Nominations open worldwide for the 2027 Sport and Wagering Integrity category at RTG Global Awards

Nominations are officially open for the prestigious Sport and Wagering Integrity Award, part of the Regulating the Game 2027 global conference and the RTG Global Awards program.

This key category recognizes outstanding initiatives, programs, systems, and partnerships that significantly strengthen the integrity of sport and wagering through prevention, detection, education, collaboration, or governance reform.

Eligible entries encompass integrity monitoring systems, suspicious betting detection frameworks, participant education, anti-corruption measures, and investigative partnerships.

  • Regulators, government agencies, and racing/wagering bodies

  • Advisory firms, researchers, not-for-profits, and community organisations

Submissions are evaluated on impact relative to the nominee’s role and scope rather than the overall size of the program.
