Playtech grows footprint in Ontario with expanded SkillOnNet deal

The partnership involves Playtech's game studio Eyecon.

Playtech is expanding its partnership with SkillOnNet through one of its game studios.

The London-based gambling software company announced on Thursday a partnership between its game studio Eyecon and online casino software provider SkillOnNet. The partnership allows Playtech to expand its reach across Ontario’s regulated gaming market.

“The launch of our games in Ontario with SkillOnNet is an important milestone in our group’s strategy to expand into new markets,” said Eyecon Commercial Director Paul Gielbert. “SkillOnNet is a key operator in the Ontario market, and we are excited to be building on our already strong relationship with them as our exclusive partner for this launch.”

Eyecon will deliver its portfolio of iGaming titles to players in Ontario for the first time as part of its deal with SkillOnNet following the success of the partnership in other markets.

Playtech bolsters its live studio business

Earlier this month, the gambling software giant expanded its live casino offerings by launching a new studio as part of a new long-term partnership with evoke plc.

The new studio, Club Aurora, is the third studio Playtech has launched with evoke. It offers players a series of traditional casino table games, including blackjack and roulette. Club Aurora also offers players a free-to-play gaming option through its Trivia hub.

Playtech and evoke launched their first live casino studios in 2024. The live casino studios from Playtech and evoke are available to players in select European markets.

Eyecon also recently expanded its reach in Europe by delivering online casino games to Ivy Casino. The company’s partnership with Ivy Casino solidifies its footprint in the UK.

In addition to SkillOnNet and evoke, Playtech has a portfolio of partners that includes some of the largest entities in gaming and entertainment. Since its founding in 1999, the company has landed deals with Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount.
