Since its launch in 2017, the independently adjudicated GRAs has become the biggest of its kind, and continues to grow as the industry moves towards a stronger culture of compliance.
VIXIO would like to thank this year’s awards sponsors: Bally’s Interactive, BetConstruct, Docaposte, DraftKings, Fortuna Entertainment Group, GiG Comply, Playtech and San Manuel Tribal Gaming Commission, as well as our charity partner YGAM. Without the continued support from our sponsors and partners, the Global Regulatory Awards would not have been the success that it continues to be.
Mike Woolfrey, CEO of VIXIO, said: “Congratulations to all our winners. This year the standard was exceptionally high, so winning an award really is a clear demonstration of a dedication towards regulatory compliance and safer gambling. VIXIO is proud to provide a platform to showcase the great work going on within the industry. We were delighted to see that guests from across the globe joined us last night, a true testament to the industry’s recovery following the pandemic.”

Businesses can now obtain licenses for organising and conducting gambling activities online through the Diia portal, without paper documents or in-person interaction with the state, according to a statement by PlayCity, the state agency regulating Ukraine’s gambling and lottery market.
According to the release, applications can be generated in the Diia electronic cabinet and signed using a qualified electronic signature (QES). Some data will be automatically retrieved from state registries, including information about the company, its owners and beneficiaries.
PlayCity will review submitted applications, and applicants will receive decisions on license issuance or refusal online via Diia.
Companies will be able to apply for licenses covering casino operations, bookmaking, slot machine halls, online poker, as well as B2B services in the gambling sector.
Acting Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Borniakov said on Telegram that the ministry, together with PlayCity, has also prepared amendments to sector-specific legislation aimed at strengthening entry checks for companies in terms of reputation, integrity, ownership structure and absence of ties to the aggressor state.
“Our goal is to create a transparent and controlled market in which digital tools ensure both convenience for businesses and trust in the state,” Borniakov said.

Amusnet is entering the North American market after securing a Gaming-Related Supplier–Manufacturer Registration from the AGCO in Ontario, Canada, marking a strategic milestone in the group’s global expansion.
Licensing grants Amusnet access to Ontario’s regulated iGaming market, which is one of the most established and fast-growing jurisdictions in North America, known for its robust regulatory framework and strong long-term growth potential.
It will allow the supplier to offer online gaming content to licensed operators in the province, officially establishing its presence in the region. Amusnet will initially roll out its iGaming portfolio, with the option to expand into Land-based solutions at a later stage.
Ontario’s regulatory framework emphasises strict compliance, ensuring that all suppliers adhere to high standards in technology, security and player protection. This makes Ontario a key benchmark market for companies entering North America. The new registration further confirms that Amusnet has successfully met these rigorous requirements for integrity and regulatory compliance, enabling it to distribute its content across the province.
“Securing the AGCO licence is an important milestone for Amusnet and reflects our long-term commitment to operating in fully regulated markets. Our entry into Ontario represents a key strategic step into North America, which is a high-priority region with strong long-term growth potential. We look forward to partnering with local operators and building a sustainable presence in the market,” said Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Amusnet.
