EGT Philippines’ Mariana Manchina wins Rising Star at 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards

EGT Digital also takes Best iGaming Supplier at the September 15 ceremony held as part of IAG Expo.

EGT Philippines Regional Director Mariana Manchina has been named “Rising Star” at the 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards, the company said. The award was presented at a ceremony held on September 15 as part of IAG Expo.

According to the company, the “Rising Star” distinction places Manchina in the competition’s Hall of Fame categories, which recognize individuals for contributions to the Asia-Pacific gaming industry. Manchina said: "I am very proud to take this accolade. I would like to congratulate the other winners and thank the organizers of the event, our clients and partners, without whose invaluable support our success tonight would not have been possible. Last but not least, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my incredible colleagues, together with whom we have accomplished all these achievements."

EGT Digital also received an award at the same event, winning Best iGaming Supplier. The company attributed the recognition to its iGaming portfolio, including the modular platform X-Nave and its in-house developed casino games.

EGT added that earlier this year EGT Philippines obtained Game Aggregator and Game Content Provider licenses from regulator PAGCOR, enabling it to supply EGT Digital’s products to licensed operators in the Philippines.

The IAG Academy IR Awards are held annually as part of IAG Expo. This year’s edition included 26 industry categories and three special Hall of Fame categories, according to the company.
