The 8th AskGamblers Awards Kick Off With Nominations
The 8th annual AskGamblers Awards have officially started. All AskGamblers players can now nominate their favourite casinos, new casinos, sportsbooks and online slots to help them reach the next phase and eventually win one of the prestigious awards.
On 10 February 2025, the nomination phase for the 8th AskGamblers Awards officially commenced. All players registered on AskGamblers can nominate their favourite operators and slots in four categories: Best Casino, Best New Casino, Best New Slot and Best Sportsbook.
The nominations will last until 28 April 2025 when the voting stage begins. Players will continue to vote for operators and games that made the cut. In addition to the four categories, the players will also have a chance to vote for the Best Provider, while the casino with the most player votes will receive the Players’ Choice Award.
This year, our Forum members will have a vote in specific categories, helping AskGamblers experts and players determine the best of the best.
As for the awards assigned by our AskGamblers team solely, they include: Best Crypto Casino, Best Partner and Best Manager. For this year’s event, we’ve introduced the Superstar Award – a crown achievement handed out to one operator that best represents the values of our brand.
Traditionally, the AskGamblers Awards end with two live events. One is the annual Charity Night and the other is a gala ceremony where the winners will be announced in a live show.
Dijana Radunović, General Manager at AskGamblers, said this about the 8th AskGamblers Awards: “This year’s AskGamblers Awards brings exciting changes and new categories, and we’ll hand out 10 different awards! Also, we’re thrilled about including our Forum members in the voting stage as we truly value the community they’ve helped us build.”
“Nominations are always unpredictable, especially with new operators making the shortlist each year. We can’t wait to see who will take home the awards this year! Regardless of the outcome, we’re incredibly proud of organising the AskGamblers Awards, the Charity Night and the live ceremony. We want to invite you to nominate your favourites and be a part of one of the biggest events in the iGaming industry,” added Radunović.
The gala event is scheduled for 12 June 2025 in Belgrade, Serbia.

Anti-Fraud Innovation of the Year
Frogo Wins “Anti-Fraud Innovation of the Year” at SiGMA Central Europe 2025

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.
