PartyGaming News: Danske Spil chooses PartyGaming to launch online games in Denmark

11th January 2010

PartyGaming, the world’s leading listed online gaming company, today announces an exclusive, five-year agreement to provide an online gaming platform for poker and casino games in Denmark for Danske Spil A/S (‘Danske Spil’).

Controlled by the Danish Government, The Danske Spil Group is one of the largest betting and gaming organisations in Europe with DKK 10,955 million of turnover in 2008. Offering a variety of gaming products in Denmark including the national lottery, numbers games, instant games as well as gambling on machines, Danske Spil has also established a large online gaming business and already has over 500,000 registered online customers.

In 2009 the Danish Government published draft legislation for a partially liberalised gaming market in Denmark that is expected to become law in 2011. If adopted, poker and casino will be among the games subjected to open competition in the Danish market. Whilst Danske Spil has strengthened its position in a number of online gaming categories such as bingo, sports betting and casual games with strong growth in the number of players and revenues, it recognised the need to join forces with a leading online gaming company in order to achieve its potential.

Over the past seven months, Danske Spil has screened the market for providers of services and potential online partners that specialise in poker and casino games. As part of its selection criteria, Danske Spil was determined to find a supplier that matched its own high standards for product quality, security and ethical requirements. PartyGaming passed all of these pre-requisites and is set to create a new strategic alliance with Danske Spil in Denmark. It is expected that the commercial terms between both companies will be finalised within the next few weeks.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of PartyGaming said:

“This is a landmark B2B deal for PartyGaming and validates our strategy to become a leading provider of B2B services to both corporates and governments around the world. Danske Spil is widely recognised as one of Europe’s leading gambling businesses, one that is pre-eminent in the Danish market. We are delighted that Danske Spil has recognised our expertise and high standards of business practice and we look forward to building a significant and profitable enterprise as soon as the newly regulated Danish online gaming market opens.”

H.C. Madsen, CEO at Danske Spil, said:

"With some of the world’s leading products in online poker and casino as well as a large international customer base, PartyGaming is definitely a strong business partner for Danske Spil. Combining this with Danske Spil’s unique and strong position in the Danish market with more than 500,000 Danish online customers will guarantee that together we will deliver a highly attractive customer experience to players in Denmark."

PartyPoker Wins eGaming Award - 6th January 2010

Being recognized for a whole year's worth of hard work is something that all poker rooms would like to receive, but in such a competitive market only the best can receive the top prize for each category.

The popular eGaming magazine (EGR) recently recognized the industry’s top online poker rooms and casinos with eighteen different awards. The ceremony took place in London and there were more than nine hundred people in attendance.

The best poker operator award was given to PartyPoker and a special mention was given to PKR. PartyPoker has done an outstanding job this past year in promoting great communication with their players and implementing innovative features into their poker client, as well as fixing bugs reported by their users. They have also acquired a very important poker authority, as buying the World Poker Tour Enterprises has certainly put them back on the radar and their aggressive business model will most likely make them the largest online poker room in the world in the years to come. PartyPoker also settled legal problems with the US Department of Justice which makes the industry think that they could be targeting the US market again in the near future once all the UIGEA issues are solved. PartyPoker used to be the largest online poker room in the world but they stopped taking action from US customers after the Safe Port Act was approved.

Some of the other recognitions were:

Operator of the year: Bwin

Innovation of the year: Gamesys for Jackpotjoy

Affiliate program of the year: Virgin Games

Mobile operator of the year: Probability for Ladylucks

Online marketing campaign of the year: PKR

Offline marketing campaign: Betclick

Socially responsible operator of the year: Betsson

Asian operator of the year: SBO Bet

Latin American operator of the year: Betboo

Bingo operator of the year: Cashcade for Foxy Bingo

European sports betting operator of the year: Unibet

UK sports betting operator of the year: Betfair

Casino operator of the year: 888

Poker operator of the year: PartyGaming

Financial betting operator of the year: Bet on Markets

Rising star of the year: Gaming Media Group

European live gaming operator of the year: Unibet

Asian live gaming operator of the year: VCBetAsia (Credit: Poker News Daily)
