MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit 2019

The Presitigous BSG Awards 2022

BSG Awards had been launched in 2019 and the awards ceremony is part of MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit, the leading boutique style gambling industry conference of the Baltic and Scandinavian region. Even at its inaugural edition, BSG Awards has become the most important gaming industry awards in the region.

In 2020, the number of awards has been supplemented with many new exciting award categories being added to the list. A total of 36 award categories are available and we are continuing the the same mission of creating an independent, fair and representative awards event that recognizes significant achievements within the Baltic and Scandinavian gaming industry.

The next edition of the Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards (BSG Awards) will be held on the 12th of May in Vilnius (Lithuania) during the 5th edition of the MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit and aims to reward the hard work of companies (gaming software suppliers, operators and service providers) that are active in the Baltic and Scandinavian region.

To provide a fully transparent process, the final winners of each category are decided by a special voting session during the conference.

*BSG Awards stands for Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards

Past edition echoes (testimonials)

This is a fantastic event and it is sure to establish itself as a must-attend conference in the diary for the online gaming community. Its Baltic and Scandinavian focus, with a careful selection of high-quality speakers on the panels, an amazing location, organizers’ dedication to creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, make it a one-of-a-kind event that proved to be really productive for us. We’re sure to return next year!

Sara Urbanovicova Chief Commercial Officer at Tom Horn Gaming

It was an honor to take part at Mare Balticum Gaming Summit in Riga last week. The agenda and topics were extremely relevant, as demonstrated by the high level of interest and the entire event was very well organised. It was an absolute pleasure to take part in the forum so well attended by regulators, legal experts, industry representatives and operators where ideas and lessons can be shared and learned. I would like to thank the organisers, the individual panels including my distinguished fellow panelists. I hope to be back again as I believe this is an event one should not miss.

Sissel Weitzhandler Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Play'n GO

MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit reconfirmed the Organizers’ efficacy, to bring together the region’s main stakeholders, for structured and multi-faceted interactive discussions. In parallel to the educational aspect, though, it offered the chance of personalized networking, in a relax and unpretentious way. I look already forward to the next edition!

Anastasios (Tassos) Panagiotaros Sales Director at Golden Race – Virtual Sports & Betting Solutions

MBGS was a pearl in the sea of so many conferences around the world. Such interesting panels! Zoltan and Betty did a great job inviting so many relevant people from the industry, regulators, and from governments putting all of them together to discuss regulations, exchanging ideas, and solutions on how different countries regulate the gambling sector. A must-attend event!

Domenico Mazzola Commercial Director at Altenar

I strongly believe that the region – Baltic States and beyond – has been an unfortunate gap in the industry media and events coverage for quite a long time. Zoltan and Betty were bold enough to make the first true dedicated gambling forum in the region and from my experience at Mare Balticum Gaming Summit it turned out to be a very good idea. Smooth organization, accurately selected panels, convenient and cozy venue. A very strong foundation for another successful series of events for the #hipthers

Andrius Gabnys Founder, Attorney at Gabnys.Gabniene

This is a very nice initiative to create and develop such kind of event in the Baltic countries. By working together and establishing a strong base no matter is it compliance or marketing, we build the right environment for the future development of the business and society. Baltics are small but at the same time are very different in many aspects. It's becoming challenging to replicate the previous experience in the new markets and such events are here to help us. Organizational wise - on a very high level. It's hard to say where did we benefit more - from the main event of from the networking parts.
