Play'n GO Cuts Game Supply to All Aggregators

Slot game developer Play'n GO announced that, through letters sent to all major aggregators on October 29, its games will no longer be available on these platforms. The company wants to close the remaining routes through which its games can reach offshore markets. Within this scope, access through MGA-licensed operators is also being targeted. According to sources, the company has told its business partners that it will not tolerate its games being available in black markets.

The decision came after the company withdrew from all of its operations in Asia at the end of September. Sources described this step as part of the company's plan to eliminate its remaining black market obligations.

CCO Magnus Olsson told NEXT.io, "We want to work with parties that serve locally licensed markets and have the right compliance and licensing structure." Olsson said the company continuously reviews traffic and acts when necessary, and that this decision does not represent a change of direction.

Sources offer different estimates of the scale of the impact, but agree that the decision could cost tens of percent of the company's gross gaming revenue (GGR). It was also reported that correspondence with former commercial partners has been tense. On the other hand, the vast majority of layoffs during this period took place months ago, and it is noted that the HR department in particular was affected. The company plans to work only with locally licensed operators from now on. Sources say the company will speak more openly by focusing on external relations and public affairs, and will invest more in its physical slot business alongside its online operations.
