[edit] Boss Media History

Boss Media, was founded in 1996,^[2] its initial corporate aim was merely to operate Gold Club Casino, which it launched in 1997.^[3] Soon after the online casino was launched, the company received requests from investors and companies interested in purchasing Boss Media's casino software. Boss Media's main focus thereby transferred to the creation of complete Internet casino solutions for clients.

Boss Media's corporate focus has since shifted to the creation of customised e-gaming systems for several gaming corporations. Boss Media's solutions are tailored to the unique needs of each client and based on innovative casino, poker, bingo and lottery applications for multiple digital distribution channels. Boss Media sold its own Internet casino in February 2004 to focus entirely on the e-gaming solutions it develops for clients. Boss Media now provides e-gaming solutions for online casino operators including bwin and Sportingbet.^[4]
