Boss Media and Svenska Spel team up

31.05.2005

Swedish online gaming companies Boss Media and Svenska Spel have formalised their strategic partnership after several years of collaboration on a number of digital gaming projects.

The announcement notes that interest for digital games has increased dramatically, and the two companies have consequently decided to leverage the experience that they have acquired. Boss Media has been responsible for technical and platform development and Svenska Spel has developed game concepts and handled daily operational matters.

Svenska Spel is selling its expertise and Boss Media's technical platform to members of the World Lottery Association with a focus on Europe. Currently the WLA has about 140 members, of which there are some 60 in Europe that are potential customers.

"We see this as a significant opportunity to strengthen the regulated gaming market," said Jan Stocklassa, manager of international business matters at Svenska Spel. "If more companies within the WLA sphere increase their level of technical competence and improve their product offering, they will have significantly better ability to withstand competition from Internet companies and other competitors."
