NET ENTERTAINMENT LAUNCH IMMINENT FOR PAF ONLINE
CASINO

Download and browser-based versions of
CasinoModule in four year deal
A four year agreement announced by online gambling
software provider NetEntertainment and Ålands
Penningautomatförening (Paf) of Finland's
semi-autonomous islands (see previous InfoPowa reports)
is close to fruition with the imminent launch of a
download and browser-based online casino.
Originally announced in March of this year, the
agreement will enable Paf to further tap into the Nordic
market around the Baltic Sea, where it is one of the
largest operators and will also be a part of Paf’s
internationalisation. Under its terms, Net Entertainment
will provide Paf with both its download and browser
based version of CasinoModule. A full suite of casino
games coupled with an administration tool will allow Paf
to effectively manage and maximise the potential of its
online casino operations.
“The countries around
the Baltic Sea are a large and important market for
online gaming yet controlled by a handful of operators
where Paf is one of the largest” said NetEnt CEO Johan
Öhman, at the time.
Founded in 1967, Paf is a
gaming entertainment operator with an Åland government
granted gaming license that develops and operates gaming
both online and offline in selected markets. Paf’s
online operation was launched in 1999 and has today well
over 500 000 registered players. In 2007, Paf's online
operation generated a gross gaming yield of Euro 66
million.
“We have made an important and strategic
decision in choosing Net Entertainment as partner for
our online casino operation in order to succeed with our
internationalisation ambition," said Lars Porko, CEO at
Paf.
It is not yet known how the Paf operation
will square with a national Finnish debate considering a
ban on Internet gambling now shaping up.
