The say just being nominated for an award is an honor. That couldn’t be more true for mobile gaming giant Playtech, who has received a phenomenal 14 nominations for the upcoming 2017 Women in Gaming Awards (WIGs) .
With 14 award categories at this year’s WIGs ceremony (plus the judge’s choice Industry Pride of the Year Award), the fact that Playtech received 14 nominations is an accolade in itself. There are only two categories in which the mobile gaming firm’s name does not appear. However, the women of Playtech did receive 3 (of 8) nominations in a single category.
Playtech 2017 WIGs Nominations
With more than a dozen opportunities to take home some trophies this year, it would be astonishing if Playtech doesn’t win something at the 2017 WIGs ceremony. Its finalist positions include:
Birgit Prants, Casino Release Manager for Playtech’s Estonia office, is nominated for the B2B Excellence Award.
Sari Lichtik, Head of Marcom for Playtech, is up for the Employee of the Year Award.

Efrat Nadel, working out of Los Angeles, California, is the mobile gaming giant’s Vice President of Legal, and is one of 8 women hoping to collect the Industry Achiever Award.
Marianne Võime‘s responsibilities at Playtech are vast, in charge of Communication Management, Employer Branding, Internal Communication and Event Management. For her extensive efforts, the people at WIGs have nominated her for Innovator of the Year.

Kelli Pratt is the Sales Operations Manager at Playtech’s Greater London office, and has been nominated for the WIGs Star of the Future.

Playtech is nominated for the 2017 WIGs Best Place to Work and for the Diversity Award. Additionally, its Consultancy, Research & Innovation and Training Team is up for Team of the Year.
The only two categories in which Playtech’s universally recognized brand name failed to appear as a finalist for were the Affiliate Manager Award, and the Leader Land Based Award.
Only two mobile gaming companies to come anywhere near as many nominations as Playtech this year. They are International Game Technology (IGT) and Microgaming, a pair of distinguished global gaming leaders who each received 10 finalist positions.
