After weeks of voting and a highly anticipated contest draw, the LCB Awards 2025 officially concluded with a live stream on January 15, marking the fourth edition of this event. The awards recognize brands and developers that made significant contributions to online casino entertainment and player experience during the year.
Award Winners Announced
Eight categories formed the core of this year’s awards program: Best Online Casino, Helping Hand, Rising Star, Prime Perks, Live Dealer Games, Members Choice, Gamecraft Mastery, and Spin Me Round.
Candidates competed for recognition based on reputation, fair terms, smooth payments, attentive support, software quality, bonus offerings, and where applicable – technical and payout performance for games and software solutions. A jury appointed by LCB selected winners in all categories except Members Choice, which was decided entirely by LCB members and players.
The 2025 winners are as follows:
Best Online Casino – Gamblezen
Helping Hand – Casino Extreme
Rising Star – Orbit Spins Casino
Prime Perks – Vegas Casino Online
Live Dealer Games – Snatch Casino
Members Choice – Eternal Slots Casino
Gamecraft Mastery – Pragmatic Play
Spin Me Round – Jurassic Journey
These winners emerged from a nomination and shortlisting process shaped by community voting, industry performance, and the review criteria outlined for each award.
Community Voting Contest and Prize Distribution
Alongside the award categories, the event again featured its community voting contest with a total prize pool of $6,000. From November 20, 2025 until January 5, 2026, voters participated daily to support their preferred candidates. Registered LCB members and guests contributed to the total of 650,858 votes, split between 219,082 votes from members and 431,776 votes from guests. Members also collected raffle tickets for each vote submitted, making them eligible for cash prizes awarded during the January 15 livestream on the LCB Twitch channel.
The main prize pool of $5,000 was distributed among forty-five randomly selected winners during the draw.
Ten additional consolation prizes totaling $1,000 were reserved for members with the highest number of votes who did not receive one of the top ten randomly drawn prizes. This prize structure ensured that community participation played a meaningful role in both the shortlisting process and the contest outcomes.
A Successful Fourth Edition
This year’s awards continued to highlight operators, developers, and community members who contribute to the broader online gambling space. The combination of category awards, community voting, and prize distribution reflected LCB’s intention to celebrate excellence while acknowledging the role of players who engage with casinos, software, and games throughout the year. The fourth edition of the LCB Awards concluded with strong participation and a diverse field of nominees, reaffirming the importance of recognition within the iGaming sector.
