The 2008 eGaming Review Industry Awards are taking place in London in two weeks, and a list of the nominees has just been released.

eGaming Review Magazine – both on its print and online version – bills itself as “the world’s acknowledged leaders in business-to-business information provision for the online gaming market.” The magazine provides analysts, journalists and decision makers with comprehensive, up-to-date information on all issues related to the online gaming business, including legal issues, payment processing and technology.

It is only fitting that such a well-informed entity should host a yearly award-giving ceremony to recognize the best in the industry in categories such as “Socially responsible operator of the year,” “Affiliate of the year” and “Poker operator of the year.” Executives from the main poker sites, casinos, bingos and affiliates – along with all related industries – will don their best duds on September 19 to attend the black-tie event, which will include a drinks reception and three-course dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, followed by entertainment and an afterparty.
