EGT Philippines’ Regional Director Mariana Manchina has been named “Rising Star” at the 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards

Mariana Manchina, Regional Director of EGT Philippines, received well-deserved recognition at the 2026 IAG Academy IR Awards. At a lavish ceremony held on September 15, she has been acknowledged as a "Rising Star”, joining the Hall of Fame of the competition, which honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the gaming industry in the Asia-Pacific region.

This distinction highlights Ms. Manchina’s exceptional leadership qualities, thanks to which EGT has established itself as a preferred provider of gaming solutions for numerous key players across Asia. She commented: "I am very proud to take this accolade. I would like to congratulate the other winners and thank the organizers of the event, our clients and partners, without whose invaluable support our success tonight would not have been possible. Last but not least, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my incredible colleagues, together with whom we have accomplished all these achievements."

In addition, EGT Digital has also been recognized at the ceremony. It won the accolade in the Best iGaming Supplier category in acknowledgment of its extensive portfolio of iGaming solutions, which includes its modular platform X-Nave and the in-house developed casino games. Earlier this year, EGT Philippines obtained Game Aggregator and Game Content Provider licenses from the Philippine regulator PAGCOR, enabling it to supply EGT Digital’s products to licensed operators in the country—an important step that significantly expands its reach into this high-potential market and the region as a whole.

The IAG Academy IR Awards are held annually as part of IAG Expo. This year’s edition presented awards across a total of 26 industry categories and 3 special Hall of Fame categories, once again cementing its status as one of the most prestigious competitions in the gaming industry.
