Enlabs to join Playtech’s iPoker network

Stockholm-listed gaming operator Enlabs has entered into an agreement to migrate its online poker offering to Playtech’s iPoker network.

The new agreement will see Enlabs’ flagship Optibet and Bestpoker brands join the iPoker network this summer, with the operator also set to roll out Playtech’s portfolio of casino and live casino games.

The migration to the iPoker network will see Enlabs terminate its existing agreement with GGNetwork.

“We are always striving to provide our customers with stable and high-quality products,” said Enlabs head of poker Maksims Gorbacs. “With iPoker we can offer a modern poker experience for all kinds of players. We are confident that iPoker’s liquidity and innovative features will allow our customers to enjoy an even better poker experience.”

Enlabs CEO and group president George Ustinov added: “With poker as a product witnessing a rebirth of popularity, we are excited to cooperate with an established partner offering world-leading entertainment.

“iPoker is providing a fair, safe and enjoyable poker experience for both recreational players and more experienced ones. The network brings together strong reputable partners that are all regulated, focusing on safer gambling and player protection. These are the values we share together.”

Shares in Enlabs AB (STO:NLAB) gained 7.76 per cent to SEK16.94 per share in Stockholm Monday morning following the announcement, while shares in Playtech plc (LSE:PTEC) were trading up 4.09 per cent at 223.80 pence in London.
