SBC Americas Awards 2025 Highlights
As most of our readers are into the casino side of iGaming, we’ll focus our highlights on those areas. While we saw many of the usual suspects taking home awards, such as Pragmatic Play and Evolution, it was nice to see emerging suppliers in the regions recognised, such as TaDa Gaming and Live88.
Wazdan, a developer we’ve enjoyed following here at Casinoplusbonus, also received a couple of awards, which we feel are totally deserved. Plus, while they didn’t win their categories, IGT PlayDigital and Light & Wonder will appreciate their runner-up prizes.
