The players panel starts friday, after the poker and the free beer gets going.

I trust you operators will be attending sober, with plenty plenty questions regarding the player.

I am realy looking forward to this session - Surprisingly people often forget about the user/player which should be a top 5 thought when promoting a product/brand

LOL @ Sober -not everyone gets that memo

Hi Guys, Hope all is well - Just a quick update if you are playing in the ASOP - We have changed the passwords for the Cake tournaments as they were crashed by a load of spammy freeroll whores - We have cleaned the list and will be resending the password again today so keep your eye out on the email if you are registered.

Very anoying as they can't play even if they qualify

Awards PR that just went out - See below - Unbeliveable but we have over 4,000 votes now!! Voting ends on the 8th so not long left

Over 4,000 votes cast for the iGB Affiliate Awards

Numbers keep on rising as the voting deadline approaches

5 January 2010 (London, UK): iGaming Business, event organisers of the prestigious iGB Affiliate Awards, have been watching in awe as the largest number of votes cast in the history of these Awards reached a record-breaking number this week. The online gambling community have come out in droves to vote for their favourite operators, merchants and affiliates, exceeding the magical mark of 4,000 votes cast. The organisers of the event are eagerly awaiting the final number before the voting closes on Friday 8th January 2010.

“It really is an amazing achievement.” Alex Pratt, Publisher of iGaming Business and Head of the iGB Affiliate Series of Events stated “We can proudly say that these awards truly represent the view and opinion of the iGaming industry. More surprisingly with all the votes and nominations, this is still a very close race. Every vote still counts, with many different companies having only the smallest of margins to qualify. So make sure you vote before it’s too late.”

Votes can be made through the website www.iGBAffiliateAwards.com, which serves to recognize the best of the best in the online gambling affiliate market. The total votes for each nominee will carry a weighting which will help them as they go through to the judging round, where a panel of unbiased and confidential series of experts within the industry will analyse each nominee against their specific category criteria. This cloak-and-dagger process is specifically to ensure that neither popularity nor foul play corrupts the integrity of the awards and that the time and effort of the 4,000 voters are adhered to and respected. The entire night is in fact shrouded in secrecy, with no word of yet as to the theme of the evening and the respective finalists.

These illustrious Awards will be celebrated on Thursday 28th January at the Grange St Paul’s Hotel in London and will back onto the London Affiliate Conference (LAC), the largest convention for the iGaming affiliate market which is due to commence the following day at Old Billingsgate Expo. These two legendary events, now in their 4th year, have grown to incredible numbers since their launch in 2007 thanks to continued support from the industry. They will undoubtedly continue to surpass the expectations of both affiliates and operators alike, so make sure you keep glued to the grapevine for all the exciting news and announcements if you’re not lucky enough to be attending.

The website is here: http://www.lyceummedia.com/?page_id=15 The event is at Gilgamesh, (http://www.gilgameshbar.com/) Chalk Farm Road,London,NW1 8AH

My wife and I will be getting there via cab, don't plan on having her in party gear on the tube either way. It looked on Google Earth to be Northwest of the city center.

Hey there,

I have made an LAC map which I will add to as I go along - Let me know if it doesn't work as I am not great at creating these http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=...8ae4bae44&z=13 Also let me know if there is anything more you want added that you think will help people

Re taxis, there is of course black cabs everywhere so you should never have a problem - alternatively keep Addison Lees details on you in case you can't find one as they are always available (unless it is a really busy time and raining so phone early) - They tend to be a little more expensive than a black cab but not much more http://www.addisonlee.com/

Also if you are going to use public transport which I highly recommend as it is bloody easy once you get the hang of it get an Oyster http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/oysteronline/2732.aspx you can use it as a pay as you go or buy travel cards on it - either way is cheaper than a normal ticket. Its also worth considering buying a 7 day travel card - A day travel card is £7.20 for zones 1 - 2 (you shouldn't need more zones) so if you are staying 4 days or more get a 7 day pass which is £25.80

Cheerio - Your resident tour guide

A cab will cost a bloody fortune, i would suggest taking the tube.

Fire and Ice rocks I would say one of the best parties of the year looking forward to seeing many fac ethat will be attending LAC.

Cost aside, I would rather not have my wife on the tube in party gear, she bought a new dress for it yesterday and it is appropriate for the event but not so much for the tube.(?) At least the return to the hotel will need to be cab I know how it gets in the wee hours.

Thought 888 had Friday, website says Saturday for C-Planet, is there a change?

[Cobus]

The website to RSVP says Saturday - I think Alex is overworked...

Good thing is - if you go the Friday night and they tell you it's actually the Saturday night, at least you haven't missed it

Or... maybe Ben's pockets grew ten fold it it is starting Friday and runs through

I know Alex is nearing total baldness getting this all together.
