During the 2025 SiGMA Asia Summit, the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific, co-hosted by Gambling Insider and Gaming America, was grandly unveiled in Manila, becoming a highlight of the summit. The organizers held a grand luncheon during the ceremony, gathering industry elites to recognize companies and individuals who have excelled in the Asia-Pacific gaming industry.
Mariya Savova, the head of the Global Gaming Awards project, stated: "Warm congratulations to all the winners and nominees. Your demonstrated innovation, leadership, and professional dedication are key forces driving the continuous development of the Asia-Pacific gaming industry."
She also emphasized the special significance of Manila as the venue for this Asia-Pacific award. "The Philippines is one of the fastest-growing and most promising gaming markets in Asia, showing strong growth momentum in both physical and online gaming sectors."
Savova added that this year's selection attracted widespread attention and active participation, and the organizers sincerely thank all participants and supporters.
The Global Gaming Awards are regarded as one of the most credible and authoritative awards in the global gaming industry, held annually in the Asia-Pacific, Americas, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions. The awards focus on corporate performance with strict criteria, committed to fairly and impartially recognizing industry leaders.
This year's shortlist was finalized after extensive research by the Gambling Insider professional team, independent reviews by industry experts, and self-nomination material review. The final judging was completed by a professional jury of over 30 senior managers from the Asia-Pacific region. The entire voting process was independently audited by KPMG, a British Royal Territory accounting firm, to ensure the fairness and transparency of the results.
Industry representatives participating in this year's review include: Joe Pisano, founder and CEO of Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies, Cheryl Tiglao, Slot Director at Hann Casino Resort, Shirley Tam, Chief Casino Marketing Officer at INSPIRE Entertainment Resort, and Betty Zhao, Senior Vice President of International Operations at Aruze Gaming Global, among other notable figures.
The organizers especially thank KPMG, all jurors, premium partners BetConstruct, and the SiGMA Asia organizing team for their support, as well as other cooperating companies such as Interblock, GR8 Tech, Aristocrat Gaming, SPRIBE, 1xBet, DSTGAMING, Pronet Gaming, UPlatform, Z-Gaming Asia, and BET88 for sponsoring this event.
