This strategic move brings popular titles such as Cash Link Express: Hold & Win, Lightning Blitz: Chain Collect, and The Great Jackpot Expedition to BoyleSports’ extensive UK player base. Building on partnerships with tier-one operators like Rank Group, Flutter Entertainment, and William Hill, this collaboration further demonstrates the UK and Irish market’s strong response to Octoplay’s premium gaming products.
