News in brief: Amuso site launch; Gaming VC sues GTech; Webis; Paf; Sentrigo; 888... Amuso’s trivia gaming network with embedded bingo client, side games and social networking capabilities, has gone live. The site, with gaming elements powered by Bonnier Gaming’s Cashball operating arm and Nyx Interactive, launches around Amuso’s exclusive version of the BBC’s globally successful gameshow The Weakest Link. Amuso chief executive Barak Rabinowitz (pictured) told EGRMagazine.com: “If you are going to try and break the UK bingo market, you either need multi-million pound budgets or exclusive content for marketing differentiation, and the latter is what we’re bringing to the table. The real potential is to use these big brands to reach a much broader audience and, ultimately, get CPAs down from industry standard £100 to £50, £40 or £30.” The launch is being supported with a suite of affiliate mini-games which can be rolled out across any publisher and an initial 50% revenue share offer to affiliates.
