Santacatarinas – The industry’s most prestigious Awards are returning to Las Vegas this October to reward the best operators and suppliers from across the Americas.
Gambling Insider is pleased to reveal that the nominations window for the Global Gaming Awards Americas 2025 is now open. Companies can submit their nominations across as many of the categories as they see fit until 8th May on santacatarinas.com/
“Our team is particularly excited about this edition of the Global Gaming Awards Americas as this year we have refreshed the categories list,” said Mariya Savova, Event Manager of the Global Gaming Awards.
“The Land-Based Supplier of the year category is splitting into two, allowing us to reward the best Class II and Class III suppliers.
“Elsewhere, we have added the Casino Services Supplier of the year category, which will recognise the suppliers that bring breakthrough technology to the casino floor.
“Last but not least, we have the betboo, LATAM & Caribbean Operator of the year category, where we expect to receive nominations from digital operators, particularly from the booming Brazilian market,” she added.
When submitting nominations, we kindly ask companies to write a short (480 characters max) statement highlighting their achievements from the past 12 months. These achievements can be from the land-based or digital verticals but must be related to the US, Canada and/or LATAM markets. Our advice is to avoid generic company bios and achievements outside the Americas region as these are unlikely to give you a spot in the final Shortlist.
Shortlisted companies will be contacted in August and asked to submit a short supporting statement, outlining why they believe they should win.
The full Shortlist, detailing why each company and individual has been shortlisted, will be released in the public domain in September.
The winners will be chosen by over 100 C-level industry executives with only one executive per company allowed to participate in the voting process. KPMG will once again act as the independent voting adjudicator.
The Awards presentation ceremony will be held on Day 1 of G2E, 6th October.
