As the international igaming industry prepares for the July 2025 relocation of iGB L!VE to London, show organizers noted that they have received another endorsement of the decision to pair the industry’s fastest-growing Tier 1 online gaming expo with the iGB Affiliate Awards, which iGB Live describes as “the most respected celebration of excellence on the industry calendar.”
Following on from the announcement by Richard Moffat, Chief Executive of OLBG, that the company would be supporting iGB L!VE and the iGB Affiliate Awards, Jamie Walters, CEO of QiH Group confirmed his support, stating: “Since QiH entered the iGaming affiliate marketplace a decade ago, industry awards and events have been a huge part of our success as a company – both in making meaningful and lasting connections and in discovering new and inventive industry game-changers.
“While Barcelona is a fine city with many merits, I think the continuity provided by the iGB Affiliate Awards remaining in London and running alongside iGB L!VE will maintain the consistent prestige attached to the event. We look forward to attending and seeing everyone there!” he noted.

Naomi Barton, iGB Events’ Global Portfolio Director, said: “The decision to run the Awards as part of the iGB L!VE experience was made in collaboration with key igaming and affiliate stakeholders, and I am delighted that it has been so warmly welcomed by the affiliate community.”
Barton believes that iGB L!VE’s relocation to London, a city that many regard as being the most influential market in the igaming industry, will provide visitors and exhibitors with access to new markets, new growth opportunities, and new partnerships.
“With an industry that’s growing at an exponential rate, it’s imperative that we scale ahead of the market. By moving iGB L!VE and the iGB Affiliate Awards to ExCeL London we will be able to attract more of the people who are most critical to the future development of the igaming industry,” she concluded.
Clarion Gaming confirmed earlier this month that alongside the migration of iGB L!VE to London in July 2025, the iGB Affiliate Awards will be held alongside the expo. According to Clarion, the decision to run the Awards as part of the iGB L!VE experience was made in collaboration with key igaming and affiliate stakeholders, “with the announcement warmly welcomed by the affiliate community.”
