Awards > About

Organizer Inside Asian Gaming (IAG) is an Asian born and bred company with an in-depth knowledge of the people and companies who have made the industry in the Asia-Pacific region what it is today. Publishing around 2,000 news, analysis and opinion articles on the industry in APAC each year, IAG has the credibility and convening authority to organize the most prestigious, credible and recognized Awards for the Asia-Pacific Integrated Resort industry.

Our number one priority with the IAG Academy IR Awards is transparency and fairness. As with everything IAG does, we do it differently. We want to see the true best-of-the-best honored and therefore take extraordinary steps to ensure each category is judged and awarded without fear or favor. Anybody can participate in the public call for candidates. The Awards judging process is fully audited. There are no less than 1oo Awards judges. The criteria to be a judge is published and any person meeting that criteria will be allowed to become a judge if they wish to do so. Judging is by vote and the votes are sealed and kept indefinitely to allow future audit if necessary.

All these measures create a set of awards that distinguish themselves from most others — the industry knows these awards simply cannot be bought and therefore have outstanding credibility.

The IAG Academy IR Awards are the true awards of the Asia-Pacific gaming industry!

The Awards have been running since 2021:
