Playtech has received recognition at the EGR Global B2B Awards, securing the title of Best Live Casino Supplier while continuing to broaden its presence in key international markets.
The award highlights the company’s achievements in live casino operations and arrives during a period of expansion that has also seen Playtech introduce its iPoker technology into North America for the first time.
According to the company, the accolade reflects the work of its live casino division and its focus on customer experience. In a statement following the announcement, Playtech said: “We are thrilled to announce that Playtech has been named Best Live Casino Supplier at this year's EGR Global B2B Awards.”
The company added: “This award serves as recognition of the Playtech Live team's commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience.”
Recognition for Live Casino Development
The EGR B2B Awards honour service providers operating within the igaming sector, recognising achievements in areas including innovation, reliability and client support. The programme is widely regarded as a benchmark for supplier performance across the industry.
Comments published alongside the award selection highlighted several factors behind Playtech’s success. Judges stated: “Playtech's LATAM expansion demonstrates genuine understanding of regional customer need and jurisdictional readiness. The innovative blue-screen dynamic table for BetVictor, enabling multi-brand customisation from a single physical set, showcases technical creativity, and the overall entry shows strong growth.”
The recognition comes as competition among suppliers continues to intensify, with operators seeking technology partners capable of delivering scalable products and market-specific solutions.
Industry observers often view success at the EGR B2B Awards as an indication of operational strength and product quality. The awards also provide additional visibility for suppliers competing for partnerships across regulated gaming markets.
Poker Technology Reaches North America
Alongside its live casino achievements, Playtech recently extended its poker technology footprint into North America through an agreement with FanDuel.
The launch marks the first deployment of Playtech’s iPoker network in the region. Through the partnership, FanDuel customers in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario can access poker services powered by Playtech’s platform.
FanDuel has become the first operator in North America to license Playtech’s poker technology, giving the supplier entry into several regulated jurisdictions simultaneously. The rollout follows the introduction of PokerStars exclusively on FanDuel, with Playtech supplying the technology infrastructure supporting the poker product.
Regional Growth Strategy Continues
The North American launch represents a notable milestone for Playtech’s poker division, which has operated in numerous international markets before entering the United States and Canada.
By establishing a presence across three US states and Ontario through a single agreement, Playtech gains access to a substantial regulated player base while strengthening its regional expansion plans.
The company describes iPoker as one of the gaming industry's longest-running poker networks and views the FanDuel partnership as an important step in increasing the reach of its technology portfolio.
The combination of industry recognition and expansion into new regulated markets reflects Playtech’s ongoing efforts to grow multiple areas of its business across live casino and poker segments.
