GGL sued by Game Hosting

Swedish based Game Server provider Game-Hosting have recently completed the formalities on the first stage of taking GGL through court to procure some $40,000 owed to the company in unpaid bills. Game Hosting are owed the money following their hosting agreement with GGL that saw the company hosting the Clanbase.com website between January 06 and April 2008. GGL successfully paid the earlier months of hosting, however stopped paying and by April 08 owed approximately $30,000 and the hosting was terminated.

When Clanbase was moved onto Game Hosting's servers it was a welcome increase in performance for Clanbase users who had been experiencing large load times prior to the move. However unpaid bills are a problem that have plagued the GGL organisation for years with several other eSports organisations listing GGL owing money to a variety of teams. Such allegations are still levelled at the company today with amongst others Clanbase Eurocup CoD prizemoney still remaining unpaid according to players.

Eirik Pedersen, Sales Manager, of Game Hosting gave Crossfire this exclusive statement regarding the legal proceedings that had taken place:

Quote by Eirik Pedersen

We have finished legal proceedings against GGL and we won. GGL lost in Swedish courts and GGL is judged to pay us what they owe. Since GGL is a US company the Swedish ruling must now be transferred to US courts and enforced there. GGL has owed us money for over 1 year now and counting. We have several times tried to resolve this before taking it to court but GGL didn’t even reply to our emails, letters or phone calls. Even when presented with court proceedings they chose not to reply/appear. GGL has turned out to be an extremely un-professional organization and we have to warn all other companies out there to not do business with this company. For the record I have to say that Mads has been very professional but he is not the person calling the shots so he could not do anything but forwarding everything to the US office.


I have also talked to other parties that GGL owes money and they would like to take their claim to court but unfortunately they do not have the resources to take their claim to court. It sometimes looks like GGL is planing on not paying out money since they know they most likely do not get sued. However there is good news for those parties, in US you can get affordable help in suing such companies as GGL as long as the claim is not to high. If other parties are interested in taking their claim to court, contact me and I will try and help. There may be a way that you can get the money you have rightfully earned.

Crossfire attempted to contact GGL to obtain a retort to Eiriks statement, however they declined to comment.


We will keep you updated as the legal proceedings continue.
