North American Gaming Regulators Association

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2026 NAGRA Excellence in Gaming Awards!

This year, we honor Paul Resch of the Pennsylvania Gaming Industry for his decades of dedication and innovation, including his leadership in iGaming regulatory advancements and enhanced player protections.

We also celebrate the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement for setting the standard in responsible gaming, consumer protection, and progressive online gaming regulations. Their ongoing work continues to shape a safer, more robust gaming environment for all.

Thank you to all who contribute to excellence in gaming regulation and enforcement!

An award is given each year at the NAGRA Annual Education and Training Conference to an individual or team who has demonstrated excellence in the field. Nominations are encouraged and welcomed throughout the year! Please consider the great work being done by a team or individual deserving of this award and nominate them today!
