Dublin, Ireland, 12 August 2009 – Two of the leading free-to-play games publishers, Jolt Online Gaming and playnik.com, today announced a strategic partnership which will see cross-publishing of their respective games in Europe and North America.

It’s an excellent opportunity to bring our games to Germany and also to add some great new games to our portfolio for North America and the UK.
