CRYPTOLOGIC LTD ("CRY-T")
- Integrates Poker Site Into Betsafe eWallet
CryptoLogic Limited, a leading software developer to the global
Internet gaming market, announced the complete integration of its poker
site into Betsafe's online eWallet payment system. Betsafe, one of the
world's leading suppliers of online gaming and sportsbook products, joined
CryptoLogic's poker network in January 2007.
The addition means that Betsafe players can now enjoy the convenience
of having one single account for all of their gaming needs. Prior to the
integration, Betsafe's poker site was not connected to its sportsbook
product. This combination means a seamless and enhanced Internet experience
for Betsafe customers and improved opportunities for cross-selling from the
sportsbook to the poker product.
"This day's announcement demonstrates CryptoLogic's commitment to
enhancing the player experience with flexible, customer and player-centric
solutions," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "Our
focus is to strengthen relationships by working closely with our licensees
to find out what their players want - and then delivering superior products
that meet their unique needs."
It is expected that the integration into Betsafe's eWallet will lead to
a significant increase in the player conversion of sportsbook customers to
CryptoLogic's online poker product. As part of this day's agreement,
Betsafe will also increase its marketing initiatives for its online poker
segment, which should lead to an even larger increase in player conversion.
Betsafe's players have access to one of the world's largest shared
poker networks that excludes the US market, enabling them to find a game at
the level and stake they want, in the currency they want, when they want.
Players can also take advantage of some of the Internet's most popular
online poker games, including Hold'Em BlackjackTM - an exclusive game which
combines the intensity of poker with the simplicity of blackjack - and the
Headhunter Challenge, an innovative multi-table poker concept in which
players can earn cash for every 'head' they eliminate.
"The launch of our single wallet is much awaited and we believe that
this integration will have a strong positive effect on all our products,
said Henrik Persson, Betsafe's CEO.
With more than 70,000 customers from more than 100 different countries,
Betsafe is one of the leading suppliers of online gaming products on the
Scandinavian market. Since the official launch of Betsafe in 2006, Betsafe
has established themselves as one of the most trusted and reliable gaming
companies in the industry, offering its customers a wide selection of
innovative products, such as poker, sportsbetting and casino games. Betsafe
was also awarded top position in TIPS Magazine's bookmaker test in 2007.
"CryptoLogic continues to increase player loyalty and deliver success
for our licensees with its customized solutions," added Justin Thouin,
CryptoLogic's Vice President, Product Management and Business Development.
