Three PokerStars related stories including victory at the gaming industry Oscars, a deal with Leander Games to showcase Blueprint gaming content, and sister site Full Tilt are finally on Steam.

PokerStars has won the illustrious Online Poker Operator of the Year award at the 9th Annual International Gaming Awards (IGA) at the Savoy Hotel in London.

It was the fourth consecutive year that PokerStars have picked up this particular award at the gaming industry Oscars. It was the only award they were nominated for. Full Tilt also made the shortlist, as did 888Poker, Sky Betting & Gaming, Unibet and WSOP (Caesars).

PokerStars also sponsored two of the awards: the Technology Provider/Supplier award and the iGaming Software Supplier. Amaya Gaming were on the shortlist for the Socially Responsible Operator of the Year Online, but walked home empty handed.
