Tipico inks NetEnt supply deal ahead of operator’s US launch
Supplier to provide video slots and tables games to German operator ahead of New Jersey entry in H2 2020
NetEnt has secured a supply agreement with German operator Tipico ahead of its US penetration in New Jersey later this year.
The Stockholm-listed supplier will provide Tipico with a selection of video slots and table games for the sportsbook operator’s initial launch in the Garden State.
Under the remit of the partnership, Tipico will also be afforded access to NetEnt’s marketing tools, including its free spins feature, to help develop its business in the US.
Earlier this month, EGR exclusively revealed privately-owned Tipico would launch its first US-facing venture in New Jersey this year, as well as actively explore further US states to enter.
Brian Kraft, NetEnt Americas VP for commercial, said: “We are happy that Tipico has chosen NetEnt to be one of their first content providers as they begin their US journey. I’m looking forward to having our games in front of players and working with Tipico to grow their business in the US.”
Adrian Vella, Tipico US MD, added: “We are excited to begin our partnership with NetEnt as we kick-off our expansion into the US. With a proven track record in the regulated New Jersey market and their well-known catalogue of branded games, we’re confident that our customers will love NetEnt’s offering.”
Last week, Tipico secured a similar deal with Las Vegas-based supplier Scientific Games to gain access to more than 2,000 casino titles for its US venture.
