Playtech, Dragonfish, Microgaming, Evolution star at EGR B2B Awards

Playtech, Dragonfish, Evolution Gaming and Microgaming headed the honours list at the inaugural eGR B2B Awards held in London last night, all taking home awards in more than one category.

Playtech led the field with two awards in its own name and for its recently acquired Virtue Fusion bingo business. The supplier dominated the poker categories, edging out Microgaming, GTECH G2 and Ongame to lift the poker software and poker network of the year awards, the panel of judges praising its “proven commitment to improving their poker product” and its “strong liquidity and portfolio of licensees.” Virtue Fusion then won out in the tough bingo software supplier category, with Dragonfish, NYX and Parlay narrowly missing out.

Dragonfish beat off fierce competition from Betsson Business Solutions, Centrebet, GTECH G2 and NeoGames Network to lift the coveted white label partner prize in front of a packed auditorium at London’s Old Billingsgate Market. 888’s B2B arm also edged out Virtue Fusion and Microgaming to win the prestigious bingo network of the year award.

Microgaming however fought off Playtech, Net Entertainment and Wagerworks to lift the coveted RNG casino supplier trophy. The Isle of Man-based provider then topped off a fine night by beating mobile specialists Probability, Mfuse, Mobenga and Wagerworks to the mobile supplier of the year prize, via its Spin 3 mobile subsidiary.

Evolution Gaming topped off winning in its core live casino supplier category by lifting the final award of the night, for software/network rising star of the year, judges calling its entry “category defining.”

The hard-fought innovation in sports betting software award went to white label sportsbook supplier EveryMatrix, which judges said “had changed sports betting” by “allowing customers to come into the market in a way which wasn’t previously possible.”
