In order to offer its players a seamless gaming experience, GameDuell has been experimenting with new cross-platform technologies for several years. After releasing Bubble Speed in 2012, which connected Facebook to iOS players, the company launched their first HTML5 cross-platform games, Crazy Eights and Belote, in early 2014.

The new web standard has revolutionized the development of web applications for desktop and mobile devices by using a common programming base. It enables GameDuell to develop complex animations and controls that are only programmed once and can then be run on different devices.
