PHANTOM AND EXCAPSA TEAM UP FOR MOBILE
UltimateBet poker the first to introduce new mobile service
The Canadian turnkey poker and casino provider Excapsa has partnered with wireless technology provider Phantom Fiber to offer a mobile gaming service to customers.
This new distribution method for the Excapsa poker product integrates a shared eWallet with the provider's other games and is available across global communications networks to mobile users on over 1 000 wireless devices including mobile phones and PDA's.
Excapsa licensee brand UltimateBet is the first to enjoy the benefits of the branded mobile solution enabling their customers to experience the new technology while integrating directly into the Excapsa gaming network. Incorporating a branded mobile solution allows Excapsa's licensees to tap further into the estimated $11.9 billion global gaming market and reach targeted European markets for expansion. A company spokesman said this will become a key differentiator among online gaming competitors as mobile gaming becomes more widely used.
Excapsa's wholly owned licensing subsidiary, Game Theory Limited, has signed a 5-year partnership deal with Phantom Fiber to launch the mobile platform. The Phantom Fiber technology allows Excapsa to integrate its gaming network with global mobile communication networks securely and instantly using over 1 000 different mobile phone models.
Commenting on this partnership, Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Excapsa said: "The potential for mobile solutions in the online gaming market is still evolving as the user base becomes more experienced and connectivity for this sophisticated software becomes increasingly viable. As one of the first online gaming software developers to provide a mobile solution for their poker product, we are able to continually enhance our software to take full advantage of this distribution method as the market grows. This also allows us to provide licensees within our network with a new avenue through which to leverage customer relationships."
Jeff Halloran, President and CEO of Phantom Fiber said that as one of the first live global poker offerings, the new service was good news: "Our five-year license agreement with Excapsa Software not only demonstrates our mutual commitment to a successful partnership, but it absolutely validates our continued commitment to maintaining our dominant position as the leading mobile platform provider to the gaming and entertainment sector," he said.
Excapsa manages the Excapsa Gaming Network. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Game Theory Limited, the network licensee brands include UltimateBet.com, UltimatePoker.com, CardPlayerPoker.com, Bet21.com, UpperClassPoker.com, MagicPalacePoker.com, GreentiePoker.com, DV8Poker.com, and NationalLampoonPoker.com.
