With competition fierce in the online gaming market, success is no longer measured in dollars and cents but also in reputation, integrity and customer satisfaction. In 2005, readers of Gambling Online Magazine have acknowledged this trend and have rewarded pioneers InterCasino.com (www.InterCasino.com) as the ‘Best Online Casino' for an unheralded, fifth year running. The poll - the largest sampling of online gamblers ever - incorporated over 30 categories with InterCasino winning ‘Gold' in 5 categories and ‘Silver' in several others.

“Internet gambling is a new but maturing business, and to ensure that our customers are playing in the safest and most exciting site on the web, we need to constantly react to the feedback and criticisms from our customers,” said Peter Marcus, InterCasino spokesperson. “We are extremely grateful to all the InterCasino players whose constant support and guidance have made our site what it is, and we thank them for this award.”

In addition to claiming the Top Casino award, Gambling Online readers bestowed InterCasino with the Silver Award for Best Reputation.

Other reader's poll awards given to the InterCasino group include the Silver Award to InterPoker (www.InterPoker.com) for Best Poker Software, the Silver Award to PartnerLogic for Best Affiliate Program. Additionally, PartnerLogic received the Editor's Pick Award for Best Affiliate Program.

Also making an indelible mark in the world of online gaming, InterBingo.com (www.InterBingo.com) claimed its first Gold Award for Top Bingo Site of 2005. “Bingo is one of the most rapidly growing and wildly popular games on the web, and to keep up with the tastes and styles of our players, we need to constantly adapt to meet our customers' needs,” said Katherine Riley of InterBingo.com. “Ensuring that our site is the best, most fun place to play online is a demanding task and we are very pleased to receive this honor from our players.”
