KING BILLY CASINO: ONE KING TO RULE THEM ALL AT THE ASKGAMBLERS AWARDS!
There were a lot of firsts in the industry on the first of February 2018! AskGamblers, the trusted and well respected online casino portal, itself a many times awarded website, held its first ever AskGamblers Awards. In an impressive ceremony, pretty much reminding the EBU’s Eurovision Contest format, prizes were given in three categories, including Best New Casino.
They say that there can be only one King! And in the AskGamblers 2018 Awards, this was confirmed in this year’s Best New Casino category. Under fierce competition of the highest possible quality, with no less than 75 new casinos participating and with a lot of suspense until the last moment, King Billy Casino came first, winning the hearts of both the judges and the public.
King Billy Casino CEO, commented on the news: “A milestone for the Kingdom and a day of joyous celebration for us all! I want to thank the whole King Billy team for doing the extra mile that has brought this fantastic result to us, as well as all the players who voted for us. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts! But we do not stop here. As they say, it is easier to get to the top than it is to stay there. So, all of us are ready for the next challenges and we are determined to keep the King where he deserves to be: Always at the top!”.
