At the forefront of the initial poker boom after Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 World Series of Poker, it is a brand that many online gamers are intimately familiar with.

Enjoying a successful IPO in 2005, it went through a merger to become known as Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment in 2011.

3) William Hill
 
Founded over 80 years ago, William Hill was an established gaming company long before the internet was even a thing.

Cutting its teeth as a sports book in its early days, it has many brick and mortar bet taking shops throughout the United Kingdom that still act as the backbone of its operations.

However, the information age has expanded their reach worldwide, as it takes bets on not only sports events, but on the outcome of reality TV shows and political contests.

It also offers other online casino games such as roulette, bingo, and poker, making William Hill one of the best-rounded gaming companies on the web.
