With Microsoft officially shutting down Skype in May, a new purpose-built communication platform has emerged as the ideal successor.
Ping, a secure and fully encrypted end-to-end messaging platform, is primed to launch as a modern, intuitive, and industry-focused alternative to legacy platforms like Skype and Teams.
Designed for seamless transition
Unlike Microsoft Teams, which is being positioned as Skype’s successor, Ping is built with speed, security, and usability at its core.
It enables professionals to migrate effortlessly, offering a straightforward way to download and transfer their Skype contacts directly into Ping.
A dedicated iGaming directory
What sets Ping apart is its fully authenticated iGaming industry directory, allowing users to connect instantly with verified professionals across major operators, suppliers, and service providers.
Unlike traditional messaging platforms, Ping ensures company-verified employee authentication, reducing spam, fraud, and phishing risks while fostering trust and transparency across the industry.
Built for the modern age
Available on both desktop and mobile, Ping delivers a seamless experience across multiple devices. More akin to WhatsApp or Telegram than Skype or Teams, it provides real-time messaging, voice and video calls, and enhanced security features designed for the fast-paced iGaming sector.
“With Skype fading into obsolescence, the industry needs a communication tool that truly understands its needs,” said Ping CEO Agne Galvelyte.
“Ping is not just a replacement—it’s an upgrade. It brings the iGaming community together with verified connections, industry-specific features, and a modern interface that makes business communication effortless.”
Ping is set to become the go-to communication tool for iGaming professionals following an official launch on 25 March 2025.
