2 October 2009
Fun88 launches Isle of Man-based gaming
operations
Fun88.com, an Asian-facing online gaming and
entertainment company, has gone live with its gaming
operation licensed on the Isle of Man.
The
company is one of the growing number of Asian gaming
companies that have chosen the Isle of Man as a
licensing jurisdiction, where the company and its
management must satisfy stringent online gaming
standards and player protection rules. Other IOM
licensees include international companies such as
Pokerstars, Paddy Power and Betinternet.
Fun88 is
owned by Welton Holdings Limited, and holds both IOM and
First Cagayan (Philippines) licensing. The site offers
sports betting and both live and web-based online casino
gambling through Entertasia for live gambling streamed
from the Oriental Palace Casino, and Microgaming for
more conventional online gaming.
English, Thai
and Chinese versions of the site are available.
Nathan Walker, operations manager of Fun88, said: "We
are proud and delighted to be awarded the Isle of Man
gaming licence and look forward to providing
state-of-the-art products and personalised customer
service to our valued members"
The company's
spokesman for Asia, Khai Sze Pang said: "We applied for
the prestigious IOM license because it represents the
highest standards of jurisdictional control in the
gaming industry. We were delighted to receive approval
and are keen to grow our business with a genuinely
innovative gambling offering."
Besides offering
sports betting with up to 4 000 in-running games every
month, Fun88 also offers a full suite of casino games.
Fun88 also provides an entertainment section where its
famous monthly Fun88 Angels has become a site trademark.
Other features include a soccer prediction column, a
soccer betting classroom and a casino school.
Garth Kimber, Head of e-Gaming development of the Isle
of Man Government, said: "I am delighted that Fun88.com
have chosen the Isle of Man I look forward to seeing the
company flourish and grow on the Island. They are
further proof that quality gaming companies are finding
that the Isle of Man is succeeding in creating the right
environment to do business from."
