Group Finance Director at Sportingbet, Jim Wilkinson, said, "GameAccount has been providing games to Sportingbet since 2004 and their software today generates a material proportion of Net Gaming Revenue for our casino and games business by offering browser-based games software with a particular strength in person-to-person skill games, tournaments and localization for European markets," adding, "This deal ensures our players enjoy ongoing access to one of the largest communities of skill games players in Europe and fits with our strategy of providing our customers with the best possible experience as a result,"
Dermot Smurfit, GameAccount CEO said, "We are delighted to continue developing our relationship with Sportingbet and delivering a compelling experience to their customers. Our continued focus on skill games such as backgammon is delivering results with excellent yields per active player day."
