Online Casino Nominees

Oggs.com has an annual list of nominees and then winners from their online casino site that they give out awards to. They call it the Global Online Casino Awards and they have been doing this for five years now. Each year it gains in popularity and it gets tougher and tougher to stand out and gain a nomination. This year is no different, in that the list has grown exponentially from last year, and as usual they will be releasing the winners at the end of the year.

The short list of nominees was released today, and it covers all kinds of categories as well as territories across the globe. The eCOGRA recognized online casino site releases awards that cover everything from best new online slots, best new online casinos, even best new online casino groups. The nominees will be voted on by online casino moderator and players. Some of the biggest names in the online casino industry voted last year – including Virgin Online Casino and 32Red Online Casino.

This year the quality of the winners will be even greater especially since they have such tougher competition to contend with. With so much more being offered in graphics and audio options, online casino gamers have come to expect much more from their sites. It has also been tough for US players to find those sites that are available to them, as so many of them stopped offering their services to those from the States after the passage of the UIGEA.

This year saw the addition of many other online casino sites that are allowing US players instead. Some of the more popular ones may have gone away, but in their place have been offered some real gems of sites.
