Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has extended its iGaming offering with the integration of Playtech’s iPoker product to its platform.

With Playtech’s iPoker boasting a network of more than 35,000 players, the partnership will enable operators to access one of the largest poker networks in the world, through GiG’s iGaming platform. 

Operators will be able to access a wide variety of game types, with an extensive offering of table stakes and buy-ins and games across HTML5 web, mobile, iOS, and Android.

Discussing the news Chief Commercial Officer at GiG, Ben Clemes, said:

“We are excited to have partnered with Playtech in entering the poker betting vertical. The integration of Playtech’s iPoker product with our iGaming Platform allows us to further extend our betting options and enables our partners to offer a strong poker betting player experience.

“As part of the process, we added to our microservices, which gives us the ability to scale and integrate with other third-party poker providers in the future —providing our partners with more flexibility and choice.’’

While Chief Operating Officer at Playtech, Shimon Akad, added:

“We’re delighted to partner with GiG and welcome them to our iPoker network. Having invested heavily in our new poker web client, in addition to our native poker app and popular downloadable desktop poker client, together Playtech and GiG can offer operators access to an exceptionally flexible platform as well as an ever-growing network. GiG is an important strategic partner for us, we look forward to continuing to work with them to bring industry-leading technology to the sector.”

AYO.NEWS says:

There’s no doubt that the online poker product has improved dramatically over the past few years, and the COVID-19 sports shutdown has given it a boost as operators search for alternatives to keep customers engaged. Will it last into the post-COVID-19 world though? 

Staying with online poker, last month we caught up with Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO of EvenBet Gaming, to find out how the crisis was affecting business.
