Ireland – GameAccount Network awarded US patent

By Phil - 18 September 2014

GameAccount Network has been awarded a patent by the US Patent Office for its iBridge Framework.

The iBridge Framework enables the complete integration of an Internet Gaming System with a land-based casino’s rewards points program.

This patent strengthens GameAccount’s position in the US market by granting unique intellectual property rights over the mechanisms by which an Internet gaming experience is converged with land-based casino gaming. The iBridge Framework module extension for the GameSTACK Internet Gaming System now offers a range of rewards points’ incentives capable of being awarded to patrons as an integral part of the Internet gaming experience.

The iBridge Framework delivers a converged online-to-offline experience proven to encourage online patrons to increase visitation to the conjoined casino property. More than 50m US casino patrons are estimated to hold one or more reward cards used to accumulate rewards points redeemed inside casino properties.
