Playtech

Playtech develops software for the online gambling industry and operates on a B2B model: its products are aimed not at end players but at gambling operators, who receive the technology under licence. The company's client base consists of licensed operators active in regulated markets. In the catalogue, Playtech appears both as a provider of gaming software and as a supplier of platform solutions, since its offering covers content as well as the infrastructure needed to run it.

The product range spans several gaming verticals: software for online casino, live casino, poker and bingo, all aimed at the same circle of clients — licensed operators. Alongside the gaming software, operators are licensed the IMS player management platform, a central tool through which they handle their audience. Software and platform are delivered as a single package, so an operator can source both the games themselves and the technological basis for managing them from one vendor.

The company was founded in 1999. Its headquarters are located in Douglas on the Isle of Man, and Playtech is a publicly traded company whose shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The company's official website is playtech.com.
