In London, February is known as the month in which the first-world city transforms into an international iGaming center. February is regarded globally as the month of love. This year has been a special one for The Stars Group, the world’s most renowned poker operator. Its PokerStars brand won every possible award for proficiency in products and services this year.
Total Gaming Expo London’s Gaming Intelligence Awards, the Global Gaming Awards, the International Gaming Awards; you name it, and the online platform has probably won a prestigious award.
This Is the Best Possible Situation
The Gaming Intelligence Awards is one of the most celebrated and prestigious award ceremonies, and is held at the culmination of the most prestigious gaming conference in the world. Therefore, the Poker Operator of the Year distinction is all the more desirable and prestigious. PokerStars won the 2018 Poker Operator of the Year award, which could not have come at a more opportune moment given the recent developments in the world of online poker.
PokerStars has garnered numerous awards over the years for its high-quality products and services, so it should come as no surprise that it has now achieved the highest level of industry recognition. The judges and jury of the Gaming Intelligence Awards are comprised of industry experts, and the nominees are, without exception, the most deserving of recognition in their respective disciplines.
The Ultimate Achievement
The International Gaming Awards and the Global Gaming Awards were virtually identical. The PokerStars brand was named Poker Operator of the Year on both occasions. The Global Gaming Awards, in particular, are notoriously difficult to win, with a council of 50 judges who are all intimately familiar with the iGaming industry, both locally and globally.
In addition, a number of the brand’s key management figures received individual recognition when they were included on the Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 list of achievers. Among the notable attendees were The Stars Group’s CEO, Rafi Ashkenazi, PokerStars’ Director of Casino Product, Innovation, and Operations, Asaf Noifeld, and The Stars Group’s US Senior Vice President of Strategy and Operations, Matt Primeaux.
