Global Gaming Awards EMEA 2025: Winners revealed at an exclusive event in Barcelona

The winners of the Global Gaming Awards EMEA 2025 were unveiled at our invite-only event on Day 1 of ICE at Fira Barcelona Gran Via.

“Congratulations to all the amazing companies that were shortlisted this year, and of course an even bigger congratulations to those that won,” said Mariya Savova, Event Manager of the Global Gaming Awards.

“The competition is getting stronger with each passing year. To be shortlisted is a huge accolade and to win is just a phenomenal achievement. As you all know, the winners were chosen by 50 senior executives from the industry not by us at Gambling Insider.

“On behalf of our team, I would like to thank all event sponsors, our Lead Partner BetConstruct, our voting adjudicator KPMG and, of course, Clarion Gaming for giving the Global Gaming Awards EMEA a new home here in Barcelona,” she added.

The Global Gaming Awards are the most prestigious in the industry as every company and individual is shortlisted on merit, for a reason which you can read in the official Shortlist magazine here, or you can find out more by watching our Shortlist show here.
