The gambling industry is once again turning its attention to London as Vixio has revealed the finalists for the 2025 Global Regulatory Awards. Now entering its ninth year, the event has become a landmark occasion for compliance officers, legal teams, and executives who drive responsible practices within gaming.
The Global Regulatory Awards stand out because they highlight individuals and companies that take compliance and safer gambling seriously. To be named a finalist is to be recognised as part of a select group that treats regulation as a vital part of long term success. The awards underline how responsibility and growth must go hand in hand.
Categories Highlight Growing Demands
The 2025 edition includes 23 categories, reflecting how broad and complex the regulatory landscape has become. These range from Chief Compliance Officer of the Year and Outstanding Contribution to Safer Gambling to RegTech Provider of the Year and Marketing Compliance Team of the Year. The expanded scope shows how every part of the sector, from payments to product development, is expected to meet higher standards.
The judging panel is composed of respected figures who evaluate entries independently. Their role is to ensure that recognition goes only to those who genuinely demonstrate commitment and results in compliance. For operators, suppliers, and regulators alike, the awards offer a chance to see who is setting the pace in raising standards.
London Ceremony Set for November
The winners will be announced on 19 November in London at the Grand Connaught Rooms. The venue has hosted the ceremony in previous years and has become synonymous with the celebration of compliance excellence. The evening will bring together professionals from across the world for networking and recognition.
For finalists, this is more than a trophy chase. It is an opportunity to strengthen credibility with regulators and partners, and to show players that the industry is capable of balancing growth with responsibility. Past winners have used their awards as proof of integrity, helping to shape how they are perceived across global markets.
The announcement of the 2025 finalists signals once again that the Global Regulatory Awards are not just about formality. They are about shaping a culture in which compliance, safer gambling, and innovation sit side by side. For those who made the shortlist, the countdown to November has already begun.
