GiG cleaned up at iGaming Idol 2018Reading Time: 3 minutes

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) smashed it at this year’s iGaming Idol Awards hosted in Malta at the Intercontinental Hotel, St.Julian’s  – with employees winning four awards and GiG also receiving the prestigious Employer Branding of the Year title. In total, GiG finalists featured in nine out of 20 categories, demonstrating that the talented people who are part of GiG shine brightly within the industry.

 

From start to finish, GiG repeatedly broke records in this year’s iGaming Idol Awards process. From the get go, GiG’s people received the highest number of nominations out of all participating companies and with over 20 of their GiGsters reaching the second round of judging and nine becoming finalists,  it was bound to be a night of epic celebratory proportions for GiG.

Mikael Angman, GiG’s COO, said before the event: “We’ve already broken iGaming Idol records, and have set the benchmark to beat for companies next year. Our senior leadership team couldn’t be prouder of every single nominee. And tonight we have nine very deserving finalists representing everyone at GiG’s hard work, commitment and teamwork. So whether we go on to win or to place, we’re already winners!”

The first winner for them of the night was for SEO Idol of the Year, and their Copenhagen based Milorad Matejic, followed by Malta based Anthony Cabrera for VIP Idol of the Year. Next up was Marbella based finalist, Maria Mora, for Design & User Experience Idol of the Year. One of the most entertaining acceptance speeches by far, came from GiG’s Roger Admeus, all the way from Marbella, winning Sales Idol of the Year – who had the audience in the palm of his hands with his charming yet cheeky salesman’s banter.

Fast forwarding through other categories and deserving winners, the Employer Branding of the Year category was announced, and GiG scooped this award too! Having recently undergone a ground up approach to a company rebranding, hot on the heels of a strong 2017 as a business, GiG have created a harmonised and visually stunning branding that instills confidence and consistency in their brand. As with any award, there is usually a team of people behind the winner, and this award is no different.

Achieving recognition of GiG’s employer brand would not have been possible without a plethora of teams working around the clock, and with the greatest of commitment to aligning messages, consistency and hiring the best talent to make it happen.

The first thing you notice about GiG’s Employer Brand is the stunning graphics and visuals which the Creative team owns, and is used across their social media platforms and internal / external channels and for their products. Then you have HR, Talent & Acquisition, Events, PR, Internal Communications, B2B/B2C Communications, GiG Gives and Knowledge teams creating the foundation for content and ideas, the topics to talk about, the events and campaigns to engage GiGsters and prospective colleagues in the GiG brand.

Sometimes people can forget the teams that work quietly behind the scenes, with more practical roles which create the bedrock of GiGster life, which without them their days would grind to a halt –  and that’s the Kitchen teams, Corporate IT, Office Admin, Facilities and the Barista or coffee machines in each office. These teams ensure the smooth running of the offices, keeping everyone’s energy and spirits up with nutritional and tasty foods, simplifying processes and ensuring quick solutions.

Robin Reed, GiG’s CEO, congratulated his teams by saying: “Every finalist was deserving of an award for their hard work and contributions to their companies. I couldn’t be prouder of our four individual winners, or of the Employer Branding award – which has a huge collective of people working on every aspect of it behind the scenes. Congratulations to all of you!”

The SOFTSWISS booth became a nexus for clients, partners, and industry professionals, sparking new connections and fueling discussions on the latest trends. Among the highlights was the unveiling of the iGaming Trends Report 2025, offering a forward-looking analysis of the industry’s trajectory. Positioned as the ‘mother of all conferences’, SiGMA Europe proved the ideal stage for the report’s launch, with all 27,000 attendees able to grant complimentary access to this vital resource.

“iGaming is growing at a rapid pace, and for many, the main challenge is to keep up with this growth. SOFTSWISS takes a much broader view in this regard: it is important for us to understand where iGaming is heading and anticipate trends in order to strengthen our leadership positions,” said Vitali Matsukevich, COO at SOFTSWISS.

Before the expo officially opened, SOFTSWISS was honoured as the Best Platform Provider at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2024. This accolade is a testament to the company’s commitment to delivering robust, innovative technology solutions that empower iGaming operators worldwide.

One of the event’s most highly anticipated discussions, “How to Choose a Secure and Safe Crypto Casino,” featured Vitali Matsukevich among its expert panellists.

Casino Guru and Mindway AI advance RG self-test game in time for SGW24

Casino Guru, the leading online casino database and a champion of informed play in the gambling industry, continues to build upon its responsible gambling partnership with Mindway AI, a prominent RG tech and solutions provider focusing on offering actionable real-time insight into consumer gambling behavior, by launching the revised campaign focused on the Gamalyze self-assessment game, in time for Safer Gambling Week 2024 (SGW24).
The game, a reinvention of the self-test, is a card game that allows players to analyze their own gambling habits through engaging and anonymous play. Thanks to a dedicated widget that welcomes players on the home page, the game is available directly on Casino Guru’s website and is also featured as “Game of the Week.”
To help further improve this year’s reach, Casino Guru has teamed up with several casino partners, including CasinoFriday, Shotz, Roman Casino, giving players the opportunity to explore the game while gaining deeper insights into their own gambling habits.
Casino Guru has reached out to subscribers with additional details about the campaign, aiming to significantly expand its impact and raise awareness among a larger audience.
Previous campaign iterations received 1,800 gameplays each, and Casino Guru is now determined to improve on this milestone.
Šimon Vincze, Casino Guru’s Head of Sustainable & Safer Gambling, shared the following: “I am excited about this year’s upgrade to the campaign and can’t wait to see the results. Together with Niamh from Mindway AI, we were looking for ways to attract more people to play the game and learn more about the risks involved as a natural part of their gambling experience. The upgrades we introduced are promising, and we are confident we can increase the numbers significantly.”
Once the self-test game is completed, Mindway AI provides players with detailed feedback on their gameplay, and analyze certain behavioral markers, such as how players respond to rewards and losses, the frequency of their wins and how risky their gambling behavior is.
Ultimately, the assessment seeks to improve people’s understanding of their own risk-taking behavior, and what they can learn from it. Both companies are dedicated to bringing the concept of safer gambling to the forefront of players’ awareness, and this innovative collaboration allows them to achieve this goal in a creative and enjoyable manner.
To access the widget and test your gambling style, head over to Casino Guru’s home page and click on the widget in the upper right corner of the screen, or check the “Game of the Week,” which will feature Gamalyze throughout SGW24.
Casino Guru and Mindway AI first introduced the campaign several years ago, boosting its reach in a player-centric way in time for SGW24.
