Under the terms of the five-year agreement, which includes a three-year and two-year option for extensions, SPIELO G2 will deliver its market-leading Player Account Management system to OLG via its Gaming Management System (GMS). GMS provides operators with an unrivalled view of the interactive player, as well as player protection and responsible gambling features, which will support OLG’s commitment to drive growth and innovation through responsible gambling.
In addition to Player Account Management, SPIELO G2 will deliver its award-winning product portfolio, including a suite of table and slots games featuring French Roulette, the iGaming industry’s first HD-quality game.
“SPIELO G2 is pleased to provide a solution that will support and enhance OLG’s modernization plan to become a more innovative and sustainable organization, while continuing to be a North American leader in Responsible Gambling,” said SPIELO International President and CEO Walter Bugno.
“We will ensure that their entry into the online gaming space meets those goals by providing products and services that will delight players, while adhering to the highest standards of responsible gambling and player protection."
SPIELO G2 launched the first and only legal poker network in North America in December 2010, the Canadian Poker Network (CPN), through an agreement with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) and Loto-Québec. In addition, through BCLC’s arrangement with Manitoba Lotteries, players in Manitoba have been able to play in the CPN since January 2013.
"Moving into the internet gaming market is an important milestone for the modernization of OLG," said Rod Phillips, President and CEO of OLG. “We are pleased to offer a safe, secure, regulated and entertaining Internet Gaming option in Ontario where profits will support those things that are important to the people of this province – health care and community infrastructure."
SPIELO G2 provides world-class solutions to lotteries around the world, such as Veikkaus in Finland, Austrian Lotteries, and Svenska Spel in Sweden. Recently, the company announced that it is providing Norsk Tipping with the Norwegian lottery’s first range of iGaming products.
