Betfair to Join Jadestone’s New Dice Network

STOCKHOLM, May 6 /PRNewswire/ — Jadestone Networks, the Nordic-based
owner and operator of the multiplayer gaming networks DiceArena and GamArena,
today announced that Betfair has agreed terms to become a distribution
partner.

Betfair will integrate to the DiceArena gaming network after the summer
where it will sit alongside existing Jadestone Networks’ distribution
partners such as bwin, Nordicbet, PAF and Gala Coral. The DiceArena network
has seen steady growth since its hard launch in Q1 this year and together
with the GamArena network has helped Jadestone to record a year on year
increase in unique cash player numbers of an impressive 116%.

“Betfair is very excited to reach agreement with Jadestone to offer their
DiceArena platform to our two million registered customers,” said Steve Ives,
Managing Director of Betfair Games. “Betfair prides itself on offering its
customers choice, value and control and by giving them access to the
innovative multiplayer table games offered through DiceArena this will
enhance the customer experience even further.”

“We are very pleased to announce Betfair as a future partner on the
expanding DiceArena network,” said Andrew Pegler, UK Director at Jadestone.
“We are proud of our existing partner portfolio and Betfair represents
another top tier operator keen to tap into our supply of next generation
multiplayer games.”

In partnering with Betfair Jadestone anticipates a significant increase
in the player liquidity levels of its DiceArena network that is already
benefitting from its strategy of creating robust iGaming networks and gaining
synergies from interconnecting their liquidity. Today across DiceArena and
GamArena Jadestone delivers multiplayer games to an online audience of well
over 2,000 simultaneous players and the company is set to announce more
distribution partners within iGaming that will boost these numbers further.
