Vixio is delighted to announce that Wes Himes will receive the prestigious award for Compliance Lifetime Achievement at the 2025 Global Regulatory Awards.
The Compliance Lifetime Achievement Special Award recognises the achievements of an individual who has been involved in the gambling industry for many years and whose input to advancing the culture of compliance and regulatory standards within the industry has been outstanding.
Wes, who is currently a partner with Intrepid Partners, served as the Executive Director of Standards and Innovation at the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) before pivoting into a new role as Senior Adviser. He has served as the former CEO of the Remote Gambling Association (RGA), and prior to that, he was a Managing Partner with Instinctif Partners. He was the founder and CEO of Policy Action, a public affairs and trade association management firm based in Brussels and London. As part of Policy Action, Wes started the interactive Gaming, Gambling and Betting Association (iGGBA) in 2000, later becoming part of the Remote Gambling Association.
For these reasons and more, Vixio is delighted to announce that the independent judging panel has selected Wes Himes as the 2025 Compliance Lifetime Special Achievement Award winner.
Himes said, “I am truly humbled to be receiving this award. When I started in this industry 25 years ago, I had no idea how dynamic and exciting the sector would later become. It has been a privilege and a pleasure working with so many colleagues that I call friends, and I can not thank enough the operators and other stakeholders who have been so supportive of my work and career."
The 2025 Global Regulatory Award winners will be presented at a black-tie ceremony on November 19, 2025.
