers and operators that have been successful in this part of the world.”
“Last year, SiGMA proved that its Asia event is a must-attend one for anyone who does or wants to do business in the region,” said Savova. “We are extremely happy and grateful to the SiGMA team for giving the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific a home. June can’t come soon enough.”
The Global Gaming Awards was regarded as the most prestigious award-giving body in the gaming industry due to the strict shortlisting and voting processes put in place. Each company and individual was always shortlisted for a specific reason, which was released in the public domain.
“We are very excited to be in partnership with the Global Gaming Awards and are very much looking forward to having their prestigious ceremony form part of SiGMA’s 2024 event calendar,” commented SiGMA Chief Executive Officer Emily Micallef.
The shortlist was decided through extensive research by the Gambling Insider team, consultation with independent industry experts and review of self-nominations, submitted by companies. The self-nominations window was already open. So, all suppliers and operators from across Asia-Pacific were encouraged to submit their nominations, detailing what they have achieved in the past 12 months.
The full shortlist was revealed in May, and winners were chosen by 30 executives from the APAC gaming industry with KPMG in the Crown Dependencies, independently adjudicating the voting process.
The Global Gaming Awards APAC was powered by Gambling Insider, and the event’s lead partner was BetConstruct. The winners would be revealed at a luncheon event on Day 2 of SiGMA Asia on June 4.
SiGMA Asia would be held at the SMX, Manila’s largest expo center, from June 3 to 5, 2024.
