Talk us through Push Gaming’s commercial journey over recent years, what growing regulated markets have been particularly key?
“Push Gaming’s core focus in recent years has always been towards regulated markets. Europe has obviously been the crux of this approach and building strong relationships with the likes of the MGA and the UKGC has allowed us to flourish in their covered markets, and with more deals to announce in the coming months in the region, there’s plenty more potential to tap into.
The UK has sustained a regular spot in our ‘top ten’ markets in recent years, and we’ve been laser-focused on signing deals with a number of the country’s tier ones. Tied in with our efforts to tailor content to the territory, we have now seen it propel rapidly into our top five performing countries. Our partnerships with the likes of Rank Group, William Hill, and most recently Gamesys, are testament to this, and it’s looking likely to be our top performing market sooner rather than later.
Sweden has also been a major focus for us, and with some of the world’s most discerning players, we’ve certainly enjoyed taking on the challenge! The same goes for Norway, and we’ve seen considerable action there since recently integrating with Norsk Tipping.”
