Isle of Man-based software provider Playtech announced an agreement with Win2Day to take over supply of the regulated online poker network in Austria.
Under the agreement, the supplier will work closely with the brand to replace current offerings and deliver a quality desktop and mobile poker platform in the next three years. Playtech’s website revealed plans for the new platform to be launched mid-March.
Playtech has invested significant development resource in refreshing its award-winning iPoker client, including a new lobby and home tab, a full overhaul of the software’s poker tables and a series of new game views enabling easier and fully personalized access to a wide variety of popular games.
A number of leading international sports betting and gaming brands including Coral and bet365 have recently gone live with Playtech’s iPoker client, featuring a host of new and enhanced functionality and allowing for rapid future feature and games releases.
The client—which can be tested and viewed on www.ipokerbeta.com—offers quicker and easier access to games via a new home lobby tab and quick seat function. The new software’s personalization capabilities allow it to remember the games a customer has previously played. These are then automatically adding to the game selection in the player’s home screen, allowing rapid access to favorites without having to browse through a long table list.
Joerg Nottebaum, head of iPoker, Playtech, said, “Working in regulated and newly regulating markets with the largest and leading operators is one of Playtech’s core strengths. We’re delighted to have agreed terms with Win2Day and look forward to developing not only the country’s first, but also best-performing poker network and products.”
