EGT Digital CEO Vladimir Dokov has been named Leader of the Year at the SBC Awards 2026, recognising his leadership as the company expanded into new regulated markets and developed its technology and product offering over the past year.
Under Dokov’s leadership, EGT Digital has secured regulatory approvals and expanded its presence across international markets while continuing to develop its portfolio of more than 250 in-house casino games.
The company’s casino offering has received industry recognition this year, including Top Performing Slot Portfolio at the BiS SiGMA Americas Awards 2026, Best Slot Game for Panda Ventura at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2026, and Best Game Provider at the SiGMA Africa Awards 2026.
EGT Digital has also continued to develop its Sportsbook, which received the Sportsbook Player Experience Innovation award at the SiGMA Asia Awards 2026. Its modular X-Nave platform has also been further developed, while the company’s Gaming Aggregator provides access to more than 20,000 titles from more than 200 providers.
“Receiving the Leader of the Year award is a great honour, but I see it above all as recognition of what we have achieved together as a company. EGT Digital’s development has always been a team effort,” said Dokov.
“We have ambitious goals, but what matters is how we reach them – by building strong products, being reliable partners and constantly challenging ourselves to improve. I am proud of what our team has accomplished and even more excited about what comes next,” he said.
The SBC Awards are in their 13th year and recognise achievements across the global betting and gaming industry. The 2026 ceremony took place on Oct. 1 at the MEO Arena in Lisbon on the final day of SBC Summit.
