Octoplay Launches in South Africa with Hollywoodbets

Octoplay has gone live in South Africa with Hollywoodbets. This is the company's first market in Africa and its first partnership with one of the country's leading online operators.

With the launch, a one-month exclusivity period has begun. During this period, Octoplay's content will be offered to South African players only through Hollywoodbets.

South Africa has been added to the markets the company has entered over the past year. Octoplay had previously entered regulated markets in Michigan with four tier-one operators, in Spain with PokerStars, and in Alberta with seven tier-one operators. Hollywoodbets, one of the country's most established online brands, became the launch partner.

Octoplay CEO Ralitsa Georgieva said that entering South Africa on an exclusive basis has given its games good exposure. Hollywoodbets Product Director Wayde Dorkin said that Octoplay's regular release schedule means new games are being added to the platform, and that these will first be made available to Hollywoodbets players.

The company is currently authorized to operate in 21 regulated markets. These include the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Finland, Croatia, Georgia, Malta, Brazil, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Alberta and South Africa. Less than four years after publishing its first game, Octoplay has thus reached a fourth continent.
