eGaming Integrity, an Isle of Man-based supplier of compliance and audit services for online gambling operators and suppliers, has been shortlisted for four categories at the Vixio Global Regulatory Awards 2026.

The nominations underscore both the company’s and Shilling’s ongoing contributions to anti-money laundering (AML) processes and compliance innovation in regulated eGaming markets.

Vixio Global Regulatory Awards 2026: Four Key Shortlistings

eGaming Integrity announced its placement across four categories in the upcoming Vixio Global Regulatory Awards, an annual event acknowledging regulatory excellence in the gambling industry. Emma Shilling, the company’s director, is a finalist for AML Professional of the Year, Compliance Innovator of the Year, and Compliance Professional of the Year. The company itself features on shortlists for Compliance Innovator of the Year and Compliance Team of the Year – Supplier.

These recognitions position both Shilling and eGaming Integrity among the sector’s leading figures and teams in regulatory affairs. The Vixio Global Regulatory Awards are widely covered in the regulation and b2b spaces, drawing participation and scrutiny from compliance professionals, suppliers, and operators worldwide.

eGaming Integrity’s Services and Compliance Approach

Based in the Isle of Man, eGaming Integrity delivers compliance, internal audit, and assurance support to operators and iGaming suppliers. Its portfolio includes:

• Mock audits and remediation programming
• Safer gambling assurance frameworks
• Evidence-driven supplier oversight

The company indicates these services are designed to help clients navigate the evolving risk landscape and regulatory expectations set by licensing bodies across key markets.

"A lot of my AML work involves looking at what has changed around a business and whether that creates a problem for the licence holder. Sometimes the issue needs to reach the board," Emma Shilling stated in the company’s announcement. "For me, innovation is useful when it helps somebody make a better decision. Sharing this recognition with the eGaming Integrity team makes it especially meaningful."

Managing Director James O'Kelly emphasised the team’s focus on both monitoring and client guidance:

"Our monitoring can pick up a sanctions alert or an adverse-media development overnight. The next job is working out whether the client actually needs to do anything about it. Emma is very good at taking something we have found and working through what it means for the client. She also makes sure there is a proper record of whatever decision follows. Clients trust us with sensitive information and decisions that can carry regulatory consequences. That external recognition matters when a new client is deciding whether to place that trust in us."

Individual Recognition: Emma Shilling’s Compliance Profile

Shilling’s triple shortlisting—spanning AML leadership, compliance innovation, and overall professionalism—reflects her central role in shaping the company’s engagement with license holders and risk oversight. Much of her work addresses dynamic regulatory obligations, especially as they pertain to changes around a business and their impact on licence holders. The nomination for Compliance Innovator of the Year acknowledges a focus on actionable innovation: empowering operators to both comprehend and document why regulatory decisions are made.

In addition to her Vixio award nods, Shilling is considered a key architect of eGaming Integrity’s evidence-led approach, particularly concerning audit remediation and governance for operators and suppliers facing heightened regulatory scrutiny.

Company Achievements and Industry Standing

eGaming Integrity recorded further recognition earlier in 2026 with its naming as Independent Online Gambling Assurance Provider of the Year at the UK Enterprise Awards. This accolade, alongside the current Vixio shortlisting, bolsters its profile among compliance and audit service providers active in regulated online gambling.

The team nomination for Compliance Team of the Year – Supplier further illustrates collective strength in both operational monitoring—such as overnight sanctions and adverse-media checks—and effective communication of risk to clients, helping organisations demonstrate robust decision-making processes.

Vixio Awards and Industry Implications

The Vixio Global Regulatory Awards are regarded as one of the iGaming sector’s most recognised benchmarks for regulatory and compliance excellence. Shortlisting for both individual and team categories marks eGaming Integrity as a prominent player in shaping compliance standards for regulated markets such as the Isle of Man and the UK.

With the 2026 ceremony approaching, these nominations highlight both the stability of internal audit frameworks and an emphasis on transparent, data-driven advice for license holders. Such recognition is significant for both attracting new business and affirming industry trust in sensitive, consequence-laden operational matters.
