EGR Operator Awards 2017

The importance of EGR Operator Awards 2017 can be compared with the Oscar Award Ceremony. It appraises the most successful operators and trend-setters in customer service and Fair Play.

This annual event always attracts hundreds of professionals from leading gambling companies around the world. This year, the forum was held on October 26th in London.

It all started at 18.30 with a reception with drinks and dinner. At 21.30, the most important part of the program followed: the awards ceremony.

Operators competed in 30 categories; bookmakers, rising stars, game of the year, affiliates awarding hour, and, of course, operator of the year. Here you are the nominees in the “Operator of the Year” category:

The panel of judges was represented by 22 professionals, among them:

The ceremony was held by Patrick Monahan, the host who has conducted events in Australia, Dubai, Doha, Barbados, Spain, France, Estonia, Ireland and other countries, including a large number of comedy events. In many ways thanks to him, this show was appealing, atmospheric and full of humor.

However, the most important question, of course, was who became the winners. This year, this honor was awarded to bet365, and here is the judging panel’s comment on its choice:

“Phenomenal success in all spheres of business makes it obvious that this operator should become the winner of the year. The “Operator of the Year” award reflects 12 months of the highest revenue and profit growth in the market reached thanks to innovations, changes and their perfect implementation. The company keeps developing its product and interaction with customers from more than 150 countries of the world.”

For each operator, participation in such an important event is honorable, not to mention the victory. EGR is a good goal to look for ways to develop business and achieve high results. And it is SoftGamings that can help you approach this goal with the acquisition of quality software.
