Regulator of the Year
Regulator of the Year is a way in which the IMGL recognizes noteworthy contributions to the regulation of the gaming industry. These awards, which continue the IMGL mission of “Advancing Gaming Law through Education”, are given annually to the Regulators whom we consider have been preeminent in the regulatory field and whose overall body of work as a regulator has impacted the industry successfully, so as to add to the stable regulatory environment in their jurisdiction. The recipient of IMGL’s award is identified as a person of the highest integrity who has demonstrated outstanding service to the gaming community.
