How is iGaming Idol different from other award shows in the industry?
It is a unique award show in a number of ways:
- It’s the first award show in the iGaming industry to exclusively recognize individuals, not companies or projects, which is open to all genders and with its categories covering almost all parts of a typical online gaming operation.
- It’s the first award show in the industry, where nominees will have to prove themselves in front of a panel of judges.
- It’s the first award show where only iGaming employees based in Malta can enter.
- It’s the first award show in the iGaming industry to be organised locally, by a Maltese registered Company and Malta based Shareholders.
Who is the target audience for iGaming Idol?
iGaming Idol is first and foremost for talented employees of online gaming operators, who are based here in Malta and believe they have what it takes to become an iGaming Idol.
It is also an award show, where you can nominate a colleague or manager if you think this person deserves the recognition of iGaming Idol.
It’s definitely also an event where companies in the industry can join as a sponsor and get premium exposure to the top talent on the island, not to mention the pride and bragging rights should an employee win and become an iGaming Idol.
