When High Roller Technologies launches in Ontario’s online gambling market, it will do so using Playtech’s platform.

Las Vegas-based operator High Roller confirmed last week that it has applied to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) for a licence to offer online gaming in the province’s regulated market.

Subject to licensing and regulatory approval, it expects to launch its flagship online casino brand HighRoller.com in Ontario before the end of this year.

On Monday, the firm announced a strategic partnership that will see Playtech provide its technology to power High Roller’s platform and brand in the province.

“Collaborating with Playtech in Ontario is an exciting step for High Roller as we continue to grow and evolve,” said High Roller CEO Ben Clemes. “Playtech’s well-established technology will be instrumental to our mission of providing a world-class entertainment experience for our players.”

“Ontario is missing an elegant brand like High Roller,” Clemes said at the time of the licence application disclosure. “We’re excited to roll out the red carpet for our new customers, and we’re looking forward to showcasing our tremendous product.”

High Roller Technologies is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It offers a real-money online casino platform that hosts a portfolio of over 5,300 games from more than 90 game providers.

The firm also revealed last week that it intends to pursue an operator licence in Alberta whenever that province opens its doors to commercial operators. Alberta’s iGaming legislation was signed into law last month.

Playtech has a range of operator partners in Ontario, including FanDuel, Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers and made-in-Canada brands theScore and NorthStar Gaming.

In late April, it expanded its Eyecon studio’s collaboration with SkillOnNet in Ontario.

“We are delighted to partner with High Roller as they expand into Ontario,” added Playtech Chief Revenue Officer Sergey Harutyunyan. “Playtech’s technology is designed to support operators in regulated markets, and we look forward to working together to provide High Roller’s players with safe, innovative, and engaging gaming experiences.”
