“The increasing importance of new platforms was re?ected in the addition of a mobile payment supplier category”
cloud-based trading platform with the Innovation in Sports Betting Software trophy, and Software Rising Star of the Year – arguably the most ?ercely contested category in the software supplier awards. Its equivalent in the services category was won by Initial Rewards, who also took home the Retention Partner of the Year prize. The sheer number of quality service providers was re?ected in the diversity of winning operators, with 27 different companies taking home a trophy. Established companies like Dragon?sh, GTECH G2 and OpenBet mixed with emerging providers and operators entering for the ?rst time such as OpenMarket, SpotOption and the “truly innovative” Scratchino, which won the Innovation in Mobile award. With the well-documented rise of social gaming prompting the majority of operators to invest in the sector, the audience watched with interest as the nominees for the ?rst-ever Social Gaming Supplier of the Year award were announced, before NextGen Gaming fought off competition from QuickSpin and Cozy Games to walk away with the prize. The increasing importance of new platforms was re?ected in the addition of a Mobile Payment Supplier category for the ?rst time, which was won by OpenMarket. eGaming Review would like to thank all of our sponsors for supporting the event and delegates for attending, and congratulate the winners.
This year's awards was hosted by Nina Conti and 'Monkey'
