Wazdan nominated for Digital Supplier of the Year at Global Gaming Awards Americas 2026

Wazdan is among the finalists for the Digital Supplier of the Year award at the Global Gaming Awards Americas 2026, an acknowledgment that highlights commercial performance, product innovation, and the quality of relationships with operators in North America and Latin America over the past year. The winner will be announced on September 28 at The Venetian Expo, Las Vegas. This nomination consolidates the company's trajectory after a sustained phase of expansion across both continents.

Nomination at the Global Gaming Awards Americas 2026

The Global Gaming Awards Americas, organized by Global Gaming Insider, recognize the most outstanding players in the industry across various categories each year. In the 2026 edition, the Digital Supplier of the Year category focuses on companies that have excelled in commercial performance, innovative capability, and strength in building lasting relationships with regional operators.

"This nomination reflects nearly two years of consistent work in the Americas, from our establishment in Brazil and Peru to this year's advancements in Pennsylvania, Alberta, and Mexico. Each of those markets presents its own regulatory framework and operator expectations, and achieving consistent success is more complex than any one-off game launch. This recognition rewards the efforts of the entire company," stated Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer of Wazdan.

Regional Expansion: Agreements and Regulated Markets

Wazdan's push into America dates back to establishing its presence in Brazil and Peru in early 2025. Subsequently, the company sealed a deal to enter the regulated Pennsylvania market with FanDuel Casino, expanded operations in Alberta, increased its stake in Ontario, and reached an agreement for deploying titles with Caliente Interactive in Mexico.

Currently, Wazdan's catalog boasts over 400 active games across more than 40 regulated jurisdictions, with a network of partnerships connecting the company to over 2,500 businesses. Its release calendar exceeds 40 titles annually, solidifying its capacity for continuous innovation and adaptation to the regulatory framework of each country.

Product Strategy and Innovation: From Unique Mechanics to Retention

Wazdan's growth relies on recognizable series like Coins, Hot Slot, and Mighty Wild, as well as patented mechanics —Hold the Jackpot, Cash Infinity, and Volatility Levels— which aim to differentiate the product in competitive markets. Promotional tools, including Mystery Drop, aim to provide operators with effective engagement and retention mechanisms beyond mere sporadic content provision.

This focus responds to the demands of operators in markets like casino and reinforces Wazdan's position as a strategic partner for platforms and operators interested in loyalty solutions and sustained performance in regulated environments.

Recognitions and Future Projection

Wazdan's inclusion in the list of finalists for Digital Supplier of the Year adds to other awards received in the sector. The nomination recognizes the transversal work of commercial, product, and account management teams involved in consolidating the offer across different regulated frameworks, contributing to global expansion with compliance criteria and local adaptation.

The results of the Global Gaming Awards Americas 2026 will be announced on September 28, during an event that will gather key players in the sector in Las Vegas. Wazdan's candidacy reinforces the firm's message and anticipates continuity in its commitment to product diversification and strengthening local and regional partnerships.
