New Sportsbetting Site

9/2/09 - The already competitive UK and French online sportsbetting, casino and poker sector sees a new arrival this month in the form of ChanceRoom, a GTech G2-powered Internet gambling operation that has been launched in French and English language versions.

ChanceRoom is licensed in Malta and operated by LGH Ltd. The site offers a full suite of casino games, a poker room that’s part of the International Poker Network - arguably Europe’s largest independent - and a full range of sports betting options including horse racing and football, with customer service teams fluent in both languages.

“We’ve come up with some great ways to reward our best players,” said John Benjamin of ChanceRoom.com this week. “Players are automatically enrolled in our VIP Club which gives cash bonuses based on reward points earned by wagering and depositing. And, every month, we‘ll award bonus cash to the winners of our Points Race – the top point-scorers in each casino game that month."

“Both [French and English] sites will offer the same wide selection of games and betting options,” said Benjamin. “But the French site will likely focus more on French horse racing while the British site will emphasise football wagers more.”

Louis Harang, a director of LGH Ltd. which owns and operates ChanceRoom.com said: “We’ve assembled a management team with many years experience in igaming, and designed unique incentives for regular players to make sure our players enjoy the best experience possible.”

"They’ve got a very good selection from our games portfolio, including our most popular big progressive jackpot games like Aladdin’s Lamp and Fortunes of Egypt, and we’ll have lots of new games for them in coming months,” said Mery Blomqvist at GTECH G2. “I’m sure ChanceRoom players will appreciate the convenience of having one wallet for the sportsbook, casino and poker room.”
