Gamebookers consolidates e-gaming status

Gamebookers is the second most powerful online bookmaking firm in the world with active Irish operations according to the August edition of eGamingReview, the top online betting industry periodical.

The magazine’s “Power 25” list includes the companies that exercise “the most influence on the industry, who others listen to, who others follow and who will shape the future”.

Gamebookers appears at number 22 in the list of the world’s most influential e-gaming firms, ahead of Paddy Power, Ireland’s largest traditional bookmaker.

From Gamebookers’ Sligo office, Irish spokesman Eddie Lee enthused: “That gamebookers commands such worldwide respect within the gaming industry undoubtedly stands us in good stead in our Irish campaign.

"We just launched our Irish website (www.gamebookers.ie) in April and it is already by far the most popular “dot ie” sports-betting website.

"Our unique style, our range of innovative features and entertaining PR machine has combined in creating an ever-increasing clientele for both our online and our 1800 WINBET (telebetting) service.

"I have no doubt gamebookers will continue making great waves in the ferociously competitive Irish betting market – without opening a single retail outlet, keeping our cost structure low and subsequently our odds always among the best available - singularly the most important requirement to attracting Irish punters.”
