Business Britain has officially announced its online gaming awards, which include the "Best Online Gaming Company of the Year" award for 2005-2006.  Having monitored the UK online gambling industry for the last eighteen months, the award is most definitely legitimate and has gone to none other than CelebPoker.com.  With an increase in player traffic of over 600% since first going online in 2004, CelebPoker has come a very long way in a very short period of time.  Following an April '06 award by Top Pair Magazine for "Best Communications", CelebPoker is becoming one of the hottest UK online poker rooms on the Web.

Recent findings show that over four million UK citizens are going online to gamble at online casinos and poker rooms.  And with annual stake amounts increasing by nearly 600% since 2003, it looks as if the industry will be drawing even more players to online gaming sites in the coming days.  Bettors can rest assured that CelebPoker will be one of these sites seeing even more of an increase in traffic.  And for online poker players, this means guaranteed jackpots and tournaments at CelebPoker will be going for very large sums.

As for the award handed out by Business Britain, the criteria for "Best Gaming Company" included the simplicity of the playing system, facilitation of financial transactions, customer help responsiveness and advice for gambling related issues, overall security of the website, tournaments and table action, prize money and awards, software graphics and appearance of site, the size and demographics of the poker community and the ethics policies of the company.
