About us
Playtech is the leading technology provider to the global Gambling industry, with high operating margins and high cash generation. This strong financial profile creates the ability to further extend our leading market position by investing in R&D, targeted strategic M&A, and generating value and returns for shareholders through dividends and buying back shares.
Playtech provides its technology on a B2B basis to the industry’s leading retail and online operators, land-based casino groups and government monopolies.
