The integrated sites offer the opportunity for BetWWTS and Cybersportsbook customers to win a share of the more than $2,000,000 worth of monthly winnings paid out within the GameAccount network, which includes among others Sportingbet, PaddyPower and SkyBet.

"Big cash tournaments and P2P (Peer-to-Peer) skill games like Backgammon resonate with sportsbook clients that visit our site as they are able to wager in a secure environment that offers the opportunity to back themselves to win," said Andy Bell, Head of Casino & Games at Betcorp.

Differentiating your gaming products is a serious marketing priority in a highly competitive space. Were pleased to be able to work with these leading sites and provide their customer base with a unique gaming experience that really delivers returns to the operator and user," agreed Meir Moses, Marketing Manager at GameAccount.
