It’s one year later and, once again, Virgin Gaming, the premier online destination for competitive console gamers, will be bringing some Virgin flair to E3. This year Virgin Gaming will be partnering with Maxim to host the hottest party in town at the luxurious Mondrian Hotel Sky Bar on the famed Sunset Strip. The June 7th event isn’t the pair’s first rodeo; they teamed up earlier this year to host a Super Bowl party in Dallas and though neither group seems to remember much about that night, they’re still excited to do it all again in L.A. Virgin Gaming and EA executives will also be available to reveal details of upcoming tournaments and other activities (South Hall, Booth 1601.)
“We had such a tremendous display for our launch last year, from the incredible party, to the one-of-a-kind booth, to, of course, Richard Branson and the million-dollars, we felt that this year we would focus on throwing the most memorable party at E3 in order to thank some or our partners and press that have supported us this past year,” said Rob Segal, CEO, Virgin Gaming. “We’ll still be making a couple of big announcements so there will definitely be some worthy news in the mix as well – and if you thought the million dollars was big, consider that the warm-up for some of our upcoming tournaments.”
“For the 2nd time in 2011, Maxim and Virgin Gaming are teaming up for what is sure to be another explosive partnership,” said Ben Madden, Chief Revenue Officer, Maxim. “Not only is Virgin one of the world’s most respected brands, it’s known for being miles ahead of everyone when it comes to innovation and creativity. Maxim brings that same strategic and creative thinking to the table, especially when it comes to hosting the hottest parties of the year. Considering our guys’ passion for gaming, the synergy between the two brands just makes sense. Maxim can’t wait to bring to LA what we bought to Dallas this past winter – a great time, gorgeous girls and the best bash E3 has ever seen.”
Built on a pioneering online gaming platform, Virgin Gaming enables gamers of all skill levels from around the world to meet, challenge and play each other in head-to-head matches and tournaments for cash, points and prizes.

With the help of a games industry veteran and CEO of Virgin Gaming, Rob Segal, the duo quickly developed the site into a template for online competitive gaming, which has been lauded by gamers for its secure transactions as well as a host of robust functionality that includes automatic results verification, a skill ratings system that creates a level playing field by matching players of like abilities, and a reputation management system that makes good sportsmanship a pre-requisite for gaining access to the biggest and best competitions and prizes.
