The International Gaming Awards (IGA) has announced its 2025 winners!
For Casinoplusbonus readers, some familiar brands came away from this year’s event, which took place in Barcelona.
Like the Global Gaming Awards (GGA), IGA events take place the day before ICE begins. Due to ICE London moving cities and changing its name to ICE Barcelona, the IGA followed the event to Spain. In my opinion, everyone who follows ICE, the GGA, and the IGA events gets to escape the ice of London’s wintery climate for a slightly warmer event this time of year on Spain’s east coast, where the temperature was around 12 Celsius rather than London’s 6 celsius.
With that said, we’re not here for a weather report!
The International Gaming Awards 2025 took place on 19 Jan at the Intercontinental Hotel, Barcelona. We saw winners such as SOFTSWISS, Spribe, Play’n GO, BGaming, Pragmatic Play, Games Global and its partner studio, Just for the Win and Light & Wonder. All are brands we often cover as software providers or aggregator platform providers in our Casinoplusbonus online casino reviews.
As for the awards, the company in charge of auditing the judges’ votes for this event is Moore. If you would like to watch the event video, we have included it below, courtesy of the IGA, which streamed the ceremony live.
All IGA Awards: The International Gaming Awards is an event the Casimopusbonus International English language team has reported on yearly since 2021. If you’d like to rewind to take a look at previous winners, you will find all International Gaming Awards Winners Lists here.

Also, it comes as no surprise Games Global won the Slot Provider of the Year.

For example, the SOFTSWISS affiliate program spans sports and casinos, while Entain and its customer services also cover both gambling verticals. As for Charitable Donations won by a brand, we all enjoy playing here at Casinoplusbonus, BGaming; the award covers the gambling industry as a whole. Once again, congratulations to all the winners.

Rounding Up the IGA 2025 Event!
A move from London’s Savoy Hotel, where the IGA awards event usually takes place, didn’t faze the event coordinators in the slightest. As you can see from the video, it was business as usual. The atmosphere in the first edition of this event in Barcelona was just as amazing as many years of holding the event in the UK.
Also, its great to see brands like BGaming and Peter&Sons pick up awards as we feel they don’t win enough awards. Plus, we 100% agree with the choice of Slot Provider of the Year being Games Global. Pragmatic Play would also have been close to winning the award, but the brand didn’t leave empty-handed. Plus, Creedroomz is one to look out for if you enjoy playing live casino games!
