February 23, 2009 (InfoPowa News) — The U.K. skill games provider GameAccount, which already has William Hill, Stan James, Gala Coral and other major gambling groups on its books, has reported signing up Gaming VC this week. The Malta-based operator of various major online sportsbook, poker & casino websites principally targets the German-Austrian and Italian markets.
The multi-year deal gives Gaming VC players access to skill games like Dominoes, Poker Dice, Gin Rummy, Multiplayer Blackjack and the network’s most-popular game, Backgammon.
Kenny Alexander, CEO of Gaming VC Holdings SA, commented: “In my opinion GameAccount’s software suite is the best portfolio of non-poker skill-based games available in the market today. Unlike other suppliers' skill gaming products, GameAccount’s games are proven revenue generators. Furthermore, non-poker skill-based games are expected to become a crucial part of any regulated Italian sportsbook operator’s product portfolio. We are delighted to be joining both their International Network and their Italian Skill Games Network in 2009."
Dermot Smurfit, COO of GameAccount Global, welcomed Gaming VC to the GameAccount skill gaming fold and said: “Outside of the regulated Italian market many existing operator’s businesses remain under pressure to extend customer values and broaden their product’s appeal. Our games enable our blue-chip corporate customers to mine a strong seam of demand for these emerging games in regulated markets."
GamingVC becomes the first licensee sportsbook operator in 2009 to join GameAccount’s International Network following membership by William Hill, Gala Group, Sportingbet Europe, Boylesports, PaddyPower, Stan James, BlueSquare and most recently Betfred. GamingVC also joins GameAccount’s burgeoning Italian Skill Games Network joining dominant retail & online Italian sports betting operator SNAI S.p.A and Eurobet Srl.
