The second phase of private voting will also take place with a jury of industry experts making their decisions based on the shortlist picked by participants during the first phase.

Earlier in October, BetConstruct's Head of Gaming Operations, Ruzanna Elchyan, shared insights about the Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards in an interview.
“The B.F.T.H. Arena Awards has become a platform for game developers to showcase their talent, create something unique, and present great games to players. Not only does this provide recognition, but it also encourages innovation and creativity within the gaming community,” she said.
She elaborated saying that what sets these awards apart is their focus on bespoke games and the Ortak initiative. "This fosters an aura of collaboration that benefits the industry at large. Think of it as the ultimate synergy of iGaming, crypto, and Web3," she added.
This year, the event will showcase 16 different categories and will continue to highlight exceptional talent and celebrate the accomplishments of game developers "in a way that is distinct from other events." Moreover, there are new Ortak-related categories that are unique to Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards 3.0.
