Popular casino game developer Play’n GO has taken its place as the newest member of the Canadian Gaming Association (CGA). As a company that also advocates for responsible and regulated gambling, Play’n GO’s application was accepted without hassle. This article will tell you all about this collaboration and update you on the other moves that Play’n GO has been making recently.
The Canadian Gaming Association is an association for esports betting, sports betting, gaming companies, and lottery organizations in Canada. It’s an organization that has been active for more than 15 years, regulating the gambling landscape in Canada.
A month after Play’n GO’s expansion into Quebec, this company decided to join the Canadian Gaming Association. This was an easy decision as the CGA’s values perfectly aligned with theirs, and the application was accepted without issues.
Saam Hafezi, Play’n GO’s Head of Region for North America, has also indicated his joy regarding this collaboration. He acknowledges that Play’n GO has always advocated for a safe and regulated gambling experience.
So, getting an official body like the CGA to accept their application is exciting and a step in the right direction. Saam also said that he is looking forward to collaborating with the CGA to bring about a more sustainable future for online gambling.
These positive feelings are also reciprocated by the President of the Canadian Gaming Association, Paul Burns. In his statement, he said that the CGA was pleased to have Play’n GO as a partner. As the values of both organizations align, he believes that this collaboration will advance the evolution of the gaming industry in Canada.
After Ontatio’s regulated iGaming market launched in 2022, Play’n GO was one of the software developers that was attracted. It came into the province and quickly received a supplier license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. With this license, Play’n GO was able to supply its games to numerous casino operations in Ontario.
Two years after receiving their Ontario license, Play’n GO decided to move to Quebec. They met with the only iGaming operator in the region, Loto-Québec, and entered a deal with them.
Loto-Québec prides itself on only offering titles that add value to its brand. So accepting Play’n GO and bringing its titles to its players was natural. After this success, Play’n GO CEO, Magnus Olsson released a statement saying that this represents the first stage of their North American entry strategy.
Play’n GO is now a popular name in North America, as the software developer has set its North American entry strategy into motion. It has secured partnerships not only in Canada but also with BetMGM in Pennsylvania and others in Michigan, West Virginia, and New Jersey. Apart from BetMGM, Play’n GO also partnered with BetRivers in Pennsylvania to further expand the market for its products.
Following this move, Play’n GO is now operating in two regions in Canada, Ontario and Quebec. So, Canadian gamblers in those regions can play their casino games.
Play’n GO has always been clear about its desire to be active in any regulated market worldwide. So, you can expect their services to become legal in other provinces soon.
