On behalf of our entire team, it is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the fourth annual Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific - a celebration of excellence, innovation and leadership across one of the most dynamic gaming markets in the world.
Since 2014, the Global Gaming Awards have been bringing together the very best from across the gaming industry. It all began with our flagship event in Las Vegas each October, celebrating the success and innovation of the Americas. The overwhelming support from the US industry gave us the confidence to expand and launch the Global Gaming Awards Europe, Middle East & Africa in 2018.
Then in 2022, we proudly introduced the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific. Last year we reached an exciting milestone with our first in-person ceremony in Manila during the SiGMA Asia Summit. The buzz surrounding the event reminded us why the Asia-Pacific region is so vital for the global gaming industry.
This year, the excitement is greater than ever. 2024 has shown just how resilient and innovative the APAC industry is. Operators and suppliers across both the land-based and digital verticals surged ahead, while shaping a new era for gaming in the region.
As always, our Shortlist reflects the industry’s achievements from the past 12 months. Each shortlisted company has showcased a remarkable dedication to innovation and delivering outstanding customer experiences, so I would like to express my sincere congratulations to all nominees. Your recognition is well-earned and we are proud to celebrate your contributions to advancing our amazing industry!
I would also like to take a moment and thank our stellar Judging Panel, made up of senior executives from across the industry, for their time and insight. Their expertise ensures that the Awards continue to reflect true merit.
A special thank you also goes to our independent voting adjudicator, KPMG, for once again verifying the integrity of our process. We are also grateful to our Lead Partner, BetConstruct and to all the event sponsors for their continued belief in our event and in our vision to create truly fair industry Awards.
And as we prepare to gather once again in Manila, I want to say a big thank you to my good friend Eman Pulis and his team for having the Global Gaming Awards at the SiGMA Asia Summit 2025.
Best of luck to all those who were shortlisted. Our team is looking forward to seeing you in Manila on 3 June!
Gary Roudette, CEO, Players Publishing
