Responsible for hugely successful casino titles such as EUcasino, MegaCasino, CasinoRedKings and recently launched PlayMillion Casino the SkillOnNet Licence covers all Brands sold and marketed by sister affiliate company EGO which also brings RedKings Poker and sports betting Brand BetRedKings into the mix.
Commented SkillOnNet Marketing Director Michael Golembo, “we are delighted with the decision and are very proud to be one of the first Companies to be awarded a Danish Licence. We have worked hard the past few months to build a plan, a strategy and a budget in order to officially present our Brands to the Danish people and we are going to do it well and with a lot of style”.
EUcasino’s reputation as the best new Online Casino over the past 2 years ensures it will be the first Brand released under Licence by affiliate company EGO in January. Already popular in Denmark this flagship SkillOnNet Casino will chart the way for the release of the other Brands which will follow over the first and second quarters of 2012.
Added Golembo, “With Five Brands to consider we decided that EUcasino will go first because of its popularity in Denmark. It’s a fantastic product and with new games being released weekly it is always fresh and exciting. What will be different is the way we market it now being allowed to do things under regulation that we couldn’t do before. This marks a new era for SkillOnNet and EGO and we will hit the ground running with EUcasino.com“.

Unibet Group plc past week announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire 100 per cent of the shares of French company Solfive SAS, owner of SPS Betting France SAS. Under the trademarks EurosportBet and EurosportPoker, licensed by the company Eurosport, Solfive operates a range of gambling and betting products such as sport betting, live betting, horse racing betting, and poker through its web sites www.eurosportbet.fr and www.eurosportpoker.fr.
The initial acquisition price is specified as EUR 5.625 million (GBP 4.8 million), plus net cash adjustment of EUR 1.5 million (GBP 1.3 million). The components of the initial acquisition price are payable as cash up front at day of closing. Unibet will also provide funds to Solfive at closing to enable the company to settle a fixed debt of EUR 2.375 million (GBP 2.0 million). Depending on trading results in the first six months following execution an earn-out may be payable.
The transaction is subject to approval by the French regulator ARJEL and is expected to complete around the end of 2011.
Unibet intends to rebrand the platform from Eurosportbet.fr to Unibet.fr following a short transition and plans to build on the legacy strength of the Unibet brand and historic customer base. The transaction will increase re-regulated revenues for Unibet, but under the current terms and conditions of the French licensing system, the transaction is not expected to have a significant impact on profitability for 2012.
The Solfive Group currently employs 25 people mainly within CRM, trading, IT and marketing.
“This strategic acquisition gives Unibet immediate access to the French market with a technical platform that is already licensed offering sports betting, poker and horse racing. We will rebrand the business quickly to Unibet.fr. The combination of Unibet’s strong brand, the efforts already made to build a significant market share for EurosportBet, and the difficult decisions taken by management to control costs give the best opportunity to be successful in a very difficult market,” says Henrik Tjärnström, CEO Unibet.
“Even though we recognise that it will be difficult to generate profits in the short term under the current terms and conditions, we consider that over the medium term France will develop a more sustainable model that will better achieve the goals of player protection, fair competition and reasonable taxation.
With this acquisition Unibet can re-enter the French market at a limited cost to take advantage of the longer-term opportunities”, Henrik Tjärnström continues.
“The extremely challenging terms and conditions for the French market make it very difficult for an independent operator to develop their business. We are delighted therefore to have this opportunity to work with Unibet, who have the experience, resources and brand legacy in France to succeed in this market in the long term. We are proud of the achievements of the EurosportBet team in establishing a strong market share and believe that this transaction provides the best platform for the long term success of the business and therefore the best opportunities for the excellent team that we have built,” says Olivier Ou Ramdane, CEO Solfive Group.

– Best Gaming Site for the third time since 2008
Swedish-founded online casino Mr Green is on the list of Sweden’s 100 Best Internet Sites for the fourth consecutive year. For the third time since launch, Mr Green is also the winner of the category Best Gaming Site.
“To once again have won this distinguished price is a recognition of our devotion for design, user interface and transparency. This is extra encouraging since we have launched a brand new version of the site during 2011,” said Mikael Pawlo, CEO of Mr Green.
Mr Green was awarded in a ceremony held by the Swedish magazine Internetworld, in Stockholm, Sweden, tonight. Internetworld has annually rated the 100 best Swedish sites since 1997.
“We are trying to understand the gaming processes in other types of gaming than ours. We are inspired by sites like Zynga, Dice and foursquare and are trying to import the best features to our niche of the gaming business,” said Mikael Pawlo, CEO of Mr Green.
“In Mr Green we compare a web site to a shark. It moves and develops or the shark dies,” said Mikael Pawlo.
Mr Green is the next generation of online casino operators. Mr Green was voted the best online gambling web site by magazine Internetworld in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Mr Green was added to the EGR Power50 list, of the most influential and important gaming companies in the world, on seat 32 in 2011. It has customers in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Mr Green is the only casino operator in the market offering a seamless solution of four different casino vendors: Nyx Interactive, IGT (Wagerworks), Net Entertainment and Betsoft Gaming. The inhouse developed seamless solutions makes it possible for players to change vendors without exchanging chips or coins.
Mr Green’s founders have broad experience in the casino segment. Mr Green has developed the next generation of casino using the latest technology and the best games. This ensures that players are offered a superior gaming experience in a safe and regulated environment.
With Mr Green, players can set their own limits as to how large a risk they want to take. Mr Green call it Green Gaming. In other words, even before they start to play, players can set limits for how much they can play on a weekly basis.
Mr Green has chosen a casino product with a completely new ‘look and feel’ and has been inspired, among other things, by the iPhone’s navigation and has also added clear information on responsible gaming.
