Austrian Lotteries and Casinos Choose Boss Media

The Austrian Lotteries and Casinos Austria are going to merge together to form a new online poker site called Win2Day. The two companies have chosen Boss Media to provide the network's software. Boss Media is considered a leading software developer in the online gaming industry.

The new site is scheduled to go live at some point during the first quarter. The site will be using a Boss platform solution in partnership with Svenska Spel. The Svenska Spel Company will provide the customer support, responsible gaming, fraud and collusion. The site has been created as a means to reduce the risk of gambling problems. The site will limit bets to $1,000 a week per player.

The CEO of Boss Media, Michael Hallen, has said they are proud to have the second government controlled poker network operating with the Boss Media solution. He also stated that the company is confident that more government controlled gaming operators will be seeking their assistance in the upcoming years.

"Poker is still booming in Austria, and we had a 300 percent increase in poker playing guests from our offline poker games in 2007", said Karl Stoss, General Director for Casinos Austria. "We hope to capture a substantial part of the Austrian online poker market with our responsible approach just as our colleagues at SvenskaSpel.se did when they launched with Boss Media in 2006.'
