The global results of the Blask Awards 2025 mark a decisive shift in how leadership is defined in the iGaming industry. Instead of juries, submissions or sponsorship packages, the awards rely entirely on data, measuring real demand, competitive strength and scalable performance across regulated markets worldwide.

At the center of this year’s global rankings stands Betano, which emerged as the most consistently dominant licensed operator across multiple continents. But the broader picture is more complex: a market where leadership fragments by region, speed of growth matters as much as scale, and games increasingly outperform brands in cross-border reach.

“Data is the jury,” said Max Tesla, co-founder and CEO of Blask. “In Blask Awards, brands don’t compete with those who submitted a form, they compete with the entire market”

Global operator rankings

Across worldwide categories, Betano claimed a commanding share of top honors:

• Leader of the Blask Year, awarded to the operator with the highest total number of Blask Awards in 2025
• Top CEB Performer, recognizing the strongest aggregate revenue baseline across regulated markets
• Blask Index Leader, reflecting the highest cumulative demand across licensed geographies
• Demand Surge of the Year, for the single largest 30-day demand increase recorded globally

Other global distinctions highlight how varied leadership has become:

• Fastest-Growing Brand: MrQ, posting the strongest year-over-year growth in demand
• Baseline Breakout: LakiWin, delivering the fastest increase in revenue baseline
• Top #1 Footprint: betPawa, holding the largest number of #1 market positions globally
• The Monopolist: Singapore Pools, achieving the single highest market power concentration in a regulated market

Together, the results show that global leadership is no longer defined by size alone. Momentum, efficiency and consistency increasingly matter as much as footprint.

Games and providers: global reach beats local borders

If operator leadership fragments by geography, games tell a different story.

In provider and game categories, Pragmatic Play dominated the global rankings, driven by the extraordinary reach of Gates of Olympus 1000, which won: Operator Footprint Champion, Lobby Legend, Slot of the Year

Pragmatic Play also secured Largest Catalog Provider and Full-Shelf Takeover, reflecting unmatched breadth and distribution.

Other game-level winners highlight emerging dynamics:

• Game Demand Leader: Chicken Road by InOut Games
• Breakout Game of the Year: Roulette European by 7777 gaming
  Crash Game of the Year: Aviator by Spribe

Unlike operators, games increasingly scale globally, with player preferences converging across continents.

A different kind of award — and a long-term play

Blask Awards operate without applications, fees, sponsorships or jury voting. Winners are identified algorithmically, using Blask’s proprietary metrics — including Blask Index, BAP and CEB — across regulated markets only.

“This isn’t about trophies,” Tesla said. “It’s about creating a shared, verifiable language for the industry: one where anyone can open the data and see why a brand won. We’re not stopping here. Each year, the coverage gets wider, the benchmarks sharper, and the comparison fairer.”

Pronet Gaming concluded a highly successful presence at ICE Barcelona 2026, marking three dynamic days of brand storytelling and industry connection as the company unveiled its refreshed corporate identity to the global iGaming community.

ICE provided an ideal platform to reinforce Pronet Gaming’s position as a performance-driven B2B partner focused on growth, localisation, and solutions built through a real B2C operator lens. This was reflected in strong foot traffic and sustained engagement at the Pronet Gaming stand, which became a central hub for conversations with long-standing partners and new contacts from across regulated markets.

Unveiled in the weeks leading up to ICE, the refreshed brand is not a visual reset for its own sake, but a reflection of how Pronet Gaming has evolved as a business. As the company continues to support operators across increasingly competitive and regulated markets, the new identity brings greater clarity to its role as a performance-led partner.

The brand reinforces a simple principle: platforms perform best when they are built, optimised, and supported with the end player firmly in mind. This player-first thinking informs everything from product design and localisation to commercial decision-making and long-term growth strategy.

Pronet Gaming’s core product suite, including Casino, Sportsbook, and BetX Pro, was showcased as part of a fully integrated ecosystem designed to help operators launch efficiently and scale with confidence. BetX Pro, in particular, generated strong interest among attendees, with operators drawn to its peer-to-peer betting model, flexible configuration, and ability to support differentiated betting experiences in competitive markets. The refreshed brand helps articulate this holistic approach more clearly – aligning product, technology, and service under a single performance narrative.

A standout feature of the stand was the ProSaber VR activation. Beyond attracting crowds, the activation served as a conversation starter around immersion, user experience, and engagement – the same principles that underpin Pronet Gaming’s platform development and optimisation. Complementing the on-stand activity, signature cocktails, and premium giveaways helped create a welcoming and memorable environment that encouraged high-quality discussions beyond the usual show-floor pace.

ICE Barcelona also provided a timely platform to reinforce Pronet Gaming’s ongoing expansion across Asia. Since entering the region in 2024, the company has focused on deep localisation, regulatory alignment, and adapting platform functionality to local player behaviour. The refreshed brand provides a flexible, modern framework that scales across diverse markets while maintaining a clear performance focus.

Commenting on the event, Alex Leese, CEO of Pronet Gaming, said: “Our refreshed brand is a clearer expression of how we already work with operators. It’s rooted in performance, shaped by real B2C experience, and designed to support platforms that need to grow in complex, localised markets. Launching our new website and brand just before ICE gave us the perfect stage to show that story, and the conversations we had over the three days confirmed it’s resonating.”

As ICE Barcelona 2026 comes to a close, Pronet Gaming thanks everyone who visited the stand, joined the conversations, and helped make the event such a success. The team now looks ahead with strong momentum, continuing to build on its foundations across established and emerging markets, and preparing for the next chapter of growth alongside its partners.
