EGR Global is pleased to announce that the EGR Operator Awards 2019 voting process will once again be officiated by accountancy giant Deloitte. This is part of EGR’s pledge to make the judging process the most stringent and transparent in the industry.

HOW THE JUDGES ARE CHOSEN

EGR’s team of independent, external judges is updated each year and is selected to bring a diverse range of in-depth egaming expertise to the judging process. All judges are required to sign a disclaimer form to keep all submitted information and the winners confidential, and are obliged to declare that they have no conflicts of interest prior to judging.

The full list of judges will be published after the judging process has been completed so that there is no attempt to influence the judges as this would result in immediate disqualification from the awards.

HOW CATEGORIES ARE ALLOCATED TO THE JUDGES

Groups of judges are allocated categories, which are aligned to their specific market knowledge and avoid conflict of interest. Each group of judges have no access to the submissions or results of categories they are not involved in judging.

THE SHORTLISTING PROCESS

Awards will only be awarded in categories where two or more submissions have been received. A panel of independent, external judges decides on the shortlist prior to the submissions being sent to the final judges.

THE JUDGING PROCESS
(Headline Categories)

All entrants shortlisted for the 2019 Headline Categories are invited to take part in a judging day on Thursday 26 September at The Athenaeum in London.

A representative from each shortlisted firm will have the opportunity to give a short presentation to the panel of judges, to go through their entry and convince the judges why they should win, as well as answer any questions they may have.

Although not compulsory, it is strongly recommended that a representative attends in person at the judging day, as this will enhance the judges understanding of your entry, which can help improve your chances of winning.

Once all presentations are complete, each judge allocates a score to each shortlister per category, as well as a brief summary of their thoughts.

The judges will also have the opportunity to discuss the presentations together, before making their final decision.

If there is no clear winner, the lead judge in each group will have the final casting vote to determine the winner. A Highly Commended may also be rewarded in this instance.

EGR does not contribute or have a vote within this process. All judging for the Headline Categories is done privately once the presentations are complete. No shortlisted firms will be present for the judges discussions and decision-making.

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 24 October 2019.

THE JUDGING PROCESS
(non Headline Categories)

The judges read and analyse the submissions online. Each judge allocates a score to each individual criteria per category, as well as a brief summary of their thoughts

Once the above is complete, the judges submit their scores

Once the scores are submitted, the winners are then automatically calculated by our online judging platform. If there is no clear winner, the lead judge in each group will have the final casting vote to determine the winner. A Highly Commended may also be rewarded in this instance.

EGR does not contribute or have a vote within this process. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 24 October 2019.

THE JUDGING PROCESS
(Game of the Year)

The winner of the Game of the Year is judged by those operators shortlisted for the 2019 EGR Operator Awards.

Those who qualify to vote will be sent details about each of the shortlisted games and an online poll to vote for their winner.

The voting is private and the winner will be announced at the EGR Operator Awards 2019 on 24 October in London.

Once the above is complete, the judges submit their scores

EGR does not contribute or have a vote within this process.
