Multinational Corporations making deals with online casinos
|
The online casino industry is booming, and
different worldwide businesses have decided to team up with online
casinos to crate new revenues and better competitive advantages in their
respective markets. In recent months, online casinos have been involved
in negotiations with software developers, multinational corporations and
even major soccer teams in co-sponsorship and other marketing and
advertising and operations deals. In April, for example, a few online
casinos teamed up with Italian and British soccer giants AC Milan and
Aston Villa, and the online casinos are now the sponsors of those club’s
jerseys.
Online casinos are profitable and now, even Playboy, has taken notice.
What does the famous adult magazine have to do with online casinos?
Well, recently, a leading software developer to the global online
casinos market announced an exclusive three year licensing contract to
launch a new online casinos site featuring Playboy, one of the world’s
most recognizable entertainment and lifestyle brands. The online casinos
and Playboy agreement was reported in a press release this week and
paves the way for Playboy branded online casinos powered by the game
developer’s award winning software. The developer is the leader in
providing services and new technologies to the top of the line online
casinos and the online casinos industry in general. The deal also
includes marketing support, e-cash management, and a host of other
customer support services commonly seen at online casinos. According to
the release, “The site will receive prominent placement in Playboy's
international printed, online and media outlets. The agreement also
enables unique, 'money can't buy' promotions for players, including
Playboy merchandise, invitations to Playboy-hosted events and trips to
the legendary Playboy mansion. Any online poker site launched under the
Playboy name during the term of the contract will also make exclusive
use of CryptoLogic software. “With Playboy, CryptoLogic adds one of the
most famous names in entertainment to its elite list of blue-chip
Internet gaming brands,” said Lewis Rose, the software developer’s
President and CEO. “It's a winning combination that met our strict
criteria: a recognized brand, established user base, and global
marketing strength.”
