One of the biggest game providers, Playtech will extend its presence on the New Jersey market. First, they acquired regulatory approval in June 2020. Then, in August the company announced a partnership with Bet365. Only a month after that, Playtech games are ready to launch with one more casino – BetMGM.

BetMGM is a well-known casino, poker, and sportsbook brand. It’s journey in New Jersey started in the summer of 2018. In 2020 BetMGM expanded to West Virginia and Indiana. The deal with PT allows them to launch the Playtech games content across their casinos in NJ. Furthermore, it will allow similar launches in the other US states where BetMGM is active.

We are delighted to launch with leading operator BetMGM in New Jersey. This is the exciting first step in our partnership which will see us launch in further states.

It is a big step for the company in its effort to build a significant presence of Playtech’s games in the US. Playtech partners with leading brands in the newly regulated markets to deliver their gambling technology.

Our online casino customers in New Jersey will now be able to enjoy casino games from one of the World’s leading suppliers of gambling software.
