Playtech Supplies First Cross-Border Poker Network

Renowned software development company, Playtech, has just announced that it is part of major move for the gaming industry. More specifically, it will serve as the supplier for the very first cross-border poker poker network, which will go live in collaboration with both Austria's win2day, and Finland's RAY, companies that have been working together since 2010. This action follows the approval of the Finnish Ministry of Interior. Chief operating officer for Playtech, Shimon Akad, commented, "We have been pioneers in the gaming industry for many years and are extremely proud to be the first company to provide two great brands with a poker network and series of leading products that will combine to form the first ever cross-border poker network. Playtech has long been the largest and most successful poker network in the industry so we're delighted to be part of this new venture.' VP of digital channels for Ray, Jan Hagelberg, added, "Working with win2day has been an extremely smooth process and today's announcement significantly improves the game selection in both Finland and Austria. We expect the change to considerably increase the interest towards both operators' poker games. As we have progressed our co-operation, we have also developed the online poker customer experience together with Playtech.' 'It is with great pleasure that we welcome the opportunity to sustainably expand our offering as the leading online poker provider in Austria with the joint network and thereby improve the customer experience for our users. With RAY, we have found a strong and highly professional partner that shares our commitment to responsible gaming,' added win2day's managing director, Martin Jekl.
