Playtech Launches with NorthStar Bets in Ontario
Playtech has announced that it has launched its multichannel technology with NorthStar Bets, an Ontario-based brand that provides players with a uniquely local, premier user experience on their casino and sportsbook gaming platform.
This launch comes as part of its strategic partnership announced earlier this year, building on Playtech’s track record of developing games for newly regulated online markets.
Under the agreement, Playtech became NorthStar Gaming’s strategic software and services supplier and is now delivering its IMS platform, casino and live casino services to Ontario’s audiences.
With the addition of Poker content later this year, Playtech will be providing NorthStar Bets with its full technology stack of products to deliver one of Ontario’s premier online casino and sports betting experiences.
“The launch of Playtech’s new software and services partnership with NorthStar Bets is another key milestone in the development of our strategy in North America. Essential to Playtech’s success is our ability to form key strategic partnerships with industry leading operators around the world. NorthStar Bets is uniquely positioned to become one of Ontario’s premier operators, and we’re delighted to be working alongside them to build a market leading responsible gambling proposition,” Shimon Akad, COO at Playtech, said.
“NorthStar Bets puts consumers at the centre of an immersive and content-driven experience. Our partnership with Playtech means that we are able to deliver an engaging and enjoyable online experience with the highest level of player protection. Consumers are looking for content that caters to their individual preferences and interests, and alongside Playtech’s unrivalled multichannel technology we are uniquely positioned to become a leader in the Canadian igaming market,” Michael Moskowitz, CEO at NorthStar Gaming, said.

Rivalry Corp. Announces Significant Reduction in Operations and Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives
Rivalry Corp. announced that its Board of Directors has approved a significant reduction in operating activity as the Company evaluates strategic alternatives in respect of its assets and operations.
The Company is engaged in discussions with third parties regarding potential transactions. However, in light of recent performance volatility, the Board has determined to materially reduce the scale of operations while assessing whether a strategic transaction or other alternative can be advanced.
Effective immediately, the Company is implementing substantial cost reductions, including a significant workforce reduction and reduced operating expenditures. The Company has paused player activity on its platform and is facilitating player withdrawals in the ordinary course.
The Company is assessing a range of potential alternatives, which may include asset-level transactions, corporate transactions, restructuring initiatives or other strategic outcomes.
Given the Company’s reduced operating scale and the ongoing evaluation process, there can be no assurance that any strategic alternative will be completed or that operations will continue in their current form.
