Playtech

Founding and Ownership

Playtech states that it was founded in 1999 and that the company has a premium listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. No company owns it; it is the group's own ultimate parent. Playtech itself owns other studios, including Quickspin, whose own About page states that it was acquired by Playtech in 2016.

What It Makes

Playtech is a platform, content and services supplier rather than a single-product studio. On the content side it states that it has eight global content studios and a portfolio of over 1,000 games, that its jackpot network features over 80 games, and that it has secured licensing agreements with major film and television studios and international brand owners to create branded slot games. On live casino it states that it runs dedicated studio space in Europe, the United States and Latin America, and that its live range spans traditional card and table games, variants such as Quantum Roulette and several blackjack variants, and game-show style content.

Where It Is Licensed

Playtech states on its own site that Playtech plc holds a critical gaming supply corporate licence, number MGA/CRP/137/2007, issued on 6 December 2018 by the Malta Gaming Authority, and that Playtech plc is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under account number 38516. The Gambling Commission's public register records that account under Playtech plc with a head office in Fetter Lane, London, and carries the full remote gambling software licence number against it.
