The Global Regulatory Awards (GRAs) are Vixio's annual awards for the individuals, teams and organisations that set the standard in gambling compliance, regulation and safer gambling. The 2026 edition is the tenth. Its theme is "A Decade of Diamonds", and the evening returns to the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London's Covent Garden/Holborn area, where it has been held since 2019. An independent panel of industry experts judges the nominations. For 2026 there are 20 categories covering compliance officers and teams, AML/MLR professionals, RegTech, payments, testing labs, regulatory law firms and lawyers, marketing compliance and safer gambling, plus a Compliance Lifetime Achievement Special Award. Vixio reports 175 finalists from more than 100 organisations. The ceremony is a seated gala dinner sold by the table to operators, suppliers, regulators, law firms and advisers. It includes a three-course dinner with drinks, a welcome drinks reception and an after-party. Vixio says the 2025 edition drew more than 300 guests.
