Sissel Weitzhandler – Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Play’n GO:

It was an honor to take part at Mare Balticum Gaming Summit in Riga last week. The agenda and topics were extremely relevant, as demonstrated by the high level of interest and the entire event was very well organised. It was an absolute pleasure to take part in the forum so well attended by regulators, legal experts, industry representatives and operators where ideas and lessons can be shared and learned. I would like to thank the organisers, the individual panels including my distinguished fellow panelists. I hope to be back again as I believe this is an event one should not miss.

Portfolio of industry-leading casino content continues to take over Portugal with latest partnership

Pariplay Ltd., the No. 1 aggregator and content provider behind innovative products including the Fusion™ aggregation platform and the Ignite Studio development programme, has today announced it will be taking its presence in Portugal to new heights by partnering with the respected online casino and sports betting operator, Casino Portugal. Through the agreement, Pariplay’s wide breadth of high-quality games, which have already become major hits among Portuguese players, will extend even further by being made available at CasinoPortugal.pt, rounding off a hugely successful 2020 for Pariplay.

Consistent with Pariplay’s ongoing efforts to offer more games to more players in more markets across the globe, bolstering its presence in promising spaces such as Portugal is instrumental.

The agreement will see first-class content from Pariplay’s own propriety game library and the Fusion™ aggregation platform, which have been certified for Portugal and are already live in the market, made available on CasinoPortugal.pt. Hit titles, like Dragons Of The North Deluxe, Wolf Riches, King of The Tirdent Deluxe, Treasure Temple, and Rumble Rhino, all of which are hugely popular in regulated Europe, will complement CasinoPortugal.pt’s existing offering by giving its players access to a whole new assortment of state-of-the-art casino games.

António Laranjo, Co-CEO at Casino Portugal said: “We are happy to be collaborating with leading supplier Pariplay, who have demonstrated their dedication to growth and innovation since the beginning. Thanks to our partnership with them, we’ve enhanced our player offering significantly by introducing an interactive suite of their leading casino games, which have had so much success in this market already.”

Christine Lewis, CCO & MD Malta at Pariplay said: “We are very pleased with how much we were able to broaden our presence throughout regulated markets this year, signing several deals with prominent European operators, including this latest one with Casino Portugal. It’s exciting to see our game studio extend in a country with as much potential as Portugal, and we’re confident that we will continue adding substantial value to the gaming experience for players in this market and many others, as we move forward and expand in 2021.”
