Playtech Launches First Regulated Online Casino in Poland

Poland has officially launched its first regulated online casino in collaboration with Playtech, the world’s largest supplier of iGaming and sports betting software. The launch of Total Casino is ed by the state-owned National Lottery operator – Totalizator Sportowy.

This cooperation was already announced in March 2018 due to the company’s long-term agreement with the association, which paved the way for providing the underlying platform with casino products and services.

Mor Weizer, chief executive at the company, said:

“This is a significant day for Totalizator Sportowy and for Playtech. A lot of hard work has gone into the last nine months to build an exciting, robust, safe platform for Poland’s players. We owe a big thank you to our new partners at Totalizator Sportowy and look forward to a long, successful relationship.

Our commitment to innovative, industry leading products and the scale and flexibility of our gaming platform means Playtech is the clear partner of choice for the leading land-based operators in newly regulating online markets.”

Totalizator Committed to Form New Partnerships

The Totalizator Sportowy agreement with Playtech follows a series of similar supply contracts with other reputable World Lottery Association such as OPAP, Santa Casa, Sisal, Veikkhaus, Danske Spil and Norsk Tipping.

The state-governed company and owner of the LOTTO brand, has run the country’s services for more than six decades, reaching a network of 17,000 retail shops across the whole territory. Lottery sales in Poland are also managed in partnership with International Gaming Technology (IGT).

Playtech Expanding in Central Europe

Earlier in December, the gambling software development company with headquarters in the Isle of Man, has formed new alliances with operators from central European countries Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and southeastern Romania.

By extending collaboration with Fortuna Entertainment Group, possibly one of the greatest betting brands in this part of Europe, the supplier has launched full integration of its IMS player management system – responsible for sustained growth in all verticals…

In June 2018, Playtech acquired the remaining 19% stake of Snaitech in Italy as well, and set a stronger foothold in the country; the purchase included a transaction of £741 million, which is partially the same as the company’s betting revenues from 2017.

In the meantime, the Estonian-founded provider struck a supply deal with IWG, opening its portfolio of over 100 titles and adding it to the Playtech Bingo Network… Rhydian Fisher, CEO at the London-based company said on that occasion:

“IWG is one of the first suppliers to benefit from the Playtech Open Platform, our new, industry-leading content aggregation technology. We are thrilled about this partnership, as it exemplifies Playtech’s mission with this new platform – to drive innovation in the gaming industry and provide unparalleled access and capabilities to s. We look forward to sharing IWG’s hugely popular catalogue with our partners.”
