London, January 30 2020 – Playtech, the world’s leading gambling technology company, has been named the Casino Platform Provider of the Year at the EGR Nordics Awards 2020, celebrating the most successful and innovative online gaming companies operating in the Nordics region.

  • The full integration of BetBuddy – an industry-leading safer gambling platform built around machine learning, powering real-time, in-game interactions with players.
  • The MultiCheck Verification Gateway service, providing access to multiple verification specialists in a single request.

 

Shimon Akad, Chief Operating Officer at Playtech, comments: “A year after the full regulation of the Swedish market, the Nordics region continues to offer strong potential for growth and development, so we’re delighted to be recognised by the EGR Nordics Awards panel. IMS is seamlessly configurable to support any regulated market requirements, making it the ideal platform for operators looking to adapt to new regions and expand internationally. With a strong focus on data-driven player engagement and interaction, we’re confident IMS will continue to help our partners grow and thrive within the Nordics and beyond”.
