ProgressPlay sets fire to ICE
ProgressPlay has “the technology, solutions and capability to support any market ambition”
Whitelabel and Turnkey Solutions provider ProgressPlay has wowed operators with a new offering of a Licensee Service that is going to revolutionise the online casino and sportsbook industry.
After a decade as a successful and award-winning provider of advanced whitelabel and turnkey solutions for operators, ProgressPlay has launched its Licensee Services at last month’s ICE London 2023.
Operators visiting ProgressPlay’s stand got a peek at the new AI-driven platform that enables existing partners to sharply distinguish their brands and gaming offers and really move their ability to engage across jurisdictions.
The new Licensee service has been designed to deliver to international operators a solid, open, sophisticated, adaptable, and highly scalable platform that is specifically customised for the demands of gambling and delivers these scalable solutions for any channel, any jurisdiction, and any business model.
With a portfolio fast-approaching the 5000 games mark, ProgressPlay were keen to explore new offerings from existing roll-of-honour game providers such as Big Time Gaming, Scientific Games, NetEnt, Microgaming, Playson, Quickspin, Betconstruct and Evolution Gaming along with many others, as well as having the opportunity to explore new content signings that will make an impact later in the year.
ProgressPlay already has a wealth of payment solutions in place and used ICE to engage with existing partners such as Mastercard, VISA, Neteller, Maestro, WebMoney, Giropay, Trustly, Paysafecard, EUteller and PayPal, amongst others, while exploring new innovative solutions that are set to form part of the lineup in the coming months.
ProgressPlay’s new API-based platform embodies a revolutionary new look with an intuitive UI/UX and lightning-fast finger-responsive screen navigation. The company provides UKGC, MGA, and Ireland licenses, more than 5000+ casino games, 140+ different sports, payment processing, VIP management, CRM, customer support, localisation, multicurrency, gamification, flexible bonus system, compliance, risk, affiliate program, player management and more.
ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said: “The entire team put in a major effort for ICE above-and-beyond the call of duty and I was thrilled by the reception we received and that we managed to seal a lot of deals at ICE with the new platform and services. We have now hit the point where we have the technology, solutions and capability to support any market ambition.”
