Huge congratulations to everyone who not only won but also participated. The votes were not done by the general public, they were done by major CEO's plus there was a window for the self nomination.

What do you think ?
Are you happy with the results ? Did you expect someone else there ?

I do believe that the normal community should also be involved in such voting process, it would not only be more enjoyable but it would be more transparent for the people too.

What are your thoughts on this?

There is no surprise that Bet365 clinched the top 1 Online Sports Betting Operator. If I remember right, there is a thread before that is shared here (or maybe just part of the replies) in the forum that they become more popular on Europe's online gambling during the pandemic and lasted until now.

Not against the voting result here, even I'm not familiar with some of those, because awards doesn't really matter as long as these gambling operators are good to their service.

Wow congratulations to all who made this a reality both to the gamblers and the operators alike. I'm impressed bet365 made it to the top this must have cost a whole lot of effort maintaining a top position for this long it's worth the effort. Congratulations to all who made it this far while we wait patiently for another betting year.

The only one that I've heared of in this award is probably the Bet365, they don't leave that much impression for me but it's a credit where credit is due. How come that there's close to zero crypto gambling site in this awards.

I think some of them are well deserved like bet365 and Parimatch I don't have an account on these sportsbook but i've heard nice things about them. If only these sites don't have KYC i'd most likely use them.

The same goes for Sportsradar(Betradar) since some of the big crypto bookies (sportsbet, bitsler and stake) use them as their odds provider.

How come that there's close to zero crypto gambling site in this awards.

I guess it's because crypto gambling sites aren't that huge when compared to fiat sites and the only crypto casino I saw in the nomination list was Bitstarz.

Online Casino Supplier 

Evolution
Yggdrasil Gaming
Pragmatic Play

I rarely touch Evolution slots product, perhaps it's also consider live games, so yeah Evolution is #1, but Yggdrasil Gaming? Why? I'd put Play'nGO and Pragmatic.

Casino Product 

Red Tiger – Gonzo’s Quest MegaWays
Playtech – Adventures Beyond Wonderland
BetGames.TV – War of Bets

Gonzo Quest, really? It's a mid-2020 game, and I rarely see people play it anymore (at least in my circle). Anyway, it's not wise to put slots in the same basket as live games.

in the coming years, as crypto casinos are becoming popular, i believe they will add another category in the crypto-related category. right now, maybe for them the audience using crypto casinos are still small, the reason why we haven't seen popular crypto casinos in the list. fiat-based online casinos are still the popular ones today but crypto gamblers are increasing especially during this pandemic era. and a lot are finding out the major benefits that they can get, like no KYC and fast deposit and withdrawal of cryptocurrencies.

Wow congratulations to all who made this a reality both to the gamblers and the operators alike.

Congratulations to all who made it this far while we wait patiently for another betting year.

Online gambling is a billion dollar business, so obviously bet365 has put a lot of efforts behind and could have spend lots of money to become the winner this year in London. This business is a niche, but make no mistakes about about there are a lot of competition out there. And to remain on top, you have the funds just to market your website not just in Europe but across the globe. And bet365 did exactly that. So congrats and this news might move some gamblers to their platforms because of the hype.

Yes, I see bet365 everywhere on the internet and I have already answered surveys about them (probably surveys ordered by bet365 itself). They must invest a lot of money in marketing to reach most potential gamblers as possible. That may have helped them to win this award considerably. But frankly, I would like to see more crypto platforms in these competitions.
It would help a lot bitcoin adoption to increase among gamblers who still stick only with fiat currencies.

I'm not sure these award ceremonies are really worth much, it is basically just an extra event that buys a subtle form of advertising to any participants. They all pay a little bit of money to participate, they are unlikely to even indirectly link to a voting site which could advertise their rivals, so the results are going to be heavily biased towards the sites with the largest player bases and offering little exposure to the smaller sites which might be innovating. As someone else has said, they should have introduced a cryptocurrency based prize but I doubt the big players want any publicity for that section of the market which could take away their players.

I think that the cryptos gambling still has a lot of room to grow, I agree they can't compete with Fiat gambling, and maybe that's why I don't know most of those listed above.

Hopefully, this will change in the next few years and cryptos will be more prevalent in gambling, it would be interesting too if there was a specific category for them, don't you think?

There's currently no gambling body that governs crypto-gambling sites so it's not possible to have a global award for it. There should be a large group or wide voice request from the public so it can reach the event organizers. And on that region, online gambling becomes a demand but it doesn't mean that people there are mostly playing at crypto casinos.

Most crypto-gambling sites aren't regulated too so there's no way to know how far they are performing unless the site will submit their statistics which I doubt they will or shared.

Bet365 has become a legendary casino in fiat based casino industry under the able leadership of Denise Coates. This lady was a visionary businesswoman who understood the value an online gambling website can bring to the gamblers. Since they were focused to provide an immersive gambling experience from the very beginning, this pandemic time had helped them immensely to grow.

Indeed many casinos are not known to a lot of people here because we are crypto users and not fiat casino users. But bet365 is indeed well deserved to win such award.
