iGaming Idol Awards finalists unveiled

The iGaming Idol organizers announced that the awards auditing partner BDO Malta have confirmed the 49 finalists that have been chosen to enter the penultimate round, where the judges will decide on the final 16 idols that will be crowned at the Grand Master Suite, Hilton Malta on the 26th September 2017 during the iGaming Idol gala dinner.

The judging process has been a major success factor for iGaming Idol, in that it is the first Industry award event that conducts an interview process, whilst it is audited by an International auditing firm.  

Speaking of the process, Michael Pedersen, CEO of iGaming Idol stated, “The judging process was a critical decision we made so to ensure that awards are credible. We have instilled major importance on this factor and believe it is the way forward for industry related awards.”

iGaming Idol is in its second edition and this year received triple the nominations from its first edition and the organisers are hoping to double the attendance at the iGaming Idol Gala Dinner event.  

Ramona Mifsud, director of iGaming Idol said: “This year we have seen a major interest from the Industry from sponsors and companies attending the gala dinner.

“We are confident that this year we will not only have an outright success again but we will also reach our target of raising €10,000 for the Malta Community Chest Fund.”
