Swintt solidifies European presence with major Betsson deal
Rapidly-expanding software provider teams up with Scandinavian betting giant to distribute its state-of-the-art casino titles in Sweden, Malta, Germany, Latvia and more
Having already experienced phenomenal growth since the start of 2023, sought-after-software provider, Swintt, has announced it has put pen to paper on a major new deal with igaming heavyweights, Betsson Group, that will see its titles distributed in a number of key European markets.
Under the terms of the new partnership, both SwinttGames and SwinttPremium releases will now be hosted at Betsson Group-powered online casinos in Sweden, Malta, Germany and Latvia, as well as a number of titles created by boutique third-party software providers via the innovative SwinttStudios platform.
Though the scope of the deal will already enable Swintt to secure significant expansion across much of the continent, the two companies have also revealed that further launches will follow in Lithuania and Italy, making it one of the provider’s largest collaborations to date.
The news means that Betsson players in all of the aforementioned markets will soon be able to enjoy a host of state-of-the-art SwinttGames, including the studio’s most successful release to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM, the popular Book of Shai and the innovative upcoming release, Electric Elements.
Fans of classic online slots will also be well catered for courtesy of the brand’s Premium line-up, which is characterised by its straightforward gameplay mechanics and easy-to-trigger bonus features. While a number of these games will be rolled out in due course, Swintt fans will be particularly excited to try the forthcoming Duolitos Garden, which boasts an exciting respins game with four fixed jackpots.
The addition of SwinttStudios releases at Betsson platforms, meanwhile, will enable a number of partner studios to showcase their software to a wide new audience. These include the Gacha game-inspired Treasure Capsule: Thor’s Strike from Samurai Studio and recently-released Stacking Bison by Fine Edge Gaming, both of which have become flagship titles for the ambitious collaborative venture.
With all this and more to come at Betsson casinos over the coming months, both parties have high hopes for a hugely successful partnership over the coming months, with Swintt being able to further expand its presence in the global regulated markets while Betsson cements its position as a true market leader.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Over the past few months, Swintt has been involved in a number of partnerships with high-profile online casinos, but our new agreement with Betsson might be one of the biggest ones as we continue to expand brand throughout Europe and beyond.
“By working closely with Betsson, we’ll be able to ensure customers in a number of important markets get to experience the huge variety of titles that we have available from our SwinttGames and SwinttPremium line-ups, as well as exciting third-party games courtesy of the SwinttStudios platform.”
Sarah Micallef, Head of Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, said: “From its fairly humble beginnings some 60 years ago, Betsson has established itself as one of the premier online gaming operators in Scandinavia and most of Europe – and a key component of this has been ensuring we partner with only the very best software providers.
“Over the past few years, Swintt has proved through its innovative range of releases that its certainly worthy of being considered up there with the industry’s top studios and we’re very much looking forward to making their games available to our customers in a wide number of markets this year.”
