Role 1: Online Gambling Site developer
Role 2: Email Spammer
Money makers both. 😉
Role 2 sounds like the emphasis is on the US market, unless the person writing the job description was clueless enough to think that CAN SPAM is sufficient for “email best practices”
If I were to guess I’d say it’s a company called “Pocket Kings Ltd.”
This is a company called tiltware. They are a poker gaming company that has relocated its development to Ireland.
They are hiring like crazy (think ENBA, those of you who can remember back to those heady days) and don’t mind throwing their money about. I got a jobspec for a Development Manager in my email quoting salaries of €100,000 to €130,000 :-O
Given the change in the US online gambling law, I can see why they are moving shop very quickly.
Pocketkings and tiltware are one and the same. I got an offer from these guys for the email marketing role last Friday, the salary is impressive and have to say am pretty tempted. The whole industry looks a bit shaky at the moment tho. any advice appreciated!
I have been offered a position in Pocket Kings. Is the industry a little shaky – Nicola ?
Hi Bridget, with the US Gambling laws changing it makes sense for companies such as tiltware to try to move into the european market.
It wasnt the move for me but it does sound like a very good compaany, Good luck with it!
The industy is rock solid, how can you say its shaky if they have relocated, published there 45% increase growth, invested in ireland and paying excellent…do you honestly think a company this big would move anywhere without market and industry research….?
I seriously doubt a person whom could come up with the statement, “shaky” and the online gaming industry shaky could work in mcdonalds never mind tiltware…
Like, DUH
Brian, you really ought to disclose that you work for a recruitment agency.
I can assure you that Tiltware and PocketKings are the same, and they are indeed money rich, powerful and hiring. Spending money like crazy as we speak. If they offer you a job, I would simply take it and run where the money flows. This outlet of money will flow for a very very long time for those that are smart, strong in skills, have the ability to deal with ugly web stuff, and come up with good solutions quickly. Good luck, and may you always have pocket kings.
Thinking about going for a job there myself. Anyone know how many development staff they’ve got for their poker? Not had good experiences with gaming development after the team hits a certain size…..
