Two standout live casinos online won awards at this year’s 2022 EGR Operators awards held in London UK. We also saw Pragmatic Play win a Game of the Year award, and 888Casino as well as 888Poker take down awards. We also saw the emergence of Stake.com, nominated in the recent SBC 2022 Awards, win the brand-new Cryptocurrency operator of the year category.
I did look back, and we didn’t officially cover the 2022 EGR Operators award shortlist. However, as you would expect from any EGR event, all the big-name operators were vying for awards.
Some of the notable brands on those shortlists but did not win an award include Paddy Power Bingo, LeoVegas, Parimatch, Genesis Global, Casumo, Inspired Entertainment, Playtech, Swintt, Rootz Ltd, Evolution, NetBet and more.
As for the event itself, it took place on the evening of 27 October in London. The venue was the JW Marriot Grosvenor House, which is in the prestigious area of Mayfair. The hotel is situated right next to Hyde Park, and just a stone’s throw away from the West End where you will find casinos such as the Hippodrome and Grosvenor Casino establishments, which are home to Evolution dual play live roulette tables.
Check out the winners’ lists: Below you will see all 4 categories for his year’s event—‘Headline Category Awards’, ‘Operator Category Awards’, ‘General Category Awards’ and ‘Affiliate Category Awards’.
