Joining the ranks of the burgeoning online gambling industry, the online gaming industry, is catching on in popularity too. Online gaming differs significantly, however, in terms of the types of games offered. Whereas online gambling sites offer typical casino style games for play, online gaming sites, such as MoneyGaming.com launched by the Money Gaming Corporation, offers online skill games that users can play for high stakes. Games such as backgammon, chess, word games (e.g. crosswords and Scrabble), and various classic board games like checkers, Othello, and Solitaire are all available for playing at MoneyGaming.com, and you can play against people from all over the world. MoneyGaming.com even offers such games as pool, Battleship, and mini-golf. Visitors pick the game they want to play and then they have the option of either letting MoneyGaming.com find an opponent for them to play against or they can choose to play against friends or family members using the private game rooms.

Because the games at MoneyGaming.com are games of skill and not of chance (such as poker, roulette, baccarat, etc.,), MoneyGaming’s format provides the player an advantage; the better the player, the better the chances of winning and the more money to be won. “Online gambling has clearly become part of everyday life; MoneyGaming.com gives players a more balanced option, whereby the better you play the more you will win,” commented Liad Shababo, CEO of The Money Gaming Corporation. “MoneyGaming.com essentially integrates all of the risk and adrenalin of online gaming, but in a skill-based, user friendly, safe and secure environment”, he added.

MoneyGaming.com can be based in the UK because it does not face the same question regarding its legal status, as do online gambling companies. Online gambling sites are illegal in the United States and the United Kingdom but online gaming companies do not fall under the same category. This puts MoneyGaming in the unique position of being able to provide a completely secure environment for gamers to play.

Similar to the Internet gambling market, the Internet gaming market is also experiencing rapid growth and can even boast the most session time in terms of online activity. In fact, the worldwide market for online games is expected to reach 9.8 billion dollars by 2009. This figure represents a 410 percent increase over the 2003 revenue of 1.9 billion dollars. MoneyGaming.com’s robust start in the industry places it in a leading position in the online gaming market.
