One of the fastest growing sectors of the online gaming industry is skill gaming. And two of the industry's largest online skill gaming providers, FUN Technologies and King.com have recently teamed up to nurture this growth by creating the first trade association of its kind. Called the Interactive Skill Games Association (ISGA), the partnership between FUN and King aims to expand and include other skill gaming companies devoted to maintaining standards of the highest integrity.

The ISGA is best likened to the recently merged Interactive Gaming, Gambling and Betting Association with the Association of Remote Gambling Operators to form the Remote Gambling Association, which represents the world's largest body of online gambling entities committed to fostering a single voice in the areas of regulation and legislation. Likewise the ISGA seeks to fund research projects in order to enlighten members and promote the assets of online skill gaming to gaming regulators and lawmakers around the world.

London Stock Exchange listed, FUN Technologies, which operates the popular online skill gaming site, Skilljam.com (now merged into WorldWinner.com), is one of the biggest, if not the biggest players in the skill gaming sector, having its fingers in mobile gaming and interactive television in addition to standard cpu online gaming.It should not be overtly difficult for FUN Technologies to get other skill gaming companies involved. It would certainly be a tremendous step in the right direction if other big sites like GameAccount would see fit to join the ISGA.
