These days it seems hardly a week goes by without Gaming Corporation appearing in the headlines with a new acquisition or expansion. This week it was the announcement that the company is moving into the lucrative online poker sector through a deal with Ongame, which recently joined the eCOGRA self-regulatory fold.
Dynamic, London-based Gaming Corporation took over the popular Got2Bet and Gambling.com portals and search engine earlier this year, and also owns Casino.co.uk.
CEO Justin Drummond said that agreement had been reached with Ongame’s PokerNetwork that will enable his company to enter the fast growing online poker market.
Under the terms of the agreement PokerNetwork will provide fully customised poker software that will enable Gaming Corp to offer its rapidly growing database of customers a state of the art and highly liquid multiplayer poker application that can be accessed both online and via a mobile device.
Gaming Corp will undertake all responsibility for customer support and financial transactions but will pay PokerNetwork an ongoing license fee for the use of the poker software.
“This is a key deal for Gaming Corp; we will be able to offer our extensive customer database multi-player poker that can be accessed on the internet or via a normal mobile handset. Mobile poker players simply log on to a live poker table in the same way they do online joining thousands of simultaneous players competing from the internet or mobile device,” Drummond said.
The PokerNetwork includes the massive Poker Room.com, making available literally millions of players and hundreds of tables to poker players seeking the variety and excitement of international poker action.
