Italian Feast Continues For Playtech
London-listed online gambling provider signs a fourth
Italian licensee
Online gambling software developer Playtech plc has
signed up its fourth Italian licensee in a poker
agreement with Cogetech S.p.A, an Italian online and
land based operator. Cogetech provides sports betting
"white label" solutions to several industry-leading
Italian and global operators.
The agreement marks another stage in the rapid growth of
Playtech's Italian iPoker network, which recently added
Snai, Sisal and Gala Coral's Eurobet Italia as
licensees.
Under the terms of the license agreement, Playtech will
provide Cogetech with its entire portfolio of poker
games in tournament form. At present, the software is
downloadable in a "play for fun" mode, which provides
players with the opportunity to improve their strategies
and hone their skills for free. A "play for real money''
mode is intended for launch later this year.
The product has been fully integrated with Cogetech's
online betting system and the agreement complies with
all Italian regulatory standards. It has been designed
specifically to appeal to the Italian market and
customised to meet all functional requirements,
including a true 'shared wallet' experience between the
sportsbook and poker room, with matching language and
currency.
Mor Weizer, Chief Executive Officer of Playtech,
commented: "This latest addition of Cogetech to
Playtech's Italian ipoker network demonstrates that the
company is capturing an ever more prominent position in
the country, and is committed to expanding its presence
in regulated European markets. We look forward to a long
and productive partnership that will be mutually
beneficial for both parties, and to providing new and
exciting gaming opportunities for Italian players."
Fabio Schiavolin, Chief Executive Officer of Cogetech,
said: "We chose Playtech over other providers because
they are one of the leading players in global management
platforms with a very strong and liquid poker network.
We look forward to working with them to provide all our
customers with an exciting, reliable and continually
evolving service which will provide the best possible
player experience."
