Announcing the shortlists for CEEG Awards 2022 (Central and Eastern European Gaming Awards)
The results of the online voting stage at the CEEG Awards are in, here are the top companies who made it to the shortlists.
The team at Hipther Agency is delighted to announce that the online voting stage for the 2022 edition of the CEEG Awards has ended and the shortlists have been decided by the industry.
For the past two weeks, the industry was invited to vote for their favorite suppliers and operators to determine the top five of each category. During the online voting stage, a grand total of 2741 votes have been submitted and there was quite a battle in some of the categories.
As a result, the top 10 most voted companies in each category have advanced to the shortlists and in some particular cases, there are even more due to the equal number of votes per company.
The final winners in each category are going to be decided by the attending delegates of the Central and Eastern European Gaming Conference (CEEGC) on 16 September in Budapest by a secret voting session at THE RITZ-CARLTON BUDAPEST.
