Here’s all you need to know about the 2023 American Gambling Awards.
To be eligible for any of the 12 awards categories, your company must meet the following criteria during the judging period:
Organizations and individuals may nominate themselves or be nominated by someone else. No anonymous submissions will be accepted.
Nominations should focus exclusively on the judging period from July 2022-June 2023.
Please note that affiliates are not eligible for any American Gambling Awards categories.
Final nominations are due through the website portal no later than midnight EST on August 21, 2023.
The judging period for the 2023 American Gambling Awards is from July 2022-June 2023. Nominations should focus on activity from this 12-month period and provide supporting evidence for this period only.
The judging period was chosen to allow nominees with publicly traded securities to rely on already published financial information. By the nomination deadline, virtually all companies subject to the rules of a recognized stock exchange will have reported their financial results through Q2 2023. Such companies should use such figures when completing their nominations.
There is no cost to enter the American Gambling Awards.
Nominations will be treated as strictly confidential and only shared with the people required to evaluate the nominations, on a need-to-know basis. This includes representatives of Gambling.com who are organizing the awards program.
Our judges will be assessing each entry against the specific judging criteria outlined for each category.
Scale is important but only one of the judging criteria. Judges will put considerable emphasis on metrics, however, they will also consider significant differentiation and improvements/contributions to the industry.
For all categories, the judging period is from July 2022-June 2023. Nominations should focus on this 12-month period and provide supporting evidence for this period only.
Judges will rank entries in each category (1 and 2, with 1 being the strongest entry) based on their opinion of the strength of the overall submission. The entry with the most 1 rankings will be the winner and ties will be broken using 2 rankings.
Judges will not be required to vote in every category and will be asked to abstain where their experience is not relevant, or they have a conflict of interest.
Focus on providing examples and metrics that support each aspect of the criteria for the specific category you are entering. Ensure that the figures and comments you supply are specifically for the judging period, which runs from July 2022-June 2023. Nominations which focus on this period only will have the best chance of success.
The more information you can provide, the stronger your nomination will be. We understand that not all nominees will be able to share all their available data, but we encourage all nominees to provide what they can. Publicly traded companies should have ready access to such information and should only highlight information which is already in the public domain.
Yes, organizations or individuals may submit a nomination for multiple categories. However, only one entry will be accepted per company/organization/individual per category. Multiple company entries in a single category will be reconciled with company representatives identified in the submitted nominations.
