Awards Ceremony – BSG Awards*
BSG Awards had been launched in 2019 and the awards ceremony is part of MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit, the leading boutique style gambling industry conference of the Baltic and Scandinavian region. Even at its inaugural edition, BSG Awards has become the most important gaming industry awards in the region.
In 2020, the number of awards has been supplemented with many new exciting award categories being added to the list. A total of 36 award categories are available and we are continuing the the same mission of creating an independent, fair and representative awards event that recognizes significant achievements within the Baltic and Scandinavian gaming industry.
The second edition of the Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards (BSG Awards) will be held on the 7th of May in Tallinn (Estonia) during the third edition of MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit and aims to reward the hard work of companies (gaming software suppliers, operators and service providers) that are active in the Baltic and Scandinavian region.
To provide a fully transparent process, the final winners of each category are decided by a special voting session during the conference.
