Spil Games three global social-gaming platforms attracted 170 million unique visitors—a leap of around 40 million compared to December 2010 and almost double the previous year’s growth—but the average time spent on site increased too, from 34 minutes to 84.

“Deciding to embrace social features so pro-actively is clearly paying off for us—we’re seeing a huge leap in user engagement, unique visits, time spent on site and, crucially, in revenues generated by end-user monetization,” said Peter Driessen, Spil Games CEO. “Also, by focusing on specific target audiences and delivering the content they love, we’re experiencing growth at a time when many local social networks are seeing a decline in their number of visitors.”

Two of the largest players in the online social-gaming market are coming together in an agreement which will see Bigpoint’s ZooMumba appear on Spil Games’ social-gaming platforms.

“This global collaboration will bring one of Bigpoint’s best social games to the largest and most effectively targeted community of like-minded social gamers available today,” said Peter Driessen, Spil Games’ CEO. “This is a real meeting of minds – I’ve long admired Bigpoint’s innovation within the browser-based gaming world, and I’m delighted to welcome them to Spil’s expanding social-gaming platforms.”

“We’re thrilled to bring our already hugely successful game ZooMumba to Spil’s platform,” said Heiko Hubertz, CEO of Bigpoint. “Spil’s audience of like-minded gamers is unique in the industry. Plus, their global reach, localised approach and easy-to-use API will bring us scalability in efficiently rolling out our games in multiple languages, as well as leveraging Spil’s social features. We’re certain this collaboration will ensure high amounts of exposure to ZooMumba and more of our games in the future.”
