Players may recognize some businesses in the SportingBet family, such as Super Vegas Casino, Sports.com, Sportsbook.com and the obvious one's: SportBetting.com and SportBetting USA.  Truly one of the largest and most comprehensive gambling companies in operation today, SportingBet has over 2.5 million patrons spanning some 200 countries.  The new skill gaming solutions, which FUN Technologies is leaving in the hands of its subsidiary company - SkillJam Technologies - are already being developed and customized for SportingBet's online platform. Under the multi-year agreement, SkillJam will essentially operate and maintain the skill gaming platform, which will include hosting and e-commerce processing.

SkillJam is now becoming the go-to company for online skill gaming solutions.  Already this year the firm has signed fifteen different clients, including eBay, Virgin Games and MSN.  CEO, Lorne Abony, stated the company is very honored to be working with SportingBet, and that this contract marks another big step in the company's rise to become the top skill gaming solutions provider on the Web.
