2007 Online Casino Awards Released Today by Oggs Website

The winners of the 2007 Oggs Online Casino Awards were announced today with awards honoring operators, casinos and games. Several awards were received by those who provided the best in entertainment, customer service and other areas.

The Best United States Casino for 2007 went to iNetBet. They received the award for their use of Real Time Gaming software. This category was affected because of the UIGEA that was passed in October 2006. It made it difficult for any casino to operate successfully in the US, yet iNetBet stayed and managed to maintain their operations in the US with reputable customer service and a strengthened reputation. The first runner up in the category was Nostalgia Casino. They use the Microgaming gaming software and were honored for their promotions and Neteller options.

The Best UK Casino of 2007 went to Virgin Casino. They were awarded the honor for their simplistic and easy to use site, fast cash outs and game choice. The runner-up in this category was Ladbrokes. They use Microgaming interface that has Live Dealer plug-ins and Slot Tournaments.

The Best Japanese Casino in 2007 award went to Gaming Club. The iBig website followed in second place. It was a close call between the two as they both use Microgaming and have great promotions. However, Gaming Club has been around longer and has established themselves as a reputable company.

The Best EU Casino for 2007 went to Bet365. They use Playtech software and barely beat out Intercasino who uses Cryptologic software. Bet365 won because of their customer service and the number of European languages the site has to offer.

The Best Casino Group award goes to The Casino Action Group of Casinos. The judges chose them because of their rewards and loyalty programs. Also they noted that the group had raised the bar when it came to customer service. Also the use of Neteller was a contributing factor.

The Best New Casino award went to Globet Casino who uses the Microgaming Viper programming. The Best New Slot Game went to Hitman, which is a Microgaming slot game. It is based on a popular game available on game systems such as Xbox, Pc and Sony PS.

The awards were given to the people in the online gaming industry who continue to strive to make the online gaming experience a better one. Whether it is through customer service, software, payment options, or choice of games, the operators, developers and online casinos are working hard and Oggs will recognize those who are doing a good job. Congratulations to those who won and keep working hard for next years awards.
