The LCB Awards return for their fourth consecutive year, continuing a tradition of spotlighting the standout performers shaping the online gambling landscape.
Established by LCB after nearly two decades of hands-on expertise in the casino industry, the Awards reflect the platform’s long-term commitment to fairness, innovation, and meaningful contributions across the iGaming world. Designed not only to applaud exceptional operators and creators but also to raise industry standards, the event demonstrates LCB’s mission to recognize brands that significantly improve the player experience.
As in previous years, the Awards combine community participation with expert evaluation. Voting is scheduled to run fromNovember 20, 2025 to January 5, 2026, during which the LCB community will help shape the final shortlist in each category. At the same time, voting doubles as an exclusive contest for registered members, who will have the chance to share in a $6,000 prize pool for their participation.
All winners, both the iGaming brands and the members selected in the voting contest, will be announced on January 15, 2026, during a Twitch livestream. Details on how to join the stream will be shared closer to the event.
Award Divisions, Voting and Prizes
The LCB Awards 2025 feature eight distinct categories with 20 nominees each, highlighting a key area of excellence within the online casino sector. Together, they recognize achievements in overall performance, customer support, promotions, live dealer entertainment, software development and slot design.
The categories are: Best Online Casino, Helping Hand, Rising Star, Prime Perks, Live Dealer Games, Members Choice, Gamecraft Mastery, and Spin Me Round. From established leaders to emerging brands and creative studios, the Awards aim to provide a well-rounded view of the industry’s top performers over the past year.
Shortlisting is determined by votes cast by LCB members and guests during the contest period. Both registered users and guests may vote, but only registered LCB members qualify for prizes. Once the shortlists of 10 finalists in each category are determined, an LCB-appointed jury selects the winners in all categories except Members Choice, where the community alone decides the final result.
A major highlight of the Awards is the accompanying voting contest for LCB members. With a total of $6,000 in cash prizes, voters earn raffle entries simply by casting their daily votes across the eight categories. From all collected entries, 45 winners will be randomly drawn from a $5,000 main prize pool, while an additional $1,000 in consolation prizes is reserved for the most active voters. Full details of the prize structure and participation rules are available in the dedicated contest topic on the LCB forum https://lcb.org/onlinecasinobonusforum/exclusive-lcb-contests/lcb-awards-2025-6-000-cash-contest-vote-for-best-in-igaming#new_topic.
As the LCB Awards 2025 move toward their livestreamed finale on January 15, anticipation continues to build. This annual celebration not only honors operators and software developers that elevate the iGaming experience, but also strengthens the connection between LCB and its global community of players.
