iGB Affiliate Awards 2023 organizers are inviting the industry to vote for Game of the Year, one of the most prestigious categories in the event, which will take place on February 9 at The Troxy, London.
The Awards are an integral part of the iGB Affiliate London experience and highlight the “best of the best” across a broad range of categories comprising Best Poker Affiliate; Best Sports Betting Affiliate; Best Casino Affiliate; Best Bingo Affiliate; Best Crypto Affiliate; Best Digital Agency; Marketing Campaign of the Year; Rising Star; Best Newcomer; Innovation Award; Affiliate Employer of the Year; Safer Gambling Initiative of the Year and Game of the Year.
Game of the Year is the only competitive category decided by an industry vote. An in-house panel will select this year’s Affiliate Idol, also known as the Lifetime Achievement Award, organizers further explained.
iGB Portfolio Director Naomi Barton stated: “While there are thousands of new titles released to the market each year, only a small number break through and establish themselves as a sustained driver of revenue for affiliates. This award lets the industry pick out the titles released by suppliers and studios in the past year that have put themselves in with a shout of becoming the next Starburst.”
The winner of the Game of the Year will be decided by a vote on the Top 10 slots released in the period October 2021-September 2022.
The shortlist for 2023, provided by iGB’s official casino data partner eGaming Monitor, comprises John Hunter & The Book Of The Fallen (Pragmatic Play); Fishin’ Pots Of Gold (Gameburger Studios); Secret Of Dead (Play’n GO); Gonzo’s Gold (NetEnt); Fishin’ Frenzy; The Big Catch Megaways (Blueprint Gaming); Leprechaun’s Luck Cash Collect (Playtech); Links Of Ra (Slingshot Studios); Solar Queen Megaways (Playson); Dragon King Legend Of The Seas (Red Tiger) and Return To Paris (Betsoft Gaming).
“The black-tie Awards, which also comprise a three-course sit-down dinner and an entertainment-packed stage show, represent the perfect way to celebrate the industry and recognise the talented individuals who are driving its development,” Barton added.
“The Awards, which are purely for the iGaming affiliate world, are a central part of the iGB Affiliate London experience which this year will involve in excess of 170 leading brands occupying a total of 11,800 square metres of floor space, making it more than a fifth (22%) bigger than the 2022 edition which was held in April last year,” she concluded.
