Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards 2025
The 2025 edition of the Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards, held in Yerevan on July 9, represented a significant milestone for the global iGaming and Web3 sectors. The event brought together over 500 senior industry stakeholders, innovators, and corporate leaders to recognise excellence in technological innovation and creative achievement within the digital entertainment ecosystem.
This year’s awards programme comprised 20 categories, segmented across the Ortak, FTN, and YoDoor divisions. Each category was designed to highlight advancements in NFT applications, digital asset tokenisation, and immersive virtual environments, areas increasingly shaping the evolution of interactive entertainment.
Winning entries demonstrated a broad range of forward-looking concepts, from innovative gameplay mechanics to large-scale virtual real estate developments. Each award included a 10,000 FTN prize, supported by a distinguished group of event sponsors.
For the first time, brands were able to sponsor specific award categories, establishing a new model of strategic engagement. Sponsors received elevated visibility throughout the event, promotion across BetConstruct’s international communication channels, and integration into a two-month tournament campaign across the BetConstruct network—maximising both reach and relevance.
Participating sponsors included leading global firms such as Evolution, Pragmatic Play, VBET, Playtech, SBC Media & SBC Events, Spribe, SiGMA AIBC, SmartSoft, and others. These sponsors played an instrumental role in enhancing the event’s impact and prestige across all audience touchpoints.
A key highlight of the ceremony was the direct involvement of sponsors in the awards presentation. Representatives from each sponsoring organisation were invited on stage to introduce their respective categories and announce the winners. This format fostered direct alignment between sponsors and award recipients, reinforcing brand association with innovation and leadership in the sector.
Beyond the awards presentation, the Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards functioned as a wider platform for industry engagement. Attendees participated in networking opportunities, strategic discussions, and collaborative moments that underscored the event’s role as a key fixture in the annual digital gaming calendar.
The conclusion of the 2025 edition signals a broader trajectory for the Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards as a catalyst for innovation and cross-sector collaboration. With plans for expanded category inclusion, enhanced brand participation, and continued focus on emerging technologies, the event is poised to strengthen its position as a defining forum for the future of iGaming and Web3.
