 bwin
The bwin Group is the world's leading provider of online gaming entertainment. Operating under licenses issued in Gibraltar, Kahnawake (Canada), Germany, Italy, Mexico, Austria, and the United Kingdom, the company's subsidiaries and affiliates offer sports betting, poker, casino games, soft games and skill games. Additional products are audio and video streams on top sporting events such as the German Bundesliga. These are all provided via the Internet, and many are also available via other digital distribution channels such as mobile phones. The group derives its revenues primarily from sports betting and poker on its primary websites, www.bwin.com and www.pokerroom.com. Competence centers are located in Vienna, Stockholm, and Gibraltar. bwin's staff has increased during the last years up to around 1200 at this time - and is still growing. While most companies operating in the online gaming market are only just beginning to tackle the subject of corporate social responsibility, bwin has set it as a major focus. At the beginning of 2006, bwin established a separate CSR department with a view to building social responsibility into its product range, and offering appropriate solutions in line with the status of international debate on online gaming. The ongoing evaluation and adaptation of internal processes and the orientation of marketing campaigns are just two examples of this. bwin bases its CSR strategy on research and factual reports, and is keen to make the knowledge generated publicly available, and to contribute to the drafting and implementation of a socially responsible framework.
