Spill Group announces acquisition of Games.co.uk

Hilversum, 14 December 2007. Today, Spill Group announced that it has purchased the domain name Games.co.uk. This portal is a welcome addition to the portfolio, which includes amongst others, Juegos.com, Jeux.fr, GamesGames.com, Spelletjes.nl and Gioco.it.

Earlier this year, Spill Group also announced the intention to acquire other game companies, portals and game community concepts to accelerate its international growth. A couple of months ago, Spill Group managed to get hold of the Hispanic game traffic domain Juegos.com, as well as Zapjuegos.com. And in addition to previously owned Brazilian game portal Ojogos.com.br, Spill Group has also purchased Clickjogos.com to support the rapidly growing casual gaming community in Brazil.

With the acquisition of Games.co.uk, Spill Group offers a local casual gaming solution to players in the United Kingdom. Players can be found in a wide array of age groups, including children and (young) adults of which the majority is, surprisingly enough, female. The casual games offered include puzzle, sport, racing, shooting, action and strategy games which can be played alone or with multiple players.

Spill Group is one of the world’s leading casual game traffic generators with portals in Europe, Asia (a.o. China) and North and South America. The company has its headquarters in The Netherlands and operates over 30 game portals in 17 countries worldwide. Since 2005, Spill Group has become a top-5 player in the exploitation of casual game traffic for advertisers and consumers. Spill Group currently generates approximately 55 million unique visitors per month who, together, play more than 1,5 billion games in that month.
