For the online casino sector, Day 2 was the big one! Multiple well-known iGaming brand names at the top of their game were shortlisted for categories covering areas such as live casino, software, video slot, mobile, poker, and casino games supply. Surprisingly, some of the biggest names in iGaming walked away from the 2-day event empty-handed.

Microgaming was up for 4 awards and did not win, while Pragmatic Play picked an incredible 11 shortlist nominations but like Microgaming came up short. Yggdrasil, iSoftBet, and Wazdan were also all in the running after being shortlisted in multiple categories, but surprisingly none of them could see of the competition! It is fair to say that from an iGaming point of view, this year’s event was all about Evolution. The brand owns NetEnt and Red Tiger which both picked up multiple awards while Evolution itself was also a double winner in this event.

Evolution’s 5 EGR B2B 2021 Victories: NetEnt and Red Tiger were up for 5 awards apiece and Evolution up for 2 awards in separate categories. NetEnt and Red Tiger took down a total of 3 awards which were 1 apiece as individual brands and 1 joint award while Evolution took 2 awards for both categories it was shortlisted!

Red Tiger Adds ‘Mobile Supplier’ of the Year Award!

On day 1, Red Tiger was jointly nominated with NetEnt in the ‘Innovation in Slot Provision’ award and won. However, in the ‘Mobile Supplier’ category, Red Tiger was up against its sister brand for bragging rights. And the brand fought off not only NetEnt but also Pragmatic Play, Yggdrasil, Push Gaming, EGT Interactive, Pariplay, and 6 other big names to bring its final tally for the EGR B2B 2020 ceremony to 2 awards!

Fun Fact: At last year’s EGR B2B 2020 Red Tiger won the ‘Slot Supplier’, ‘Mobile Supplier’, ‘Mobile Gaming Software Supplier’, ‘Innovation In Mobile’, and ‘Innovation In Slot Provision’ of year awards!

NetEnt Wins ‘Mobile Gaming Software Supplier’ of the Year Award!

Adding to it Day 1 ‘Innovation in Slot Provision’ joint award with Red Tiger, day 2 saw NetEnt win the ‘Mobile Gaming Software Supplier’ of the year title. Red Tiger were the proud winners of this title in 2020 and so the award still goes to the same company but shift over to the NetEnt brand! NetEnt was also up for the ‘Slot Supplier’, ‘Casino Software Supplier’, and ‘Mobile Supplier’ awards on Day 2!

Fun Facts: Last year’s EGR BRB 2020 awards were disappointing for NetEnt after not winning any awards. This year’s double award win makes the victories that much sweeter for the brand!

1X2 Network Wins ‘Slot Supplier’ Award

A surprise winner took down the ‘Slot Supplier’ of the year award with the UK iGaming development brand winning on home turf – something England football fans will also be hoping for in the Euro 2020 competition being played a year late! 1×2 Network, also known as 1×2 Gaming, is a popular UK online casino brand, and won thanks to its wide variety of games, impressive growth, and faultless execution in a highly competitive iGaming market!

Before we celebrate Playtech’s amazing achievement, one brand not on the shortlist for this year’s event was SoftSwiss! However, we are sure we will see them in next year’s awards as the platform just picked up an MGA license this year.
