Virgin Games is to implement a multimedia contact centre solution, as part of its strategy to provide a streamlined customer experience.
The solution, which utilises the latest IP and contact centre technology from NEC Philips, will bring together the various customer touch points throughout Virgin Games to ensure all customer enquiries are handled efficiently and by the most appropriate person.
The company, which has been established for almost five years, competes in the increasingly popular and yet competitive online gaming market, offering customers the choice of three different gaming areas including poker, bingo and casino. The customer experience is critical in such online business models and relies on cohesive and intelligent customer management processes.
In the past, the company has utilised outsourced services to support its activities but has encountered difficulties in delivering a streamlined customer experience. This latest project will bring all the facilities relating to the customer touch points in-house, resulting in greater control, improved efficiency and enhanced customer communications.
The solution utilises the latest multimedia contact centre technology to blend voice, email and web-chat communications into a single environment. In addition, the solution is fully integrated with the customer CRM system, whereby agents are able to see and update the customer records, enabling them to provide a better and more informed service. The solution is underpinned by a centralised IP solution with built-in disaster recovery features to support the company’s 24/7 operations.
Initially the solution will be rolled out to 80 agents across the two Virgin Games sites (based in London and Guernsey) but Operations Manager, Christina Thakor-Rankin, is confident the software has the potential to expand with the company. As she explains, “We began our research at the end of 2007 and must have looked at the best part of a dozen systems before we came across the NEC Philips solution. NEC Philips not only understood our current needs but also what we would need in the future, such as the facility to enable home-working which is something we may need to consider in the future to support our 24/7 activities. The solution not only provides us with more control and management information today, but has huge potential for future developments. Indeed with all the potential the solution provides I can see it supporting our company for at least the next ten years.”
The solution underwent a rigorous assessment process to ensure it met the current and possible future business requirements. “As this is the first time Virgin Games has brought everything in-house, we did not want to be worrying about whether the software would work”, explains Thakor-Rankin, “but the team at NEC Philips have come up with a solution to all we have thrown at them. The whole system has been a worthwhile investment and we look forward to developing our relationship with them.”

Dedicated WPT Channel Gives MySpace Users the First Fully-Integrated Destination for Poker Games and Content
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MySpace, the world’s premier social network, and World Poker Tour ® (WPT), the preeminent poker sports, entertainment and gaming league, have joined forces to create the first fully integrated poker destination with games and content for MySpace members.
The MySpace WPT community (www.myspace.com/ClubWPT) delivers a unique poker experience with must-see content for poker die-hards and casual fans alike, including expert tips and tricks, player profiles, video clips, tournament news, and behind-the-scenes videos from the World Poker Tour and new ClubWPT.com TV series. The community provides a place for poker fans to meet and interact with their favorite WPT superstars and discover new WPT content.
The MySpace WPT hub also offers a free multi-player poker game developed by Oberon, MySpace’s online game partner and a leading innovator in casual gaming. The free poker game allows MySpace members to compete against each other online in real time, putting their poker skills to the test in live or private tournaments. MySpace WPT community members can also experience channel sponsor, ClubWPT.com, which is WPT’s innovative online subscription and sweepstakes-based poker offering. For $19.95 per month, ClubWPT.com members receive VIP perks and the chance to play and win over $100,000 in cash and prizes each month, like seats into WPT main events and the ClubWPT.com TV series.
“MySpace is bringing a new dimension of entertainment to users with this integrated WPT poker hub and providing an easy and fun way for users to play poker with friends on MySpace,” said Angela Courtin, senior vice president of marketing, entertainment and content for MySpace. “MySpace has a balance of a social community base and a global portal platform that allows brands like WPT to create great online entertainment experiences for our users. As the Web becomes increasingly more social, MySpace is at the forefront of innovation and online engagement.”
“Poker and social networking have separately reached and engaged people around the world in ways like nothing we’ve seen before,” said Steve Lipscomb, WPT Founder, President and CEO. “As poker continues to see major growth across the globe, this partnership meets the demand for a poker experience that appeals to enthusiasts of all levels by connecting consumers in one unique, fully-integrated gaming and entertainment environment.”

