Following another strong edition of the Global Gaming Awards Europe, Middle East & Africa in Barcelona last month, attention now turns to Asia-Pacific.
Self-nominations are now officially open, giving operators and suppliers from across APAC the opportunity to put forward their achievements from the past 12 months. Companies can submit their entries via the official Global Gaming Awards website, with the nominations window remaining open until early March.
“The Asia-Pacific region continues to demonstrate exceptionally high standards across all areas of the gaming industry, and Manila has proven to be the perfect place to celebrate the industry’s achievements” said Mariya Savova, Event Manager of the Global Gaming Awards.
The Global Gaming Awards are widely regarded as the industry’s most trusted awards, built on a rigorous and transparent process. All shortlisted companies and individuals are selected for clearly defined reasons, which are released publicly to ensure full transparency.
The Shortlist is compiled through in-depth research by the Global Gaming Insider team, combined with feedback from independent industry experts and a detailed review of self-nominations submitted by companies.
The full Shortlist will be announced in May, with winners determined by senior executives from across the Asia-Pacific gaming sector. The voting process will be independently adjudicated by KPMG US.
The Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific 2026 are powered by Global Gaming Insider. Event sponsors include Z-Gaming Asia, Aristocrat Gaming, DSTGaming, BET88 and Spribe.
Winners will be unveiled at a dedicated luncheon during the SiGMA Asia Summit in Manila in June 2026.
The SiGMA Asia Summit will once again take place at the SMX Convention Centre, Manila’s largest exhibition venue, bringing together thousands of industry stakeholders from across the region and beyond.
The nominations window for the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific will remain open until 9 March. Companies wishing to be considered are invited to complete the short nomination form on the Global Gaming Awards website, outlining their key achievements across the Asia-Pacific region over the past 12 months.

This will be the fifth edition of the Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific.
