Simulated Gaming™
Simulated Gaming™ is the innovative Internet gaming service designed by GameAccount Network specifically for land-based US casinos to launch in advance of prospective real-money internet gaming regulation.

Launched in the US by GameAccount Network in January 2014, Simulated Gaming™ has been proven to monetize Internet traffic to existing websites operated by land-based US casinos with more than 10% of players spending on average 3x more than players of Social Casino applications operated on Facebook.com. Simulated Gaming™ enables land-based US casinos to tap into the Social Casino market worth an estimated $1bn per annum in the United States in 2013, increases property visitation among existing patrons and drives acquisition of new patrons.
