Wazdan has secured nominations in three categories at the Global Regulatory Awards 2026, with its compliance work receiving recognition across different parts of the business. The company has been shortlisted for Compliance Professional of the Year and Legal Team of the Year, along with the Marketing Compliance Governance Excellence Award.
Vixio organises the Global Regulatory Awards, which recognise work carried out by individuals, teams and organisations in compliance and responsible gambling. Wazdan’s nominations cover several areas connected with regulatory practices within the company, reflecting responsibilities handled by both individual professionals and wider internal teams.
Each category examines a different element of regulatory work. The Compliance Professional of the Year award centres on the contribution of individual employees to establishing effective compliance practices within an organisation. Wazdan’s inclusion in this category places attention on the role that individual compliance specialists play in supporting company-wide regulatory processes.
Legal Team Receives Recognition
Wazdan has also reached the shortlist for Legal Team of the Year, a category focused on legal teams that support businesses in meeting regulatory requirements and responding proactively when regulations change.
Legal departments operating within regulated industries deal with requirements that can develop as markets and regulatory frameworks change. The award category specifically recognises the role these teams have in helping companies respond to such developments while maintaining appropriate legal and regulatory processes.
Wazdan’s nomination in this area forms another part of its presence at the 2026 awards. The company’s legal team is being considered separately from the individual compliance category, giving the business recognition across more than one part of its regulatory operations.
The nominations therefore cover work undertaken at both individual and team levels. They also reflect the way compliance-related responsibilities extend beyond a single function within the company.
Marketing Governance Included Among Nominations
The Marketing Compliance Governance Excellence Award represents another area in which Wazdan has been shortlisted. This category concentrates on the systems used to oversee responsible and transparent marketing activity.
Its criteria include the accountability arrangements supporting marketing compliance, together with regulatory controls. Risk management connected with marketing activity also forms part of the category’s focus.
The nomination highlights the governance processes behind marketing rather than promotional campaigns themselves. It considers how organisations supervise marketing activity and establish structures intended to support compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
With Wazdan appearing in this category alongside its other nominations, the company has received recognition for regulatory work extending into marketing governance as well as its legal and compliance functions.
Wazdan Highlights Company-Wide Compliance Approach
Commenting on the three nominations, Wazdan Chief Commercial Officer Andrzej Hyla described compliance as a responsibility that extends across the business rather than remaining limited to a particular department or point in company operations.
Hyla said:
“Compliance is not something that belongs to one team or one stage of the process. As we continue to operate across regulated markets, it has to be considered throughout the business and built into how we work.
Having nominations across three different areas reflects that broader approach and, most importantly, the work of the people behind it.”
His comments connect the company’s presence in several award categories with its approach to incorporating compliance throughout its operations .The nominations separately recognise an individual compliance role and the work of the legal team. Marketing governance is covered through the company’s third shortlisted category.
The Global Regulatory Awards 2026 nominations place Wazdan among the individuals, teams and organisations being recognised by Vixio for their work in compliance and responsible gambling. For Wazdan, the shortlist includes recognition tied to internal compliance practices as well as legal operations and the governance applied to marketing activity.
