Net Entertainment’s games available for real money play on Facebook through social gambling partnership with Bonza Gaming
Net Entertainment has signed a license agreement with Bonza Gaming, which is a
joint venture between social gaming publisher Plumbee and online gaming
operator Sportingbet. Under the terms of the agreement Net Entertainment will
deliver a wide range of slots and casino games to Bonza Gaming, who in turn
will offer real money gaming to Facebook users through their first app, Bonza
Slots.
Facebook is today by far the largest social network in the world, approaching
one billion users. During summer 2012, Facebook announced it would expand its
social gaming to real money gaming, initially limited to UK-based Facebook
users.
“Net Entertainment is one of the first suppliers of online casino games to
enter real money gaming on Facebook and I am very pleased Net Entertainment is
partnering with Bonza Gaming as their casino platform provider of choice. Net
Entertainment’s gaming portfolio contains several of the world’s most popular
games on the traditional online casino market and I am positive that the users
on Facebook will be provided with a great experience. Real money gaming over
Facebook is a new exciting distribution channel for Net Entertainment and is
closely linked to the Company’s existing core business. Being selected as Bonza
Gaming’s main casino games supplier is yet another proof of the confidence and
trust that is recognized through Net Entertainment’s operational and technical
leadership”, says Per Eriksson, President and CEO at Net Entertainment.
“We are delighted to have partnered with Net Entertainment who after a
thorough supplier selection process was the clear winner, and the supplier
which could provide our venture with Facebook the best long term strategic
value and stability. We are now focused on delivering a successful commercial
launch, and with our combined knowledge and experience, I am very positive and
excited about this long term partnership”, says Rick Brownlow, CEO at Bonza
Gaming.
