WEBWIRE – Saturday, December 3, 2011

123gaming has for the second time won the top prize in its category at the eGaming Review operator awards 2011, Europe’s most prestigious gaming industry event.

The UK-based interactive gaming developer led a strong field to pick up the Skill Gaming Operator of the Year title for its innovative wagering product - 123racing, beating major contenders William Hill Online and Boylesports. Underpinned by proprietary technology, 123racing integrates social gaming and mainstream betting and is available in the US in both pay-to-play and free-to-play versions. The accolade makes it a double for 123gaming, which in 2007 won the eGaming Review Start-up Operator of the Year.

The win comes as 123gaming puts together a stage-two funding round to facilitate the launch of its next generation online platform in North America and to progress international partnership opportunities. The technology is being developed in close co-operation with Sportech Racing, the world’s leading supplier of pools betting technology. 123gaming has successfully positioned itself in the US, a challenging market that is widely considered the Holy Grail for gaming and technology companies.

Robert Earle, CEO of UK-based 123gaming, said: “Players love our wagering and free play games because they are fun and easy to use. Winning this recognition from our peers in this industry is a major boost for our team who has worked extremely hard to make 123gaming a success.”
