eGaming Integrity and Emma Shilling Receive Four Nominations at the Vixio Global Regulatory Awards

The company eGaming Integrity, specialized in regulatory compliance and internal auditing based in the Isle of Man, along with its director Emma Shilling, has been shortlisted in four categories at the 2026 Vixio Global Regulatory Awards. This distinction recognizes both Shilling's individual work in key compliance and anti-money laundering roles and the collective efforts of the team in providing services to online gambling sector providers.

Recognitions in the Vixio Global Regulatory Awards 2026

The Vixio Global Regulatory Awards, one of the leading international recognitions in the regulated sector, considered the track record of eGaming Integrity and Emma Shilling for four distinct categories in its 2026 edition:

• Emma Shilling is shortlisted as AML Professional of the Year, Compliance Innovator of the Year, and Compliance Professional of the Year.
• eGaming Integrity is in the running for Compliance Innovator of the Year and Compliance Team of the Year – Supplier.

This process recognizes individuals and companies that play a prominent role in areas such as auditing, innovation, and the development of effective responsible gaming and compliance programs.

Profile and Services of eGaming Integrity

eGaming Integrity operates from the Isle of Man, providing support in regulatory compliance and auditing to online gambling operators and providers. The portfolio of services includes simulated audits, remediation activities, safer gambling guarantees, and evidence-based supervision of suppliers.

As Shilling herself explained:

"Much of my work in AML involves identifying changes in the business environment and assessing whether they represent a risk to the license holder. Sometimes it is necessary to elevate these issues to the board of directors."

The company stresses the importance of its clients being able to justify their decisions to the regulator and maintaining clear and auditable records of any actions—or inactions—stemming from audit findings.

Innovation and Practical Approach to Compliance

For Emma Shilling, innovation makes sense to the extent that it contributes to informed decision-making by operators:

"Innovation is only useful if it helps someone make a better decision. If we identify a finding, the operator must understand its implications and justify their response. Sharing this recognition with the eGaming Integrity team makes it even more meaningful."

This vision seems to be supported by the operational approach indicated by the CEO, James O'Kelly, for whom early detection of alerts (e.g., linked to international sanctions or negative media mentions) must be accompanied by clear criteria to determine whether corrective action is truly necessary and how to document the process.

Importance of Trust and External Recognition

James O'Kelly emphasizes the responsibility involved in accessing sensitive information and making decisions that may have compliance implications for clients:

"Our clients trust us to manage confidential information and decisions with regulatory impact. When awards recognize both Emma and the team, that external endorsement can be decisive in the trust of potential clients."

Transparency in processes, precise documentation of decisions, and proactive risk management are highlighted as distinguishing traits in the company's and team's activities.

Recent Track Record and Other Recognitions

In addition to the nominations at the Vixio Awards, eGaming Integrity was also named Independent Online Gambling Assurance Provider of the Year at the 2026 UK Enterprise Awards. This recognition helps to solidify the company's reputation in the competitive landscape of compliance and auditing in regulated markets.

The combination of individual and collective recognitions across different fronts positions eGaming Integrity among the leading firms in compliance tailored to the regulated online gambling sector.
