The iGB Affiliate Awards, recognizing excellence and innovation in the iGaming affiliate industry, will return on July 3, 2025, coinciding with iGB L!VE in London. Businesses of all sizes are invited to enter the awards, with the nomination deadline set for March 28 and the shortlist to be announced in early May.
The event will be held at East London’s Troxy, a Grade II-listed Art Deco venue known for hosting musical icons such as Liam Gallagher, Garbage, and The Cure. The ceremony will embrace a Britpop theme, celebrating the cultural movement that defined the ‘Cool Britannia’ era.
The awards will feature 20 categories, recognizing excellence across various sectors of the industry. Honoring top performers in different gaming verticals, the lineup includes Best Casino Affiliate, Best Sports Betting Affiliate, Best Bingo Affiliate, Best Poker Affiliate, Best Crypto Affiliate, and Best Streaming Affiliate.
Additionally, standout achievements in marketing and responsible gaming will be acknowledged through awards such as Marketing Campaign of the Year, Affiliate Employer of the Year, and Safer Gambling Initiative of the Year.
Recognizing leadership, innovation, and emerging talent, the awards will also feature Best Affiliate Manager, Lifetime Achievement Award (Affiliate Idol), Best Affiliate Programme, and Best Affiliate Network.
With a focus on technological advancements, the newly introduced Best Tech and Best Affiliate Management Platform will highlight cutting-edge contributions. The lineup is rounded out by categories such as Best Digital Agency, Rising Star, Best Newcomer, and Innovator of the Year, while the Game of the Year award will be determined by public vote.
The awards are widely regarded for their transparency, with a panel of external judges selected for their expertise in iGaming affiliates and specific industry fields, such as safer gambling. Judges must sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to ensure confidentiality and declare potential conflicts of interest before reviewing nominations.
Naomi Barton, Global Portfolio Director for iGB Events, said: “The decision to keep the iGB Affiliate Awards in London alongside the relocated iGB L!VE has been welcomed by the industry.
“The opportunity to experience the very best products and services on the iGB L!VE show floor during the day and then to celebrate the fantastic achievements of the igaming affiliate community amongst friends and colleagues at the Awards is a wonderful, once-in-a-year opportunity.”
She emphasized the impact of the awards: “Being judged ‘best in class’ at the premier recognition platform for iGaming affiliates demonstrates to current and future employees that you are a leading company, helps attract talent, and fosters team pride.”
