ZEAL and GAMOMAT announce partnership

ZEAL and GAMOMAT, two renowned companies in the iGaming industry in Germany, announce their cooperation. As part of the partnership, ZEAL will integrate a continuously growing number of online games from the Berlin-based development studio GAMOMAT into its games portfolio in the web shops of its brands LOTTO24 and Tipp24. The cooperation has officially started in April this year.
Strong advantages for both sides
The cooperation brings advantages for both companies: While ZEAL can expand its product range with GAMOMAT’s popular and high-quality titles and also benefits from the company’s experience in international markets, GAMOMAT will increase its targeted reach and growth through its cooperation with ZEAL.
“With GAMOMAT’s popular games, we are expanding our portfolio with high-quality titles that will delight our customers,” says Alex Green, Vice President Games at ZEAL. “We are proud to have such an experienced and successful partner like GAMOMAT at our side and are very much looking forward to the mutual exchange.”
“We are proud of our partnership with ZEAL,” says Robert Kocher, Managing Director of GAMOMAT Distribution GmbH. “Our goal is to reach as many satisfied customers as possible with our portfolio. The regulated market in Germany is a home turf for us, and therefore the integration of our titles into ZEAL’s high-quality portfolio is particularly important to us. For us, this is another step in our sustainable growth strategy with a trusted partner.”
