At a ceremony that rewards and celebrates the very best service providers in the online gaming industry, UKVIA member 1account was named Compliance & KYC Supplier of the Year at the EGR B2B Awards.
Regarded as one of the most hotly contested categories, the external judging panel chose 1account as their winner from a shortlist of 15 of the industry’s most established suppliers.
EGR’s independent judges recognised 1account’s commercial achievements, from its market-leading verification rates, to its forward-thinking suite of technology products.
Accountancy giant Deloitte officiated the judging process – one of the most stringent in the industry – to ensure the winners clearly demonstrated the innovation, growth and success required to be rewarded with this honour.
Ben Keirle, CEO and founder of 1account, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won yet another award for our KYC and AML products, especially against such a strong shortlist this year.
“With such a rigorous judging process in place, it means a lot to myself and the rest of the 1account team to be recognised as one of the leading lights in the compliance space. This accolade will fuel our work even further, to bring more innovation and success to the operators and brands that we work with.”
The ceremony took place at The Brewery – a Grade II listed London venue – to preside over a total of 42 categories covering major egaming disciplines including betting and gaming software, networks, mobile, payments, recruitment, IT and infrastructure.
“This win represents another step in 1account’s evolution, and we have no intention of resting on our laurels, with more product improvements and releases scheduled this year,” continued Ben. “It’s a highly competitive and regulated industry, but we’ll always be looking to shake things up for the better, whatever future legislation throws our way.”
