1xBet wins Sports Betting Operator of the Year at the IGA

During the International Gaming Awards (IGA) 2026, 1xBet won the nomination for “Sports Betting Operator of the Year”.

The event was hosted at the Intercontinental Hotel Barcelona, where 1xBet was recognized for its strategic evolution, investment in safe gambling, and continued global expansion.

Simon Westbury, the Strategic Advisor to 1xBet, received the award on behalf of the company.

Westbury commented:

“It is a privilege to commence 2026 and to accept this recognition on behalf of 1xBet. This achievement reflects the dedication of our global teams and our commitment to building a responsible, innovative, and player-focused organization.”

IGA judges noted three main areas of success that led 1xBet to win the award: the company’s global initiative to strengthen player protection, expansion in over 35 licensed jurisdictions, and investment in technology to improve player safety.

The win confirms 1xBet’s commitment to high industry standards, with responsible gambling as the main focus of its growth strategy.
