Hollywoodbets is the game supplier's launch partner in the country, with exclusive access to its content for one month.
Game supplier Octoplay has entered South Africa through a partnership with online operator Hollywoodbets, which will have exclusive access to its content in the country for one month.
Hollywoodbets is Octoplay's launch partner in the market, The Gamblest reported. The agreement gives the operator the first opportunity to offer the supplier's games to South African players.
Octoplay CEO Ralitsa Georgieva said South Africa was the latest in a series of market entries for the company this year. She added that further entries were underway, without identifying the markets.
Hollywoodbets Head of Product Wayde Dorkin said Octoplay's release schedule would add content to the operator's online offering. Dorkin said the supplier's games would initially be available exclusively on the Hollywoodbets platform.
Octoplay has also entered Michigan, Spain and Alberta recently, according to The Gamblest. In Michigan, the supplier has worked with four tier-1 operators concurrently, while seven tier-1 operators were onboarded at once in Alberta. PokerStars is active with Octoplay in Spain.
The supplier is approved to operate in 21 regulated markets, including the UK, Italy, Brazil, New Jersey, Ontario and South Africa. Its entry into South Africa brings its operations to a fourth continent in under four years since its first game went live.
