Face Up Entertainment Aims to Bring Its Legal Online Gaming Platform to Facebook
February 08 2013 - 9:55AM
Face Up Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTCBB:FUEG), a Reality Gaming
Social Network company, today announced that it has begun Closed
Beta testing of its Facebook integrated gaming software.
Since announcing the release of Facebook Alpha in the end of Q3
of 2012, Face Up Entertainment Group has been hard at work,
customizing their already popular user interface to be seamlessly
integrated into the Facebook platform.
"Through the diligent efforts of our analysts, developers, and
quality assurance teams, we are ready to move into the Beta portion
of testing and release. This version will allow us to bring on key
users to help us test the product on Facebook. The Beta process
also provides us with valuable feedback," sated Mr. Felix Elinson,
the Company's CEO. "We anticipate this phase of testing and
refinement to run for a period of between 60 and 90 days at which
point we hope to move into a soft launch period," added Mr.
Elinson. "The ultimate launch of our offerings on Facebook may
require approval which we will seek at the appropriate time."
The Company's ultimate goal is for the 1 billion Facebook users
around the world to be able to play our legal poker offering, and
many other tournament style games on the drawing board, online,
through their Facebook Page.
According to Forbes
(http://www.forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2012/12/06/can-online-poker-save-zynga-417b-global-gambling-market-throws-pincus-a-risky-lifeline/):
"The potential for online poker and other casino games in the U.S.
is enormous. The global gambling industry's total gross win (a
measure of how much money gambling companies make, and their
customers lose) is expected to grow 5.6% to $417 billion this year,
according to intelligence firm H2 Gambling Capital. 8.1%, or $33.8
billion, will come through interactive, or online, channels, and
that is expected to grow to just under 10% by 2015. If the leading
12 U.S. states were to introduce permissive regulation, their share
of the market, currently at 8%, could rise to 28% in five years,
unlocking incredible value, H2 noted."
The Company's game proprietary platform (www.FaceUpGaming.com)
is being used in creating a vast global gaming
network consisting of games from every region of the globe,
supporting native languages as well as cross language
functionality. Logical additions to the platform include global
staples in gaming such as Backgammon, Poker, Chess and
Checkers and many others. Face Up Gaming is a legal
non-wagering online gaming
platform (www.FaceUpGaming.com).
Face Up Entertainment Group, Inc is committed to responsible
game-play and is not a gambling site. "Our goal is to
maintain the thrill of online games while keeping it safe
for everyone. Our social networking functionality
provides the user base with the ability to grow their circle of
friends beyond those they physically reach day to day. Our users
sit down to play a game and more often than not leave making a
connection with a stranger which is then maintained via our social
network functionalities," stated Mr. Elinson.
