GlobeNewswire 2012-01-10
LAKE TAHOE, Nev., Jan. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consorteum Holdings
Inc. ("Consorteum" or the "Company"), soon to be Game2Mobile
International Corporation, (OTCQB:CSRH), and its wholly owned
subsidiary Tarsin, today announced the launch of its flagship product,
CAPSA, the mobile wagering compliance platform.
CAPSA has a proven capability of bringing a universal solution to the
problems of wagering and betting in the fractured world of mobile,
where multiple different operating systems, user interfaces, and form
factors create enormous barriers to launching commercial propositions.
Named after the Latin for "container" or "holder," CAPSA is the result
of half a million man-‐hours of investment and engineering effort
to create a single, solid repository for content management and
delivery of mobile betting, wagering and sports book offerings.
With CAPSA, gaming operators can now de-‐risk launching and
monetizing innovative mobile wagering products and services quickly and
robustly, and reach broad new revenue streams through a comprehensive
mobile suite of distribution, marketing, location and payment
capabilities.
"Having spent a decade learning the complexity of mobile publishing,
and solving compliance challenges, we will now be the engine powering
expansion onto the widest range of mobiles in whatever territories a
gaming operator chooses," said John Osborne, Chief Executive Officer of
Tarsin Inc. "Operators want to extend their brands and market reach by
putting their loyalty programs, games and betting literally into the
hands of their players."
He added, "People enjoy consuming media, content and games via their
mobiles, and as US legislation begins to encourage gaming operators
here to respond to that behavior, we can look forward to bold
innovation in gaming and wagering."
Features and facts
The CAPSA wagering platform offers a suite of fully featured and proven
technology solutions which are critical to the nature of placing a
wager. Not the least are identity confirmation, geofencing by state or
region, a suite of consumer billing options, and a high level of
personal and corporate security including device authentication prior
to each m-‐commerce transaction. Supporting professional
services, design services and project management services enable full
systems integration with back-‐end gaming infrastructures, web
front ends and bricks-‐and-‐mortar operations. The platform
supports marketing program integration and execution, ensuring high
levels of distribution for operators, and ease of adoption for
consumers. Its inbuilt scalability and resilience supports propositions
launched on both national and international footprints.
With an ever-‐increasing rate of handset development and new
device release, and an increasing number of manufacturers entering the
mobile space, CAPSA ensures that hardware is supported upon production
release, maximizing the addressable mobile market in real time. As of
January 2012 CAPSA supports over 1500 handsets, smartphones and tablets
from 49 manufacturers, is interoperable with 941 carriers and mobile
operators worldwide including 196 in North America, and designs and
publishes seamlessly across multiple variants of operating systems
based on Apple, Android, Windows, Rim, Nokia, Java and BREW. Tarsin

publishing over 3 million mobile applications to consumers.
