Playtech signs deal with Austrian poker network win2day

Omni-channel gaming software and services supplier, Playtech, has agreed terms with win2day to take over supply of Austria’s regulated online poker network. 

 The initial three-year deal will see Playtech work closely with the Austrian Lotteries and Casinos Austria-owned win2day brand to replace existing suppliers and deliver a bespoke desktop and mobile-enabled poker platform for the country’s only regulated network.

 Playtech will launch the platform in mid-March this year, provide support and work closely with the brand to expand the offering over the next three years.

The company has invested significant development resource in refreshing its award-winning iPoker client including a new lobby and home tab, a full overhaul of the software’s poker tables and a series of new game views enabling easier and fully personalised access to a wide variety of players’ favourite games.

 The likes of Coral and Bet365 have recently gone live with Playtech’s innovative iPoker client which features a host of new and enhanced functionality. One particularly useful feature is that the new software’s personalisation capabilities allow it to remember the games you have previously played, and give easy fast access to them. 

Players on the world’s largest poker network can also fully control and further personalise their lobbies using the new ‘My Poker’ section. This gives them access to a variety of settings and customisation options as well as overviews on poker bonuses, rewards, favourite games, free tokens, messages and more.

 Joerg Nottebaum, Head of iPoker at Playtech, said of the news: “Working in regulated and newly regulating markets with the largest and leading operators is one of Playtech’s core strengths. We’re delighted to have agreed terms with Win2Day and look forward to developing not only the country’s first, but also best-performing poker network and products.”
