Led by CEO Richard Hogg, the acquisition marks a significant milestone for Openbox Holdings’ OpenBox Gaming subsidiary, making Boldplay’s full roster of innovative content available to operators across the Openbox Gaming platform.

With a vision to establish itself as a leading provider to the global iGaming industry, OpenBox Gaming offers a catalogue of unique and exclusive games built by the industry’s best developers, available to operators across global markets.

The integration of Boldplay’s games into Openbox’s proprietary platform will begin immediately, with new content, updates and enhanced player experiences expected shortly. Hit titles from Boldplay will include the likes of Brute Force, Cam Carter and the Cursed Caves, Cyborg City and Speed Heist.

As part of the acquisition, key members of Boldplay’s development team will also join Openbox Gaming, ensuring continuity in the creativity and innovation that have made Boldplay a renowned studio in the iGaming industry.

Founded in 2019, Boldplay has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the game development space, with its portfolio of partners including tier one operators across Europe, LatAm and the US – such as ApuestaTotal, BetMGM, Grosvenor Casinos and Sportingbet.
