These awards are rapidly gaining significance in the iGaming world as SlotsCalendar’s steady growth, success, and player-centric mentality represent the community’s interest.

SlotsCalendar AWARDS – iGaming’s Best, Chosen By Players

SlotsCalendar, an iGaming affiliate platform owned by GSH Online Media, builds on the success of its inaugural Awards, given in May 2024. Given the brand’s established status in the industry and the size of its community, the brand decided to invite its player base to decide the best names in iGaming.

For its 2025 edition, the SlotsCalendar Awards Gala returns to the iGaming Club Conference in Malaga, happening on May 28th. The Awards categories for this year are as follows:

• Game Studio of the Year

• Star Slot in the Making
• Casino of the Year
• Excellence in Bonus Variety
• Industry Standard in Responsible Gambling
• Live Casino of the Year
• Best Sports Betting Platform
• Best New Casino

While the idea of iGaming Awards is not new to the industry, the SlotsCalendar Awards are unique for a simple reason: winners are voted by players from the entire iGaming community.

The Significance and Resonance of These Awards

The uniqueness of these awards makes them particularly important in iGaming. Placing the decision-making strictly in the hands of the player is a fundamental shift in the iGaming community.

Moreover, it represents an approach that is in tune with the rise in popularity of community involvement. Player-centric decisions and strategies have increased in significance in recent times, and SlotsCalendar’s Awards ceremony spearheads a new method of doing so.

A special touch to these Awards is a raffle organized by SlotsCalendar. Players voting qualify for a raffle rewarding participation. Once the player sends their votes, they qualify automatically.

Explaining the 2nd Edition – What’s New?

In 2024, the first edition of the SlotsCalendar Awards introduced seven categories for which players could vote. This year, the number rose to ten, and the new additions are:

• Best New Casino – a category for freshly launched casino brands
• Best Sports Betting Platform – a recognition of the best brand known for its bookmaking
• Best Crypto Casino – an acknowledgment of the rising importance of cryptocurrencies in iGaming
  

In addition, several returning categories have been renamed. The purpose is for them to carry a more resonant and distinguished name that better reflects the significance of the award.
