Editor's Personal Experience

Senior iGaming Reviewer

Amirah Zulkifli

Senior iGaming Reviewer

Review date:

As an editor, I assessed Playtech from a provider standpoint: a broad portfolio, the iconic Age of the Gods jackpot, live casino from Las Vegas, and strong licences across regulated markets (79% of B2B revenue is regulated). I hold nothing against the B2B role β€” it is simply not a player casino. My score matches the review: 9.0/10.

Should Operators Use This Platform?

Playtech earns 9.0/10 for New Zealand thanks to its 1,000+-game portfolio, UKGC and MGA licences, live network and PAM/IMS platform.
