Award Winners List

This year was tough for some online casinos due to changing legislation and regulations in various countries, but others showed great promise and fortitude. To recognize the outstanding companies in the internet gaming industry, the third annual eGaming Awards was held last week. The event was held in London at the Natural History Museum and handed out awards recognizing a variety of accomplishments in the online casino, betting, sports betting, internet poker, and related online gaming industries.

Some of the winners were of no surprise; companies like Betfair and Sportingbet took home top honors. But some of the companies in the online casino industry were a little harder to guess a head of time because so many of the internet gambling sites were hit hard by the U.S. withdrawal from the market. And on top of that, the online casinos industry has been subject to significant changes not including the U.S.’s legislation. In the UK, many internet gambling companies were forced to overhaul policies and procedures to align with the 2005 Gambling Act that took effect on September 1, 2007.
