Pragmatic Play has inked an agreement with World Sports Betting that sees the igaming content provider expand its presence throughout South Africa. 

The deal will include various verticals of Pragmatic’s offerings, including slot titles, live casino and other RGN products.

“South Africa and the wider African market provide an opportunity for additional growth that we are keen to continue exploring,” stated Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play.  

“We are thrilled to be partnering with World Sports Betting and to deliver multiple verticals to their player base through this agreement. We are very excited to see the reception our content receives from players.”

Delving into the slot titles that will become accessible to World Sports Betting users, these will include Striking Hot 5, Happy Hooves and Sweet Bonanza. 

Additionally, live casino titles will be available to World Sports Betting, including classics such as roulette and blackjack, along with Boom City. 

Other RNG products will also be included in the agreement, including Pragmatic Play’s Scratchcards containing Wolf Gold Scratchcard and Queen of Gold Scratchcard games. 

Warren Tannous, Chief Executive Officer at World Sports Betting, added: “World Sports Betting is excited to announce the partnership with Pragmatic Play. Its product is going to be a great addition to our existing offering, and we look forward to being able to roll this out shortly.”

The extension of Pragmatic’s South African standing follows on from the firm’s similar expansion of its Brazil footing earlier this week via the partnership with Aposta Brasil

As part of the deal between the two, Pragmatic took three of its verticals – slots, live casino and virtual sports – live to the Brazilian market. 

Victor Arias, Vice President of Latin American Operations at Pragmatic Play, stated: “Our reputation in the region goes from strength to strength thanks to our rollout with Aposta Brasil and provides yet more Brazilian players with access to our ever-growing library of content. 

“We’re delighted to be maintaining our growth in the region and look forward to elevating more brands with our high-quality, diverse titles.”

A busy start to November also witnessed Pragmatic secure a partnership with NorthStar Gaming to strengthen its North American venture, with slots also integrated into Swiss4Win via a Casinò Lugano collaboration.
