The Bonnier Group's Bonnier Entertainment business area has selected Boss Media as supplier for its new gaming activity. Bonnier is to launch www.bingolotto.se through a cooperative agreement with the Folkspel gaming company, which is owned by Swedish sports clubs and associations and whose activities include TV4's BingoLotto gaming program,. With this investment, the Bonnier Group is taking its first step into the market for gaming that involves money.
"We are active in the entertainment industry and an increasing portion of households' entertainment budget is being spent on various forms of gaming. This makes it a natural step for us to become involved in this industry. An added benefit of our cooperation with Folkspel is that it gives us the possibility to support Swedish sports clubs and associations," says Helena Forsell, Project Manager for BingoLotto.se.
Under the terms of the contract, Boss Media will supply a well-tested system for bingo gaming on the Internet, with Bonnier and Folkspel also gaining the possibility to expand into other gaming products and distribution channels over time. As a result of the contract, Bonnier will outsource its customer service for gaming to Boss Media.
"Proximity and stability were our criteria when we selected Boss Media. We now have access to a tested gaming system and proximity to product development. If everything proceeds according to plan, we will have, in cooperation with Folkspel, a considerable market share for digitally distributed gaming within a couple of years. The key is to take the right game to market using the right channel. With regard to marketing of gaming products, we have sufficient channels for this within the Group," says Helena Forsell.
"Boss Media's extensive experience of digital gaming solutions can be considered a guarantee of quality," says Leif Flatow, President of Folkspel. "We are full of confidence regarding the launch of BingoLotto on the Net - and, naturally, a well-functioning system is an important requirement for success."
Bingo products are a focus area for Boss Media, which previously was best known for its casino and poker products. In the digital gaming world, bingo is foreseen as the gaming product that will attract the most new players as a result of its softer gaming form, with greater focus on entertainment than big prizes.
"Bingo has the potential to be the next mass-market product in the digital gaming market. While casino gaming attracts men, bingo succeeds in attracting women," says Peter Bertilsson, President of Boss Media.

Boss Media has today signed up Virgin Poker, part of the Virgin Games Group, to its platform, ending a long search by Virgin to find the ideal partner for the relaunch of its Poker game.
"Boss has everything we were looking for in terms of playing experience, site stability and, most importantly of all, liquidity. The combination of their technical expertise and the Virgin Brand is going to create a major new challenger in the online Poker market place, and we are really looking forward to getting behind it," says Simon Burridge, Chairman of Virgin Games.
A condition of the Agreement is that Boss will imminently be relocating to Malta, which will satisfy Virgin's requirement to be regulated in a white list jurisdiction.
Virgin Poker believes that, despite the rapid growth of online Poker over the last few years, there is still a large untapped audience for Poker as it continues to become a natural entertainment choice alongside a game of football or a night out at the cinema.
In addition to the many distribution channels available throughout the Virgin Group and the ability to use collateral from sister Virgin companies, Virgin will be able to offer its players the chance to earn Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points for every hand they play. This has already proved a significant retention tool on Virgin's Casino site.
"Virgin has the perfect brand and position for marketing digital services and I think the partnership between Boss Medias fast growing poker network and the Virgin Games Group is a perfect match," says Peter Bertilsson, CEO of Boss Media.
