LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Spin3, the leading wireless casino system provider powered by Microgaming, the world's largest online gaming software provider, was today awarded the Associate Membership of the GSM Association as an application provider for the GSM family of technology platforms. Spin3 earned the coveted membership of the Association in recognition of its accomplishments in the mobile gaming space.
Mobile gambling, though a nascent industry, offers huge potential for operators to grow Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) in a saturating global subscriber market. Juniper Research forecasts that stakes gambled on mobiles will reach US $16.6 billion globally by 2011, with Asia-Pacific overtaking Europe in 2008.
"Gaining acceptance to the GSM Association propels us into the premier league of the mobile industry, rubbing shoulders with the frontrunners in the GSM arena," said Matti Zinder, CEO, Spin3. "The GSM Association provides us the opportune platform to cross-leverage the wealth of experiences and learnings from members around the world. This membership is proof of Spin3's commitment to stay ahead of the market and technology by offering consumers real mobile gambling solutions."
In just two years, Spin3 has pioneered the mobile gambling arena by bringing popular casino games including unique progressive slots and brands like Lara Croft™ to wireless platforms. Recently, Spin3 launched SpinSupport™, an optional 24/7 multi-lingual advanced customer support option, which features a unique Call Back button that allows players to receive an immediate call back from a service representative within minutes.
Spin3's mobile casino games are on demonstration at 3GSM World Congress Barcelona (booth no. 7C34), from 12-15 February 2007.
