Bigpoint GmbH, one of the largest gaming portal with more than 125 million registrations worldwide, has selected Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: LVLT), for online content delivery network and caching services to support multiple titles in Bigpoint's browser games catalog in the United States and Europe.

Bigpoint is a developer, operator and publisher of browser-based online games and provides game content for media partners around the world.

Bigpoint offers free game playing structure with options available for purchasing "goods" and premium subscriptions within many games.

"With new locations in Berlin and San Francisco, in addition to our Malta offices and our headquarters in Hamburg, this is a big expansion year for Bigpoint, and so it became critical to enlist a CDN provider with the ability to easily scale to support our growth," said Dr. Jan Wergin, chief technology officer with BigPoint.

"Level 3 has both the expansive IP network and advanced CDN we need to help ensure a high-quality game playing experience for our users,” he added.
