15 Online Casino of the Year Winners

Awards season isn’t just a grand affair for the film industry, it’s also the highlight of the year for the online gaming industry, with fierce competition to come out on top in terms of games, promotions, user experience and originality. And if you want to know who’s the best in show, checking out who bagged ‘Casino of the Year’ is a good place to start!

The 3 main awards events for iGaming are the International Gaming Awards (IGA, since 2008), the e-Gaming Review (eGR) Awards (since 2010) and the Global Gaming Awards (GGA, since 2014). While they all have slightly different criteria for judging ‘Casino of the Year’, they generally look for excellence in areas such as style, originality, brand identity, usability and games offered.

So without further ado, and in no particular order, let’s check out 15 online casinos that have been awarded ‘Casino of the Year’!

#1 32RED

Another red themed brand familiar to many football fans, 32Red’s Affiliate link claim to awards fame came in 2011 when they bagged eGR’s Casino Operator of the Year, which they promptly followed up with IGA’s Online Casino Operator of the Year in 2012.

#2 Mr Green

Sick of red yet? A relative late-comer to the scene, Mr Green’s arrival in 2007 marked a number of firsts in the industry, including the first to offer games from multiple providers, and the first to offer a single wallet system. In similar fashion, Mr Green is the only online casino to win tops for 3 consecutive years: IGA’s Online Casino Operator of the Year 2013, 2014and 2015.

#3 LeoVegas

Another relative late-comer, LeoVegas entered the iGaming fray in 2011, but thanks to their keen eye on the mobile gaming trend, it didn’t take long for them to hit the dizzying heights of gaming awards stardom, pocketing IGA’s Online Casino Operator of the Year in 2016 and 2017.

#4 Mansion

In addition to being a familiar English Premier League football sponsor, you may also remember Mansion for sponsoring a Guinness World Record bid for the longest DJ relay mix (12 hours!) back in 2012. Their gaming experience extends back to 2003 and their persistence finally paid off in 2018 when they were awarded IGA’s Casino Operator of the Year.

#5 Bet365

Far from a one-hit wonder, Bet365’s record sheet is peppered with as many awards as Australian branch sponsor Samuel L. Jackson’s characters have sprayed bullets. The green, white and yellow themed footy sponsor has the following awards in its trophy cabinet: eGR Operator of the Year 2010 and 2017, GGA Digital Operator of the Year 2015, 2017 and 2018.
