Vixio Unveils the 2025 Global Regulatory Award Categories and is Now Accepting Submissions

Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, has unveiled its 2025 Global Regulatory Awards (GRAs) categories and opened the submission platform, accepting nominations until May 19, 2025.

For nearly a decade, the independently judged Global Regulatory Awards have been the gold standard across the industry. They recognise the achievements of individuals, teams and organisations, and winning a prestigious GRA can enhance their reputation as a leader in compliance and safer gambling.

“We entered because I think it’s one of the most prestigious events of the year in many ways… I think it gets better every year. We’ve been coming for four or five years now, and every year, it seems to get bigger, more prestigious, and more international,” explains Paul Buck, CEO & Founder, EPIC Global Solutions.

This year’s Global Regulatory Awards span 23 categories recognising various roles and disciplines, including three new awards for 2025. (Award for Commitment to Compliance by a Supplier, Marketing Compliance Team of the Year and Payments Team of the Year). Nominations are open to industry newcomers and veterans alike, and a transparent judging process ensures everyone an equal opportunity to be successful.

“We work with player protection globally. So, for us, this is one of the most important awards of the year… It’s always great to enter different categories and network with industry peers in player protection and compliance.” said Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO, Mindway AI.

Vixio confirmed they would not charge for award submissions, and organisations may enter multiple categories. All award nominations must be submitted via the independent online submission platform AwardStage before the deadline on May 19, 2025.

“These [Global Regulatory Awards], by far, are the most prestigious awards in compliance and responsible gambling,” said Francesco Rodano, Chief Sustainable Gambling Officer, Playtech.
