Skill gaming provider GameAccount has revealed that over £100m has been staked in the last quarter, a 75 per cent increase on the previous three-month period.

GameAccount, the skill gaming partner to many of the industry’s leading bookmakers including William Hill and Gala Coral, has reported astonishing growth in recent months, bucking the trend of gloomy forecasts and failing companies. With total stakes of just £10.5m in 2007, the results confirm the company to be one of the fastest growing online gaming firms in the UK.

Active user numbers have also risen dramatically, up 38 per cent on the previous quarter, with over 15,000 players logging onto GameAccount websites in the last week alone.

The promising results pre-empt a significant move into European territories for GameAccount, following an agreement last week with Gaming VC, owner of The Casino Club, the dominant online casino in German-speaking markets, and an earlier deal to provide skill games for Eurobet Italia.
