SKILLJAM TO SUPPLY GAMES TO eBAY
New community gaming area
Internet auction site eBay has signed up FUN Technology subsidiary SkillJam to develop and provide a series of co-branded skill games for its new community gaming area due for launch later this year.
Chess and golf style games will be among the offerings, which users pay a fee to play for the chance of winning cash prizes. eBay will also integrate the games with content on its auction pages.
"If someone is looking at a Web page with a relevant item, such as golf clubs or a chess board, a pop-up will appear on screen inviting them to go to the community section of the site and play a related game," a spokesman for SkillJam revealed.
FUN Technologies also leases its white-label online games software to Virgin, AOL, Microsoft and Disney.
