Judging Process

The judging process for this year’s awards will be split into two different methods. The Operator/Affiliate Awards will be put to the vote of the industry – people who have attended this year’s Betting on Football and Betting on Sports Conferences. Given these delegates have an active interest in the betting industry, their opinion and backing is sought after.

 

Meanwhile, a hand picked judging panel from the cream of the industry will help to pick out the truly ground-breaking entries in the Supplier Awards. You can see a list of the judges below.
