At the inaugural SBC Awards Latinoamérica, Rushbet.co, Codere, Lotería de Río Negro, Kaizen Gaming, Apuesta Total, Betsson Group, Betcris, Oddspedia, Sportingtech, Pragmatic Play, and Paysafe were among the 20 winners of the prestigious trophies. 

For the second edition of the annual industry celebration, the Awards ceremony will feature a wider range of categories in order to include more of the region's rapidly growing industry. 

The 26 awards include seven for operators, two for affiliates, 13 for suppliers, two for payments providers, and two industry-wide honors. There are categories for companies in the sports betting, casino, bingo, and lottery markets, complete with opportunities for everyone from established major players to challenger brands.

Entries can be made free of charge here from today, with the nomination period open until July 15, 2022. Independent judging panels made up of renowned industry experts will then draw up shortlists and decide on the winners.

Cristian Robalino, VP Marketing, Americas for SBC, said: "Markets across Latin America are generating huge excitement in the international betting and gaming industry, as both local innovators and global brands look to seize the opportunities created by the spread of regulation. 

"With so many businesses chasing success in the region, this year's Awards are certain to be ultra competitive. It will be fascinating to see which companies our judges identify as the top performers on what promises to be another great night at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica ceremony in November." 

Awards attendees can expect outstanding hospitality, with guests treated to entertainment, great food and complimentary drinks all evening, and networking opportunities with representatives of the biggest brands in the Latin American industry. 

The ceremony takes place on the closing day of SBC Summit Latinoamérica 2022, a three-day conference and tradeshow that will bring together companies already working in or planning to enter gambling markets across Latin America.
