Awarded Operators

The AskGamblers Awards are a respected annual ceremony gathering players and industry experts from around the globe in the voting sessions that select the best of the best in the iGaming industry.

In existence since 2017, the AskGamblers Awards are recognised as authentic casino awards among similar industry events, as they are the only awards relying on real player opinions as the primary parameter in nominating and voting for the competing candidates. For this, and many other things, the AskGamblers Awards continually enjoy the reputation of a valued industry authority.

The AskGamblers Awards categories are:

• Best Casino
• Best New Casino
• Best New Slot
• Players' Choice
• Best Provider
• Best Sportsbook
• Best Crypto Casino
• Best Partner
• Best Manager
• Superstar Award

The AskGamblers Awards end in an elegant, entertaining, and luxurious evening – the AskGamblers Awards Night when the winners are announced and celebrated by everyone present.

No recognitions or awards can be staged or bought in the AskGamblers Awards nominations/prizes, as the "Get the truth. Then play." motto lives on as an underlying mantra of AskGamblers since 2006 and does not stand to be compromised.

AskGamblers Awards: Nominations and Voting 

The AskGamblers Awards have three phases: 

• The nomination phase
• The voting phase
• The AskGamblers Awards ceremony

 

The Nomination Phase

The nomination phase is carried out by AskGamblers players who decide on the runner ups in the available categories. 

Nominations last for approximately two months, and the process of nomination is fairly simple. Once the start of the nomination period is announced, the players are encouraged to put their favourites forward in the available categories and potentially help them earn the title of the "Best of the Year". 

In the nominations phase, the available categories are:

• Best Casino 
• Best New Casino 
• Best New Slot
• Best Sportsbook 

As soon as the nominations phase ends and the finalists are chosen, the voting phase begins. Only the top 10 candidates filtered in the nomination phase enter the voting phase.

 

The Voting Phase

Once the ranking of the nominees is drawn up, the top 10 finalists get announced, and the voting phase officially begins.  

The voting phase is split into two stages.

First, players are voting for their favourites within the 10 finalists divided into Best Casino, Best New Casino, Best New Slot, Best Provider, Best Sportsbook and Players' Choice* categories. They now cast a definite vote among the final 10 by clicking “vote” next to the casino or slot displayed on the AskGamblers’ website. This is how they select their favourite in the run, in each category.

Second, three teams of AskGamblers professionals as well as our respected Forum members get included in the voting process to decide on the definitive industry names, each in their category, that will go home with a prize. In the final voting stage, the collective of the players, Forum members and AskGamblers experts’ votes decides on the winners.

NOTE: The Players' Choice* category is a standalone category that lists the best casino based on players’ opinions only.

AskGamblers Awards Charity Night

AskGamblers Awards Charity Night is an event customarily dedicated to raising funds to support charity organisations in need of monetary and/or other support. It takes place a day before the AskGamblers Awards Night, and it’s a separate gala affair of its own.

The Charity gathers industry professionals for networking opportunities and fun, lined with a united goal - to raise money that will later be donated to those less fortunate. 

Thanks to our partners, AskGamblers has managed to raise sustainable amounts of money for charity throughout the years. Last year, with our joint efforts, we donated €106,500 to HISBAS, a non-profit organisation aiming to improve and protect the health and quality of life of children with spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

The 8th AskGamblers Awards 

The 8th AskGamblers Awards continue to follow the already-established stages of the Awards. During the ceremony, we hand out awards for the Best Crypto Casino, Best Partner and Best Manager. These are determined by our AskGamblers team solely without the participation from players and Forum members. 

As of 2025, AskGamblers has introduced the Superstar Award. During the ceremony we’ll hand it out to one operator which best represents the values of our brand.

The winners will be announced in June 2025. Additional information concerning The 8th AskGamblers Awards will be promptly updated on our website. Follow us to stay up to date.
