Czech Republic operator Tipsport is now offering players a locally certified games portfolio from leading content developer Yggdrasil.

Tipsport customers gain access to Yggdrasil titles including Luca Maniacs and Valley of the Gods, as well as the hit Vikings trilogy.

The integration marks Yggdrasil’s debut in the Czech market, which introduced a new Gambling Act in 2017, regulating real-money igaming. In 2018, the online gambling market there is estimated to have been worth nearly €500m.

Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil, said: “Going live with Tipsport is another important milestone for us as we continue to implement our growing regulated markets strategy.

“As the country’s largest operator, Tipsport is the perfect partner for us and we are looking forward to working together.”

Jiří Švarc, online casino director at Tipsport, said: “Adding Yggdrasil’s games to our expanding offering is very exciting, and we are confident our customers will enjoy the engaging and immersive content they provide.”

The operator will also be able to use Yggdrasil’s in-game promotional tool Boost, which enhances the player experience via in-game tournaments, prize drops and missions.
