SkillOnNet and NetEntertainment Deal is Going Now Live

November 26, 2014 by

SkillOnNet NetEnt DealIn the online casino software world, there are essentially two approaches. One approach is to develop games in-house and then have operators license your games in exchange for a percentage of the revenue. The other approach is to build a platform that supports games from a wide range of software developers and license out that platform to operators instead. A new SkillOnNet NetEnt deal has Net Entertainment offering their games on the SkillOnNet platform, and this shows how both types of online casino software providers can work together in a major way.

Importance of the SkillOnNet NetEnt Deal

One of the reasons why this deal is so important is that it brings together a number of software developers who share a common weakness: the quantity of games they offer. While there’s no denying that Net Entertainment has some of the absolute best games available right now in the industry, the fact of the matter is that companies like Microgaming have five or six times as many games available, and this is a major weakness. Now with the NetEnt library available on the SkillOnNet platform along with games from other providers like WMS, NextGen Gaming and Amaya.

The Push Forward

Don’t think that the old guard including companies like Microgaming and Playtech are going to just stand by and watch this happen. Microgaming has their own Quickfire platform which seeks to do the exact same thing when it comes to bringing together smaller software developers to have their games provided to a wide range of players, and Playtech is expanding in other ways. The competition is heating up, and it’s going to take another few years before a clear winner emerges.

Until then, we’re just going to have to sit back and wait to see what happens. This deal will definitely be good for SkillOnNet since they’re adding lots of high-quality titles, and it’s obviously good for NetEnt since they’ll want to boost the reach of their casino offerings.
