$45 million for shoutbox? That’s insane!

bwinlogo-150x150 Bwin engineers are updating the software to integrate a first social media feature in the poker software. That will cost $45 million.

Can it be so bad to one of holy gaming trinity members, that executives decided to dive into online poker world? It seems it can.

Guess what platform they use? Not too hard to guess because it is a skin of Playtech (other rooms – TitanPoker, TonyGPoker, Bet365, Hollywood Poker and many others). When Xbox will start its own poker room following SEGA’s example? No idea. Anyway the famous brand and connectivity using gaming platform’s social application guarantee huge activity. Proved by friendship between Xbox and Facebook connect. If you have SEGA Pass, please try their poker room as well. It is 3rd biggest real money poker operator in the World.
