We’ve all heard of Playtech, and most of us are a fan of its popular gaming content, but recently it has made headlines for being the FIRST software provider to go live with an online casino in the Czech Republic, in collaboration with Fortuna. The two first initiated a partnership back in August of 2016, in which the supplier would provide the brand with a platform to be used across sportsbook, gaming, and CRM.
The Czech Ministry recently granted Fortuna a license to operate ‘online technical games,’ this past February 24th. Fortuna took this opportunity and ran with it, having already launched a series of Playtech online and mobile games, with more expected to go live throughout the year. Together, the two have already collaborated to go live in Romania, with future plans for Slovakia, and Poland.
Playtech COO, Shimon Akad, commented, “We are delighted to be the first supplier to go live in the Czech Republic with our pioneering omni-channel platform technology and best-performing casino content and to further expand Fortuna’s offering in this newly regulated market. We pride ourselves on being leaders in regulated markets and today’s announcement highlights just how we always aim to lead the way.”
“We are proud to be the first company in the Czech Republic to have met the demanding conditions defined by the new legislation and to be granted a licence as a result. Broadening our product range to complement our sports betting offering is a major priority. We are therefore very pleased that our customers will be the first to play online roulette and casino games in full compliance with Czech legislation,” added Fortuna CZ GM, David Vanek.
Vanek continued, “Granting this licence means that Fortuna has become the first multiproduct (sports and games) gaming company in the Czech market. Our new online casino and aggressive games expansion is crucial to growing the business and means the Fortuna product offering will be comparable to some of Europe’s largest operators. Thanks to our close co-operation with Playtech, the industry’s leading online gaming technology company, we have a comprehensive range of best-performing products and the best gaming experience to offer our players.”
