Gaming Intelligence Awards 2026 | iGaming Operator of the Year

The iGaming Operator of the Year category recognises the operator that has delivered outstanding performance, innovation and impact across North America’s regulated iGaming market.

This award celebrates excellence in product delivery, commercial success and contribution to the continued development of the sector.

Congratulations to all our winners!

While widely recognized for its sports betting dominance, FanDuel Casino has quietly evolved into an absolute powerhouse over the past four years. No longer just a complementary product, the operator has invested heavily in proprietary content to become the leading digital gaming brand in the US. Buoyed by a player base of more than 1 million average monthly players, FanDuel’s US iGaming revenue increased by 14 per cent to $577 million in Q2 2026, having generated more than $2.09 billion in 2025. This comes alongside its successful launch in Alberta in July, which significantly outpaced its previous Canadian launch in Ontario.

Honourable mentions go to Caesars Entertainment for continuing to deliver stellar growth from its iGaming operations, particularly in the US, as well as Caliente Interactive for its dominant position in Mexico’s iGaming market. For 2026 however, our iGaming Operator of the Year is FanDuel Casino for achieving the hardest feat in the sector – scaling rapidly and stealing market share from entrenched legacy casino brands.
