The UK-based Gaming Intelligence and GIQ, its sister branch, have announced a list of 50 most influential people in the online casino gaming industry with the intention of spreading the news about the most talented, successful, and inspiring individuals in Internet gambling business.

A panel of experts, including industry leaders, marketers, CEOs, advocates, entrepreneurs, regulators, techs, and others, have drawn up this list, which is meant to express gratefulness on behalf of online casino, blackjack, and poker gaming communities to all the 50 stars who populate the list.

The nominees for this list are little-known people in the Internet gambling industry such as Daniel Lindberg, the CEO for QuickSpin. Jenny Williams, the regulator at UK Gambling Commission, nominated Lindberg to the list.

The list comprises some popular names too, such as Denise and John of Bet365, Isai Scheinberg of PokerStars, and others. Most of the names are those of individuals associated with Betfair and Playtech, and the only American on the list is Jeff Ifrah, the legal representative for Microgaming, Full Tilt Poker, and PokerStars.

According to Bobby Mamudi, the managing editor of Gaming Intelligence, the above-mentioned Hot 50 list is meant to acknowledge the contributions of all those responsible for the success of the Internet gambling industry.
