GPWA Wins iGB Award for Best iGaming Community
We are very pleased to announce that the GPWA won the inaugural Lou Fabiano Award for Best iGaming Community at the iGB Affiliate Awards ceremony this past Thursday in London. According to iGaming Business, the GPWA won the award "because the judges were particularly impressed by their strong reputation and provision of a well-moderated community where members actively contribute to important industry topics."

It is important to note that the judges singled out the GPWA as a "community where members actively contribute," and so this award is truly one which every member should be proud. We earned it together. Thank you for helping to make the GPWA the award-winning community it is today.
