2019 Gaming Intelligence Poker Supplier of the Year

Playtech’s biggest achievement of the year was the merger of its French and Spanish regulated market networks – a vital task in preparation for the introduction of shared liquidity between these countries.

Playtech is partnered with six major operators – Betclic and Unibet in France, and Bet365, Betfair, Casino Barcelona and Sportium in Spain – to create the largest B2B poker network across the two countries. With Portugal and Italy also ready to go, you can expect more operators to join the network in 2019.

This was the single biggest differentiator from its competitors, but one other is that it remains the single biggest poker network in the industry. It continues to invest in a vertical that has struggled in recent years and its latest innovation is to bring casino-style gambling to the poker room.

Whether this is through the hybrid missions based on events in its side games or its introduction of the hugely popular Age of Gods brand to poker. Playtech will not stand still and iPoker will benefit.
