Svenska Spel is the first government-owned gaming company to launch an online poker website. The company received approval from the government in November 2005 and preparatory work was undertaken at full speed to create a world-class poker site in terms of entertainment and gaming responsibility.
Johan Berg, President of Boss Media, said he expects more government gaming companies to follow Svenska Spel’s footsteps in the near future.
“There are more companies in the starting blocks and they are well aware of our role in the development of this poker site and how important it is that the system supplier is the right one.”
“Gaming responsibility is a critical factor for the government-owned licensed gaming companies. Our solution is clearly more advanced that what is available on the market today. It creates greater security for the end-users as well as for the gaming company since they gain increased control of the gaming operations,” he added.
In separate news, Boss Media acquired 20% in Hong Kong based e-sports provider Bele Ltd.
“This is of course a unique opportunity for Boss Media to invest in Bele who is in pole position to capture the fast growing Chinese e-sports market. This will build our experience and knowledge for the future about one of the worlds biggest consumer markets, but even more importantly, a way for us to establish invaluable contacts in China,” said Johan Berg, CEO of Boss Media.
“If and when the Chinese market deregulates, access to Bele\’s infrastructure will enable our customers to quickly tap in to the Chinese market” added Markus Holm, CFO of Boss Media.
