Under the deal, ORYX will provide a turnkey solution covering a broad range of products and services including its Player Account Management (PAM) iGaming Platform as well as operational services including payments, KYC, fraud and data management. Also included is the supplier’s FUZE player engagement tools, including tournaments, missions and quests, all shown to boost operator KPIs and increase player lifetime value.

Players at MERKUR’s online casinos will be able to enjoy a wide range of hits from the ORYX Hub, which hosts exclusive titles from GAMOMAT, Peter & Sons and ORYX’s own in-house studios, as well as aggregated casino content from a huge range of iGaming industry suppliers. The full MERKUR Czech launch powered by the ORYX platform is expected to go live in mid-Q2 2022.

With its MERKUR arcades, the operating and manufacturing giant Gauselmann Group is well-established in the land-based vertical, and the provision of ORYX’s platform will allow for an alignment of its land-based operations with its current activity in the online sector.

Online gambling in the country has been regulated since 2017 and is showing strong year-on-year growth. In 2020, the vertical brought in approximately USD 550m (CKZ 12bn) and accounted for over 32% of total gambling revenue, highlighting the significant opportunity for both parties.

Richard Carter, Chief Executive Officer of Bragg, said: “Reaching this full turnkey platform agreement with an established global land-based and online gaming group such as Gauselmann marks another significant step for Bragg Gaming Group as we continue to execute on our strategy of penetrating regulated markets with leading operators.

Stefan Bruns, Chief Executive Officer at MERKUR, said: “ORYX’s commitment to providing a market leading turnkey online gaming solution coupled with its market leading range of both in-house and third-party casino content and services match exactly what we’re looking for to take our brand online to Czech players. It offers us the right blend of flexibility and differentiation that is going to serve us well as we continue to grow our leading presence there.”

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted a resolution on licensing conditions in the gambling sector, which allows the state agency PlayCity to begin issuing licenses to gambling organisers and confirming previously issued ones.

“As a result, this will generate almost UAH 50 million (1.028.956,00 Euro) in additional revenues to the state budget from license fees in the near future,” PlayCity reported on Telegram.

It is noted that to obtain a license, impeccable business reputation, lack of ties with the aggressor state and implementation of all necessary mechanisms for responsible gaming are required.

PlayCity clarified that such requirements apply to both those who are only applying for a license and current licensees. Current licensees have two months to submit documents to PlayCity on compliance with the requirements.

The message emphasises that if the requirements are not met, sanctions in the form of fines or termination of the license may be applied to the organisers of gambling.

“The state will direct additional budget revenues to strengthen defense capabilities, in particular, to purchase drones for the Defense Forces,” PlayCity added.
