One of the most prestigious journals for the online gaming industry, eGaming Review, recently held its 6th annual EGR Awards function which was attended by all the big names of the online industry.

This year EGR made a decision to grant recognition to consumers that served business in the industry without actually reaching out directly to the consumers. The awards were called the EGR B2B (Business to Business) Awards and categories included mobile, recruitment, betting and gaming software, marketing, payments, IT and infrastructure.

Moneybookers was founded in 2001 as an e-commerce business for the purposes of transferring funds across the Internet, including to online gambling sites. In March 2007 Moneybookers was bought by Investcorp Technology Partners. Today Moneybookers operates in all countries and has over 7 million account holders. Moneybookers carries out financial transactions in almost 30 currencies and offers local payments in more than 30 countries. Though the general procedure of using Moneybookers is common throughout the world, there are local variations depending on national requirements. Moneybookers is registered in the United Kingdom and is regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

Moneybookers, a leading electronic payments services provider to online casinos and merchants, has recently issued its own prepaid card known as Moneybookers MasterCard.

The new card will enable Moneybookers’ customers to gain access to funds in their Moneybookers eWallet accounts at all retail outlets and ATMS that display the MasterCard Acceptance Mark in any part of the world.
