iGB Affiliate Award Ceremony Video

The iGB Affiliate Awards is the affiliate marketing's glitziest event of the year. Hitting off the London Affiliate Conference (LAC), on January 28, 2010, the iGB Awards featured over 500 guests in good moods, an entertainment program and 23 winners in a host of categories.

Winners were voted by the gambling community for weeks prior to the event, and then chosen by an awards committee on behalf of iGaming Business. "It's the best way we know how to reward the amount of effort and dedication every affiliate and affiliate manager put into their campaigns and work throughout the year," Alex Pratt, Head of iGaming Business said. "And best of all this is voted and judged by industry peers - the best validation you can get."
