Nominations are officially open for the prestigious Sport and Wagering Integrity Award, part of the Regulating the Game 2027 global conference and the RTG Global Awards program.
This key category recognizes outstanding initiatives, programs, systems, and partnerships that significantly strengthen the integrity of sport and wagering through prevention, detection, education, collaboration, or governance reform.
