Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, has announced the shortlist for the 2024 Global Regulatory Awards (GRAs).
Now in their eighth year, the GRAs aim to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable achievements of individuals, teams, and organizations in the gambling industry that have surpassed expectations in compliance, corporate social responsibility, and safer gambling.
“Congratulations to everyone who made the shortlist this year. It is a significant achievement as we’ve received a record number of submissions, making 2024 the most competitive yet. Each year, we see growing interest in the GRAs, proving the industry’s recognition of the importance of compliance and the need for continuous excellence in this area,” stated Mike Woolfrey, CEO of Vixio.
Woolfrey further expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you to the judging panel for your rigorous and independent evaluation to ensure the awards’ integrity. We look forward to seeing many of you at the GRAs awards ceremony.”
