European iGaming Excellence Awards (EiGE Awards 2025)

The European iGaming Excellence Awards (EiGE Awards) returns for its third edition on the evening of 30 October, once again bringing the spotlight to the brightest stars of the online gambling industry across Europe. After two standout editions, EiGE 2025 promises to be bigger, bolder, and more impactful, continuing its mission to celebrate excellence and innovation.

Set in the vibrant heart of Warsaw, the EiGE Awards will recognize exceptional contributions from across the iGaming ecosystem — including operators, suppliers, testing labs, payment providers, and trailblazing tech innovators.

But EiGE is more than just a trophy night.

It’s where leaders meet visionaries, where achievements spark conversations, and where the future of European iGaming is toasted in style. It’s about community, recognition, and the energy that drives this industry forward.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of celebration and connection —
The EiGE Awards: Where excellence meets recognition. Again. And again. And again.
