The award, the brainchild of Fintan Costello and Jon Bruford, co-hosts of The Gambling Files podcast, aims to reward excellence in industry journalism with meaningful prizes.
Awarded during the European Casino Awards as part of the Gambling Book Awards, the main prize is £4,000 to the winner, with £1,000 for each of the runners-up.
The ECA event is on 19 January at the Renaissance Barcelona Fira hotel.
“There are some terrific writers in the gambling industry, and some solid journalism. Launching this as part of the Gambling Book Awards just made sense to us as fans of great writing,” said Fintan Costello, co-founder of the awards.
Jon added: “Sponsorships are available.”
