Blask Awards 2025: Betano, Bet365, Betway and others lead global iGaming

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.”

wazdan-partners-with-bet365-for-exclusive-pre-launch-of-magic-fruit$:-oranges

Wazdan, the award-winning gain-focused game developer, has entered a strategic partnership with bet365, appointing the operator as the exclusive pre-launch partner for its upcoming slot, Magic Fruit$: Oranges.

Through this collaboration, bet365 will be the first operator to offer the game to players prior to its global release, demonstrating both the strength of the partnership and confidence in Wazdan’s expanding portfolio of performance-driven titles.

Magic Fruit$: Oranges delivers a contemporary take on the classic fruit slot theme, featuring a clean, accessible layout combined with retention-oriented mechanics designed to encourage sustained engagement rather than one-off gameplay sessions.

The game includes a bonus round built around a familiar respin format, enhanced by Wazdan’s proprietary Cash Infinity™ mechanic, which increases excitement and potential rewards throughout the feature. Players can also utilise a Cash Out option in the base game for an added payout opportunity, alongside the chance to hit mini, minor, and major jackpots.

This exclusive pre-launch with bet365 forms part of a wider strategic collaboration between the two companies. The early release is designed to maximise visibility and gather early performance insights ahead of the game’s rollout to additional regulated markets.

Wazdan’s portfolio is currently available on bet365 across multiple regulated jurisdictions in Europe and Latin America, reflecting the provider’s compliance across various frameworks, scalability of its products, and the long-term nature of its partnership with one of the world’s leading operators.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said:

“Launching Magic Fruit$: Oranges in an exclusive pre-release window with bet365 marks another milestone in our partnership.

“bet365’s position as one of the world’s most established operators makes it a strong platform for introducing new titles to players and generating early performance insight ahead of wider distribution.”

Paul Cumbo, Head of Gaming – UK and Europe at bet365, added:

“Securing the exclusive pre-launch of Magic Fruit$: Oranges reflects the strength of our relationship with Wazdan and our shared focus on delivering new, engaging content to players across regulated markets. Wazdan’s portfolio continues to perform strongly within our offering, and this early release provides an opportunity to introduce the title to players ahead of its global rollout.”

The supplier license enables BETER to provide its quick-betting content, featuring live streams and live data, to licensed operators in the state for the first time, which includes its exclusive ESportsBattle tournaments and Setka Cup table tennis series.

Both are currently active with the tier-one operator bet365, which has been a long-term partner of BETER.

BETER holds certifications in North Carolina, New Jersey, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, and Colorado as well.

BETER provides round-the-clock live streaming, instantaneous data, and highly precise odds for over 700,000 rapid events each year, offering as many as 50 markets per event with an average operator margin exceeding 7.5%.

Its esports portfolio features ESportsBattle tournaments that showcase eFootball, eBasketball, eHockey, and eTennis, and its sports portfolio includes the Setka Cup series along with the BSKT Cup basketball league.

Gal Ehrlich, CEO of BETER, said: “Securing regulatory approval in Arizona is a pivotal moment in our ongoing US expansion strategy. This marks our seventh state, and we are incredibly proud to continue our trajectory of growth in one of the world’s most dynamic betting markets.

“Our mission has always been to provide operators with the most reliable, high-velocity content available, and receiving the green light from the regulator is a testament to the integrity and quality of our offering.

“We are thrilled to kick off this journey with bet365 and look forward to bringing our industry-leading esports and sports content to even more Arizona players in the near future.”

Valeriia Tarchynska, Chief Legal Officer at BETER, added: “We are proud to announce that we have successfully completed the process of obtaining the Event Wagering Supplier License in the state of Arizona.

The process took us a total of eight months and was one of the most challenging journeys for our team. However, thanks to the dedication and expertise of our legal and integrity teams, we successfully navigated it.

This milestone strengthens our commitment to delivering reliable, compliant, and transparent products to our clients.

“We continue to actively work on securing regulatory approvals in key jurisdictions, including Ohio, Kentucky, and Illinois, among others.”
