Gearing up for the EGR Awards and IGA Ceremonies - The Academy Awards of Gambling!

The online gambling industry is especially on its toes this time of year as it gears up for the EGR (eGaming Review) awards and the International Gaming Awards.  These "academies" of sorts set the bar for all online gambling sites (operators and non-operators) and serves as a great guide for players to know which sites are strong and deserving of recognition.  In addition, these award ceremonies always go hand-in-hand with industry-wide charitable events, as is the custom is the online gambling industry.

The award ceremonies for both the EGR and International Gaming Awards will take place this year in London, the city that many consider to be the heart and soul of the online gambling industry.  The EGR ceremony will take place on November 30th. 2011, and the International Gaming Awards ceremony is set to take place on January 23rd, 2012.    Alongside the ceremonies will be two charitable concerts to benefit Children with Leukemia and CARE International. 

Nominations for the EGR awards have already closed and currently William Hill is the leader with nominations for 12 different awards.  The award ceremony will take place at the HAC in London and who's who in gaming will be attending. The ceremony will be hosted by top British comedian and TV personality Rufus Hound.  Aside from the entertainment this award ceremony is known as one of the top industry networking events. This will mark the 7th year of the EGR awards and the 5th year of the International Gaming Awards.
