InterCasino - An Award Winning Year

LONDON - For the fourth year in a row, InterCasino (www.intercasino.co.uk) has been voted the player's favourite online casino by the readers of Gambling Online Magazine (GOM)! Considered the Oscars of the interactive gaming industry, Gambling Online Magazine's reader's choice poll is the largest sampling of online gamblers anywhere in the world, with over 35,000 online gamblers having participated in the survey.

Out of more than 30 voting categories, InterCasino's award for 'Top Casino' is the highest achievable honour for a casino. InterCasino also received several Honourable Mentions in the GOM awards including 'Best Software', 'Best Reputation', 'Best Sign-Up Bonus', 'Best Rewards Program', 'Best for Customer Service', 'Best Progressive Slots' and an 'Editor's Pick'.

Beyond the awards, mentions and honours, InterCasino was inducted into Gambling Online Magazine's Hall of Fame, a new category created to honour InterCasino for being the player's favourite online casino for four years running.

"InterCasino is in a league of its own as far as players are concerned," said Gambling Online Magazine Editor Michael Caselli. "Every year they continue to impress our readers through constant innovation that makes some of their competitors look like they are standing still. My hat goes off to this year's Top Casino," he continued.

Taking a quote from the Gambling Online Magazine Yearbook, "The constantly innovating InterCasino is recognized for its huge number of MEGA-Jackpot winners, its award-winning affiliate program and its fantastically generous bonuses, player comps and its jovial casino manager Jane Bentley."

InterCasino.co.uk attributes its success to constant innovation. According to InterCasino UK casino manager Jane Bentley, "We strive to continually improve, innovate and deliver the highest possible quality in everything we do. Highlights for me would be launching our UK casino earlier this year, as would being the first online casino to have authentic pub-style Fruit Machines! This award is even more special to InterCasino UK, and to me personally too, as it's from the people that really matter - the players. A big thank you to everyone who voted for us!"
