Omerta went public on 26 September 2003 with the first version, now known as Omerta 1,0.
It was originally written by Moritz Daan as an amateur project from his home town Groningen.
In three months the game had around 3000 active players with an average of 150 online at all times and peaks up to 500.
During the 5 year run of Omerta, there have been about 3.5 million unique registrations across all versions.
After the initial growth, Steve Biddick purchased a majority of the shares in mid 2004, and formed Omerta Game Limited making him the CEO of Omerta Game Ltd.
The company moved from Groningen in The Netherlands to Hull in the United Kingdom where it currently resides.
