SPILL GROUP and GameAccount Launch GammonTournaments.com
HILVERSUM, Netherlands, May 11, 2006: SPILL
GROUP and skill game provider GameAccount have joined forces
to launch the next generation in online Backgammon.
GameAccount's browser-based GammonTournaments.com requires
minimal download effort, which unlike other online backgammon
games, can be played immediately. Furthermore,
GammonTournaments.com has been designed to appeal to the
broadest range of players, from recreational newcomers to the
more serious experienced player. The site's target
demographic is both men and women. The multiplayer games will
offer several options, including 'MoneyPlay' and 'MatchPlay'
scoring formats. GameAccount also offers single players the
opportunity to play against revolutionary "playerbots" of all
skill levels.
Backgammon is a hugely popular global parlour game that has
migrated successfully online. Hundreds of thousands of people
enjoy a game of virtual Backgammon and are willing to pay to
take their chances at winning money prizes. The idea of
creating GammonTournaments.com came naturally to the SPILL
GROUP and GameAccount - who have empowered players to stake
up to as much as EUR 250, potentially pocketing nearly twice
as much in winnings.
GameAccount's Backgammon games are designed to maximize speed
in order to meet players' needs for fast results.
GammonTournament's games are classified as skill games and
will therefore be distributed across all Spill Group's
portals.
Players can compete worldwide, owing to the fact that the
GameAccount technology platform can seamlessly handle all
multi-currency and multilingual features required by the
SPILL GROUP. Another convenient advantage is
GammonTournaments.com ability to offer several reputable and
secure payment methods for customers.
"Choosing GameAccount as partner for setting up
GammonTournaments.com was relatively easy, because we
continue to work together very successfully. GameAccount is
well known for their ability to provide high quality skill
games and we are delighted to expand our cooperation," said
Reinout te brake, Marketing & Business Development
Director of SPILL GROUP.
