Allwyn Hellas received two major international honours, being named “Employer of the Year – Operator” and awarded Bronze in the “Socially Responsible Initiative of the Year” category at this year’s SBC Awards, one of the most important awards in the global gaming industry.
The double international recognition reflects two of Allwyn Hellas’s strategic priorities: continued investment in its people and its firm commitment to promoting Responsible Gaming, the company said in a statement.
Being named “Employer of the Year – Operator” confirms the strength of its people-centred culture, while the award in the “Socially Responsible Initiative of the Year” category recognises the company’s comprehensive and consistent work to protect players.
The SBC Awards 2026 were presented at a special event in Lisbon, as part of the SBC Summit, one of the largest international conferences for the online gambling industry.
A company with its people at the heart of its business
This is the first time Allwyn Hellas has received the “Employer of the Year – Operator” award at the SBC Awards. The honour recognises Allwyn Hellas as a leading employer in the global gaming industry, thanks to the wide-ranging strategy it has put in place to support its people’s development and wellbeing.
The company continues to invest in creating a modern working environment that meets international standards, giving its approximately 1,400 employees the tools, opportunities and support they need to work together, grow and fulfil their potential.
Key elements of Allwyn Hellas’s people strategy include two-way communication initiatives, personalised development plans, talent management programmes and initiatives to build and advance skills. This approach has helped Allwyn Hellas earn Top Employer certification in Greece for four consecutive years.
International recognition for Responsible Gaming
The Bronze award in the “Socially Responsible Initiative of the Year” category at the SBC Awards 2026 is further recognition of the company’s strategy and initiatives in Responsible Gaming. The award is particularly significant as it marks the fourth consecutive year the company has received international recognition in this field.
Allwyn Hellas runs a comprehensive range of initiatives and activities to promote Responsible Gaming. With player protection as its guiding principle, the company uses AI and promotes innovation and responsible marketing and communications practices, while also focusing on public education and awareness.
Among other measures, Allwyn Hellas uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to identify patterns of excessive gambling and runs dedicated campaigns and information events on Responsible Gaming.
