As the only iGaming awards originating in Norway, the Kongebonus Awards also reflect trends that resonate across Europe and within the global community.
Honoring talent across modern game development—from graphics and sound design to inventive gameplay mechanics—the 2025 award categories include:
- Beste Spillutvikler – Best Game Provider

Building on last year’s momentum—where Hacksaw Gaming was named Best Game Provider and Print Studios won Best New Slot with Dreadworks—the 2025 Kongebonus Awards once again spotlight both established leaders and rising studios redefining the iGaming landscape.
Eskil Raknes, Casino & Betting Expert at Kongebonus, stated:
“Each year, the Kongebonus Awards shine a light on the ideas and craftsmanship pushing our industry forward. For many developers, a Kongebonus Award is more than a trophy—it’s a respected mark of recognition that elevates a studio’s visibility and opens new doors across the sector. What makes these awards meaningful is the combination of real player votes and expert jury review: players show us what truly resonates, and the jury validates the quality and innovation behind each title. We look forward to your votes and to celebrating the standout achievements of 2025.”
