Jackpot City Online Casino is announcing the launch of an innovative Facebook program called “Friends With Benefits” that offers all its Facebook group members access to private free-rolls and slots tournaments, as well as additional benefits for members who invite friends.

“We saw a gap, and a real opportunity to prove that players come first at JackpotCity Casino, it’s more of a reward than a promotion, but we do hope it drives market penetration.” said an online casino representative.

New group members will gain immediate access to “Friends with Benefits” events. People who want to get in on the action can get more information and join by visiting the online casino’s Facebook group. Once registered, players will get regular updates and other information about the available tournaments and new opportunities. JackpotCity online casino also has a strong following on Twitter and is likely to expand its benefits to this group in the very near future.

“There’s a real synergy between our products and social media. It’s a perfect fit. This won’t be our last push into the social realm, and we certainly aren’t planning to pull out any time soon. We give our players more. You don’t have to make a deposit to have fun at JackpotCity, you just have to join the group. It really is more entertainment bang for your buck. In fact, we thought about calling the tournaments ‘bang for bucks’, but thought it might be misconstrued.” added Jackpot City’s representative.

Bwin to Implement Social Networking Tool into Online Casino

Posted by: admin  //  Category: ACC, CA, Casino, Casino Games, Casinos, Gambling, Games, Las Vegas, News, Object, Online, Online Casino, Online Casinos, Online Poker, PLO, Poker, Skill Games, Sports Betting, Twitter, YES, book, business, bwin, facebook, friends, game, gaming, hot, information, ing, network, nfr, online casino games, online casino players, online gaming, players, progress, reviews, rooms, s, sin city, social-networking, spa, time, tour, tournament, wedoitallvegas, work, world

One of the top priorities at Bwin is to try and make gamblers feel as though they were in an actual Vegas casino. So with the addition of their latest tool, “Shoutbox”, players will be able to interact as though they were sitting next to each other at a real brick and mortar casino in Sin City.

As Twitter and Facebook become the most popular websites around, Bwin saw this as an opportunity to expand their online casino to include social networking tools such as their latest named Shoutbox.

Shoutbox is a social networking tool designed for online casino players to comment on bets, as well as challenge their Facebook and Twitter friends to online casino games at Bwin. This idea is seen as an investment in the future of their business in the online gaming world. Developers also see this as an opportunity to bring in players that are accustomed to playing only at brick and mortar casinos, such as in Vegas.

Bwin employs over 600 IT specialists with over half of those dedicated to software development only. This set-up allows for more time dedicated strictly to software development instead of maintaining the infrastructure.

Bwin plans to develop more social networking features for the online casino in the future such as instant messaging, buddy lists and online presence alerts. Bwin boasts over 20 Million players across 22 countries and has been in the gaming business for over 12 years.
