Casual Gaming adds features that enhance Gamers' Online Experience

White Plains, N.Y., June 23, 2008 - IWON®, one of the Internet's largest winner-sites today launched IWON Profiles and IWON Chat, two features giving IWON members the ability to share their love of playing their favorite online games for free, winning cash and prizes and bragging about it too.

Accessible on over 100 IWON games, IWON Chat allows members to brag, share tips, give advice, challenge or simply chat with up to 50 users at once while playing their favorite game. Within the chat window, fellow players' game rankings are visible allowing members to compare themselves against other IWON.com users.

With the new IWON Profiles, members create a customized profile page featuring a personalized icon, IWON.com coin tracker, game records, player comparisons and quicklinks to their favorite games. Once an IWON.com member profile is created it can be viewed by other IWON.com members who can then pose game challenges to each other.
