This week the company added the major Austrian-listed online gambling group Bwin Interactive to its partnership books.

PokerRoom.com is a proprietary brand of the bwin Group, which has over 11 million registered customers (including 7 million “play money” customers) in over 20 core target markets. Cellectivity designed the game specifically for mobile use and will distribute it through its UK portals.
