10th Anniversary International Gaming Awards ceremony will be taking place tonight, awarding those most deserving in a number of relevant categories.
Tonight (Monday, February 6) will see the 10th International Gaming Awards ceremony take place in at prestigious InterContinental London Park Lane in the heart of Mayfair. Every year, the IGA attracts a big number of visitors, from the industry insiders to gaming clients. All of them come together to celebrate the special occasion and share the joy with those most deserving of an award in different categories.
Finalists Shortlist
With the awards ceremony being just hours away, we have the shortlist of nominees in different categories. Those who made the shortlist can look forward to tonight, as they stand a good chance to win the prestigious reward tonight.
There is a large number of categories and nominees in the pipeline, so we'll highlight just a few:

Charitable Efforts
While the focus of the IGA is on honoring the most deserving in the industry, they also try not to lose sight of what's really important - helping those less fortunate. The IGA has been continuously supporting a number of worthwhile charities over the past ten years, with the biggest emphasis on CARE, an organization dedicated to improving lives of those living in poverty around the globe.
Other charities that the IGA supports and helps include Children with Cancer UK, Breakthrough Brest Cancer, and the Responsible Gaming Trust. So far, they've helped raise more than £250,000.
