They are the ideal company to introduce Live to the country given their leading market position in Switzerland.

“Playtech has always maintained a focus on being the partner of choice across regulated and newly regulated markets. This kind of partnership, opening up a new sector in a newly regulated market, is a perfect example of our strategy in action.”

Swiss Casino Group CEO Marc Baumann added: “Swiss Casinos has successfully established itself as the market leader for land-based casinos in Switzerland. Choosing the partner for the online platform then was our top priority and we are delighted to partner with Playtech.

“In our partnership with Playtech, we want to continue the success story of Swiss Casinos in the online market as well. The outstanding offer, the high competence of the team and the flexibility in adapting to the regulatory requirements have laid the foundation for a successful and long-term cooperation.”

Switzerland recently regulated online betting and began offering licensed online casino services to those within their borders. All casino sites have to partner with a land casino to offer services.
