Rumour has it that all the big names in iGaming gathered this week to celebrate the success, hard work, and milestones that 2025 brought. Yup, you got it – the AskGamblers Awards Gala Night took place last night, and most of the guests are still recovering.
The gala night was the crown of a two-day celebration that included partners arriving from all over the world, a Charity Night that took place on 10 June, and a padel tournament on 11 June.
The fact that online gambling is not only fun and games is proven every year when AskGamblers gathers iGaming heads, all of whom donate impressive amounts to charity. The money goes to the organisations that need it most -and every year, they’re different.
Last year, we raised €135,000 and donated it to MS Platform Serbia and Foundation NORBS Plus to help support the fight against rare diseases.
This year, we gathered at Koto Restaurant in Belgrade Waterfront. The evening was filled with catching up, old friends reuniting, laughter, and plenty of good vibes. Thanks to the generosity of our amazing partners, we managed to raise an outstanding €137,000!
Yup, you read that right. And yes, it’s a record!
Who says the iGaming world doesn’t have a big heart?
As tradition goes, sweating it out together is our favourite kind of networking. Last year, we took our partners cycling through Belgrade. This year, they smashed it on the padel courts.
Even the weather tried to sabotage things a bit with some rain here and there, but it didn’t really stand a chance. If anything, it just added extra entertainment. A few slippery moments, some very creative footwork, and plenty of laughing at ourselves after every point.
Those who knew how to play padel had fun. But those who had never tried it before? Well, they had a blast.
There was plenty of racket throwing, laughing, messing around, and, from time to time, a bit of rivalry and friendly competition. If there’s one thing everyone in iGaming has in common, it’s that we all love a good game. And that’s exactly what we got.
This is it. The night we all waited for. Long elegant dresses. Fancy suits. Shiny jewellery. Hair. Makeup. High heels. It’s Awards Night, baby!
After warming up on the padel court, it was time to bring out the best looks on the red carpet. This year, the event took place at the St. Regis Hotel, and it was most definitely worth the hype.
Everyone cleaned up nicely. Live music, delicious food, and drinks set the atmosphere, only for it to be fired up even more by the dancers. The announcement of the winners kept everyone on the edge of their seats. The best took home the prizes:
Each prize was presented by one of our dedicated account managers. There were tears of joy, emotional speeches, and plenty of celebration.
After the ceremony, everyone relaxed and hit the dance floor until late into the night. The rest is history!
Did your favourites take home a prize?
