Pariplay games are now live and certified for more than 15 regulated jurisdictions, including: New Jersey, UK, Spain, Colombia, Sweden, Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Romania, Switzerland and Germany. The company also holds B2B licenses in New Jersey, West Virginia, UK, Malta, Gibraltar, Romania and Greece.

Joey Hurtado, Managing Director of Gaming at Pariplay, said: “It is a privilege to be joining a company with a well-earned reputation for excellence in both aggregation and the production of its own high-quality in-house content. My goal now is to use my own industry experience to drive forward Pariplay’s games development strategy so that we can put our titles in front of as many eyes as possible around the world.”

Adrian Bailey, Managing Director at Pariplay, said: “Joey brings the sort of experience and deep industry knowledge that will prove invaluable as we implement our growth strategy for proprietary games content. I look forward to working together as we continue to make rapid progress in an ever-increasing number of regulated markets.”
