WORLD WINNER AND POPCAP GET IT TOGETHER

7 December 2007

Casual gaming co-branded site planned


Casual games published PopCap.com and Fun Technologies skill games subsidiary WorldWinner have formed an alliance whereby WW will become the exclusive North American provider of cash competitions via a new co-branded area on the PopCap website.

WorldWinner will also develop and host cash competition versions of additional PopCap titles slated for commercial release in 2008.

"Our cash competition versions of PopCap's casual games, including Bejeweled 2, Chuzzle, Dynomite! and Big Money, consistently rank among the most popular with WorldWinner players," said Peter Blacklow, president of WorldWinner. "By further developing our relationship with PopCap, we are able to expand our list of popular game titles and deliver new ways for PopCap and WorldWinner players to enjoy their favorite games for cash and prizes."

"By incorporating a different aspect of competition, WorldWinner creates additional excitement and community elements that appeal to many players of our casual games," said John Vechey, PopCap co-founder and director of online operations. "PopCap customers who have become experts playing the online or downloadable versions of our games can now prove their skills by competing against thousands of players around the world for cash and prizes, as well as bragging rights."

Through its new partnership with WW, PopCap fans have access to the network of millions of players competing on the WorldWinner platform, including those from WorldWinner's largest partner sites, such as AOL Games, GSN, MSN Games and Pogo.com.
