Established in 2019 as the first awards dedicated exclusively to the online gambling market in the United States, this annual event celebrates excellence and innovation in the industry.

It honors the organization whose strategic, financial, or legal advisory contributions have made the most lasting impact on the U.S. online gambling industry, recognizing leadership that shapes the sector's future beyond transactions alone.
The nominations for each award category will be evaluated by a panel of 20 judges, each bringing extensive U.S.-specific experience. This esteemed panel features returning industry leaders from last year's American Gambling Awards, including Jason Robins, CEO of DraftKings; Amy Howe, CEO of FanDuel; and Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM. Their insights and discernment ensure a fair and thorough selection process, reflecting the highest standards of excellence in the field.
Several new judges are joining this year's panel, bringing fresh perspectives and deep expertise to the selection process: Jay Deuskar, Co-Founder and CTO of PrizePicks; George Rover, Executive Director of the Responsible Gaming Affiliate Association (RGAA); Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group; and Thomas Winter, the driving force behind Golden Nugget's online success and now a member of the Board of Directors at Rush Street Interactive.
Each winner of the American Gambling Awards receives a Golden Eagle trophy engraved with their details. Produced by Society Awards – the firm that has produced awards for the Golden Globes® and Emmys® – the Golden Eagle trophy is an 11-inch, gold-plated, cast-pewter statuette of an American Bald Eagle, proudly resting in front of a pile of casino chips.
Gambling.com Group will again host a celebratory dinner in New York City for winners, judges, and partners.
