IAGR announces International Regulatory Award 2023 winners
The Norwegian Gambling Authority, New South Wales Independent Casino Commission (Australia) and Queensland’s Office of Liquor and Gaming (Australia) are the winners in IAGR’s annual awards program, the International Regulatory Awards.
The award winners were announced last night at a Gala Dinner in Gaborone, Botswana during the annual IAGR conference.
The awards aim to recognise exceptional regulators helping drive the industry forward. They were judged by a committee made up of IAGR Trustees and independent stakeholders.
The Norwegian Gambling Authority (NGA) took home the award for Regulatory Excellence 2023 for its exceptional efforts in reducing problem gambling in Norway. With a 50% reduction in individuals with gambling problems since 2019, the NGA’s multi-faceted approach includes stringent measures against illegal operators and meticulous oversight of legal operators.
IAGR Vice President and awards judge, Caroline Kongwa, said that the NGA’s comprehensive strategy and measurable impact make them a model for regulator excellence.
“Their collaborative approach with industry stakeholders shows a commitment to not just enforcing regulations but also to sharing knowledge for the betterment of the global gaming community,” said Kongwa.
The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) in Queensland, Australia won the award for Best Regulatory Campaign 2023 for their campaign aimed at addressing gambling-related harm in Australian First Nations communities.
Developed in collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the campaign successfully increased awareness and reduced stigma around gambling harm.
“The campaign stood out for its co-design process, which ensured cultural sensitivity and effectiveness,” explained Kongwa.
“It’s not just about hitting targets; it’s about meaningful engagement and lasting impact. OLGR has set a new benchmark for culturally nuanced campaigns.”
The NSW Independent Casino Commission (NICC) was the winner of the Regulatory Innovation 2023 award for its innovative approach to casino regulation in New South Wales, Australia.
Established in response to evolving challenges in the casino industry, the NICC’s submission demonstrated agility and effectiveness in its regulatory practices.
“The NICC’s rapid response to emerging challenges and focus on harm minimisation shows that regulatory bodies can be both powerful and agile, adapting quickly to protect both the industry and the public,” said Kongwa.
“On behalf of IAGR, I want to congratulate the three award winners and thank all those who submitted a nomination.
“Your efforts have helped to shine a light on individuals and teams across the globe who work tirelessly to set new standards in regulation in the ever-changing gambling landscape.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY BRINGS LEGENDARY SLOTS IP TO LIVE CASINO WITH GATES OF OLYMPUS ROULETTE
Pragmatic Play, a leading iGaming content supplier, has launched Gates of Olympus Roulette, a live casino experience that merges classic roulette with thrilling slot-action, delivering a game show truly fit for the gods.
Set in a temple-inspired studio with a marble-encased roulette wheel at its centre, the game immerses players in a Grecian fantasy world, complete with striking visuals, dramatic sounds, and charismatic presenters.
Each spin offers the chance to hit a Bonus Number and up to seven Lucky Numbers, carrying multipliers of 50x–250x to boost straight-up bets. The Super Booster feature further amplifies wins by multiplying the Bonus and selected Lucky Numbers 2x–10x, enabling potential payouts of up to 2,500x in the base game and 10,000x in the bonus round.
Landing the Bonus Number triggers the Gates of Olympus bonus game, where Zeus presides over a 6×5 slots grid. Starting with 15 spins, players win whenever 8–12+ matching symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Multipliers up to 500x can strike randomly on any spin or tumble, and three or more scatters award five additional spins.
Following the success of Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, which brought the iconic Sweet Bonanza slot to live casino audiences, Gates of Olympus Roulette underscores Pragmatic Play’s expertise in transforming beloved slot IPs into cross-vertical live experiences. The launch complements recent game show hits like Money Time and Mega Roulette 3000.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said:
“Gates of Olympus Roulette is a spectacular addition to our portfolio, bringing one of our most celebrated IPs into the live casino spotlight. The epic studio design, dynamic roulette-slot fusion, and immersive Grecian theme showcase Pragmatic Play’s commitment to creating truly standout player experiences.”
