Vita Media Group, a Top 20 Power Affiliate according to EGR Global, is excited to announce a new partnership with one of the pioneer gaming providers, SmartSoft Gaming.

A strategical partnership with SmartSoft Gaming represents a historic turn for EkstraPoint as it will allow us to provide our users with a wide portfolio of new and modern games. Additionally, this implementation proves the scalability and depth that this product has to offer, which makes it an important milestone in our pursue of seeing EkstraPoint be the platform that gamblers and advertisers can’t see themselves without” said Mr. Hansen.
SmartSoft Gaming is a company managed by a team with 20 years of experience in the Igaming industry, hence that is a factor that will benefit the Ekstrapoint platform. The Chief Marketing Officer of SmartSoft Gaming, Luka Namoradze, shared his thoughts on the new collaboration with Vita Media Group.
“We are glad that our games are now available on a very special and interesting platform. We are looking forward to a very successful collaboration, which on one hand will increase the awareness of our games and on the other hand bring Ekstrapoint players a whole new level of excitement. We hope that the journey in the dreamworld of SmartSoft Gaming will be entertaining for everyone.” stated Mr. Namoradze.
The first game that the Ekstrapoint players will taste is Samurai. This video slot will offer the players:
• The feel of an Asian adventure
• An overall advanced graphic experience with cutting-edge imagery
• increased Level of quality entertainment on Ekstrapoint.
The Samurai slot is now fully integrated with all the key components of the Ekstrapoint platform such as the Leaderboard where players can check their score and compete for top prizes, as well as the Personal Dashboard where players can go through all of their Ekstrapoint achievements and activity.
Ekstrapoint.com is the first and only loyalty and rewarding platform in the Igaming industry designed and developed by Vita Media Group. The platform offers free casino games and free ekstra points every time a player plays one of the games or participates in the competition. The unique iGaming model of Ekstrapoint tends to reward players with ekstra points that they can later use to play at real casinos or to buy products from the Ekstrapoint shop. Ekstrapoint is enjoyed by the Igaming community with an excellent score of 4.8 on TrustPilot.
