Amaya subsidiary Ongame acquire new partner

MONTREAL, Canada – December 18, 2012 – Amaya Gaming Group Inc. (“Amaya” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: AYA), an entertainment solutions provider for the regulated gaming industry, announced today that Redbet Gaming Ltd (“Redbet”) has chosen Amaya’s wholly owned subsidiary Ongame Network Ltd. (“Ongame”) for a two-year licensing agreement to power its company-wide poker business. The multi-site deal includes popular brands such as Redbet.com, Whitebet.com and Heypoker.com.

“When leaving the IGT poker network we did a thorough investigation of all B2B poker providers,” said Adam Vella, Head of Poker at Redbet Gaming Ltd. “Selecting Ongame was an easy choice. Ongame combines excellent network management with a rock solid technical platform. Today, Ongame now provides poker to all of our major sites.”

“We’re pleased to add Redbet to our growing family of clients and look forward to exceeding their expectations in us as a technology partner,” said Darcy Krogh, VP of Business Development at Amaya. “We continue to execute on Amaya’s plan for Ongame, which is to leverage its scalable software architecture and infrastructure to add new partners to Ongame’s network, including in new jurisdictions. With Amaya’s regulatory experience and proven platforms in both poker and casino, we are an increasingly viable option for those looking for new partnerships online.”

Bulgaria expected to halve gambling tax rate, Robin Harrison EGR Magazine | Poker & eGaming News | Scoop.it

Reports from Bulgaria suggest that the country’s ruling Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (CEDB) party is to cut the proposed rate of tax on egaming operators by half.

 

A member of the country’s Parliamentary Budget and Finance Committee told radio station Bulgaria on Air that a 15% gross profit tax (GPT) had been seen as too restrictive, and would dissuade private operators from entering the market: “… [N]o foreign operator would come to Bulgaria, because the taxation would be very high. In practice the tax in Bulgaria is twice bigger that in France or Malta.”
