TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 07/23/15 — Imperus Technologies Corp. (“Imperus” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: LAB)(FRANKFURT: ISX)(FRANKFURT WKN: A12B58) reports that following the acquisition of Diwip Ltd. (“Diwip”), Imperus has dedicated resources towards focusing on its Social Gaming business and assessing the short and long term opportunities that would bring value to the Company–s shareholders.
Diwip continues to be a strong performer in the social casino market, maintaining a position in the range of 32-34 overall on Facebook as a Top Grossing Games App. Mobile continues to be a major growth opportunity for Diwip and initial results have indicated that the mobile sector has the potential to contribute significantly to the growth of Diwip.
Diwip has demonstrated its ability to create and maintain highly profitable Facebook apps and as a result, additional developments are under way to launch further products on Facebook. Diwip will also release further products on the iOS and Android platforms this summer. Amongst these new product lines, Diwip will be launching its much anticipated “Best Vegas Slots” brand on Facebook, iOS and Android platforms tailored for Diwip–s VIP high value players.
In addition to Best Casino brand, Diwip continues to experience growth with its Slotsclub and BingoTrip brands. Slots Club can be found at the following link: and Bingo Trip can be found at:
Imperus is currently in discussions with additional social gaming companies. Imperus believes further acquisitions will provide synergies that will accelerate the company–s growth in this market. These synergies include, but are not limited to, the expansion of geographies, access to a larger base of players to market existing games to, and the adoption of additional highly profitable applications that Diwip–s current 25 million users can enjoy.
Moving forward, it is the intention of Imperus to focus on Social Gaming and the opportunities this sector represents, either through the organic growth of its B2C business, partnerships with other publishers and distributors of content, and further acquisitions. Vast will shift its focus of developing hidden object games to social games to complement Diwip–s business. Imperus will begin development of technologies to complement and enhance the product lines of Diwip, and focus on additional services that will benefit its social business.
Daniel Kajouie, President and CEO of Imperus stated “Expansion of regulation in real money gambling continues to pose significant challenges. The United States has so far regulated limited types of games, within very small states, such as Delaware and New Jersey, where revenue opportunities are limited and the market is over-saturated.” Mr. Kajouie went on to say “On the other hand, Social Gaming continues to prosper and experience exponential growth. We are at the right place and the right time with the right team to take advantage of these opportunities”. Mr. Kajouie added “I truly believe our pivot to Social is the right decision for Imperus as I am confident that, by combining what we have learned over the past 15 years in Real Money gaming with our newly acquired social team, Imperus will create more value for our shareholders, both in the short term and long term”.
