International Game Technology PLC announced that it won the “Diversity and Inclusion” category at the 2024 Women in Gaming (WIG) Diversity Awards last week in London. The annual awards program recognizes individuals and organizations for their outstanding commitment to enhancing diversity, equality, and inclusion within the gaming industry. This marks the second year in a row that IGT has been recognized in the same category.
“Winning the ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ category at the WIG Diversity Awards for the second consecutive year reinforces IGT’s standing as a leading workplace committed to embodying a culture of empowerment for all colleagues globally,” said Brian Blake, IGT Vice President, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “We are passionate about embedding equality across all facets of our organization and will continue to raise the standard of excellence in the gaming industry, inspiring our employees, stakeholders and community partners.”
Since IGT created its Office of Diversity & Inclusion in 2018, the Company has executed various programs, policies, and systems that have promoted multiple dimensions of diversity, equity, and inclusion. These include facilitating mandatory and elective employee training courses that support the Company’s anti-discrimination commitments, implementing more inclusive and equitable hiring processes, and offering competitive benefits for same-sex partners.
IGT has also expanded its global roadmap for its employee-led and executive-sponsored employee impact groups, which include the Women’s Inclusion Network (WIN), ACE (Employees of African descent), PRIDE (LGBTQ+), Wealth of Wisdom (employees 50+), NEXGEN (millennial and Gen Z employees), Military at IGT (supporting those who have served), SuperAbilities (empowering people with disabilities), and Well-Being at IGT (mental health).

Frogo has won the “Anti-Fraud Innovation of the Year” award at the SiGMA Central Europe B2B Awards 2025. The award recognizes companies that are redefining how businesses approach risk, security and operational transparency.
Unlike traditional systems focused on blocking individual cases of fraud, Frogo’s approach is built around strategic prevention and real-time decision support. The platform helps businesses to understand their data, predict potential risks and act before losses occur. It combines artificial intelligence, behavioral analytics, graph-based forensics and – most importantly – deep industry expertise in a single environment that enables teams to identify fraud patterns and adapt instantly to changing traffic or threat dynamics.
“We’ve always seen fraud prevention as more than a reactive process,” said Volodymyr Todurov, CEO at Frogo. “Our goal is to help companies think strategically about risk, to build systems that recognize patterns, not just red flags. That’s what makes prevention sustainable.”
The SiGMA jury highlighted Frogo’s ability to balance automation with flexibility, allowing companies across sectors such as iGaming, fintech and e-commerce to maintain both security and user trust. Businesses using Frogo can automate complex fraud checks, reduce operational noise and focus on making informed, timely decisions rather than manual investigations.

Global crypto entertainment brand BC.GAME has been named “Best Crypto Casino 2025” at the SiGMA Central Europe B2C Awards, held this year in Rome. The result has been published via SiGMA’s official channels and industry media, with BC.GAME listed among the winners in the cryptocasino operator category.
As part of the SiGMA Central Europe 2025 event in early November, the B2C Awards focused on operators that have shown notable performance in online entertainment and sports betting over the past year. The “Best CryptoCasino 2025” category is specifically dedicated to platforms built around crypto assets as a core feature of their offering.
According to award-related communications and public review sources, BC.GAME’s recognition is linked to its integration of crypto payments, multi-vertical product line-up and ongoing development in Web3-oriented use cases. Several third-party reviews have highlighted BC.GAME as a representative example of a platform that supports multiple cryptocurrencies, combines casino and sports content, and designs features with on-chain users in mind.
BC.GAME noted that the award serves as a form of interim feedback on the platform’s long-term commitment to the crypto segment. The company plans to continue improving the user experience around crypto payments, cross-device product performance and content operations, while expanding sports and esports-related partnerships in markets where such activities are permitted by local regulation.
As a crypto-native operator, BC.GAME incorporates mechanisms such as provably fair verification into its product design and combines these with a native token and promotional structures to deliver an integrated casino and sports experience for crypto community users. With continued nominations and awards within the SiGMA framework and other international programmes, BC.GAME is increasingly regarded as a long-term player in the crypto entertainment vertical.