Virgin Games appoints Silverpop to develop email CRM, by Nikki Sandison, Brand Republic - 7th September 2007
LONDON - Virgin Games has appointed email marketing firm Silverpop to develop an email CRM programme for customers of its online gaming site, www.virgingames.com.
Silverpop will work with Virgin Games' CRM team to tailor email content to customer preferences gathered from profiles and activity on its poker, casino, bingo and bets games.
The programme will include time-triggered emails, along with updates on Virgin Games' loyalty points scheme - V Points - designed to build online relationships and increase customer retention.
Silverpop was appointed following a six-way pitch, adding to its recent account wins including Metro International, STA and UCAS.
Ross Sleight, strategy director at Virgin Games, said: "With cost per acquisition relatively high in the online gaming market, we need to make sure new visitors turn into long-term members.
"Silverpop's appointment will enable us to do this through sophisticated profile and activity- triggered interaction with customers via email."
Silverpop provides online relationship marketing support to companies including Fossil, Littlewoods, Shop Direct, British Sky Broadcasting and Weather.com.
Greg Tingle comment...
I deal with a number of companies in the online gaming, online casino and casino industry, and I can honestly state that if all the online casino type companies were are profession, organised, friendly and honest as the folks at Virgin Games, the industry would be a much better place. Virgin Games staff and management are accountable and transparent. I've also been impressed by PKR and JackPotCity. InterCasino and North Sydney's NextGen Gaming have also revamped and look to have their act together. I also hear a clean bill of health on Rewards Affiliates. Virgin Games is the pick of the bunch. I will be discussing these things at CAP Down Under.

"We'd like to announce that the nomination stage of the CAP Awards is now closed," stated Lou Fabiano, President and Founder of CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com. "And, in doing so, we want to invite all members of the online gaming community to cast their votes for 2008's best affiliate industry leaders!"
We'd like to announce that the nomination stage of the CAP Awards is now closed
And, in doing so, we want to invite all members of the online gaming community to cast their votes for 2008's best affiliate industry leaders!
"Those in the affiliate industry don't specifically have to be registered at CAP or PAP to vote, but we do encourage you to register with us if you're serious about your affiliate program," added Mr. Fabiano. "And, of course, everyone can vote only once."
Held during January's Gala Reception and Awards Ceremony as part of the annual CAP Euro London event, the CAP Awards is a yearly ceremony held by CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com in collaboration with its sister site, PokerAffiliatePrograms.com ("PAP"), to recognize and honor the most successful and innovative members of the worldwide Internet gaming community.
Representing the largest and longest-running community of its type, with the most popular and highly trafficked user forums in the industry, CAP and PAP are uniquely qualified to empower online gaming's affiliates and affiliate managers with the decision of naming who has made the year's greatest achievements among them -- and therefore who deserves to take home a coveted CAPPY award.
The CAP Awards nominations process is peer-led, allowing the gaming affiliate community to nominate and vote in each category. Overseeing the voting and awards process is an independent judiciary panel made up of ten respected operators, affiliates, and vendors. In addition to providing important industry insight and expertise, these individuals help ensure that the nominations are well-placed and the awards operate in a fair and non-biased manner. The democratic nature of the process is designed to ensure that the CAP Awards represent a consensus of the online gaming affiliate community as a whole, and are not just the decision of the CAP administrators.
The CAP Awards recognize superior achievement for Best Affiliate, Best Affiliate Program, and Best Affiliate Manager in the categories of Casino, Poker, Bingo, Sports Betting, Skill Gaming, and Lottery. There are also awards for Best iGaming Software in the categories of Casino, Poker, and Bingo. Rounding out the awards are Best Overall Affiliate, Best Overall Affiliate Manager, Best iGaming Affiliate Network, and Best Payment System.
