On Monday evening prizes were awarded to the best online gaming operators.

Part of this year's Sportel conference, the iGaming Exchanges is a convention for the online gaming industry, in which Monte Carlo SBM has an interest. Votes were cast for gaming websites, taking into account reputation, registration, ease of use, bonus prizes, look and feel, graphics and navigation. Winners for 2010 are:

• PMU
  • Best online horse race betting operator
  • Best online gaming television campaign
  • RueDesJoueurs.com Special Award for "Most Responsible Operator"
• BWIN
  • Best online sports betting operator
  • Best mobile online betting and gaming operator
  • Best online gaming operator of the year
• WINAMAX, Best online poker operator
• 888, Best online casino gaming operator

With 6 nominations and 3 awards, France's PMU were the big winners this year. It's a remarkable achievement since online gaming in France has only been legal since June.
