Betclic unveils Portuguese online casino
Initial games to be provided by Swedish studio Thunderkick as operator builds on sportsbook launch
Betclic has launched an online casino product to sit alongside its sportsbook in the Portuguese regulated online gambling market.
The France-headquartered brand was awarded a casino licence by Portuguese regulator SRIJ last Friday and went live with the product this week.
The new casino, which has been integrated into the betclic.pt site, currently boasts games from Swedish developer Thunderkick, with plans to add content from more providers soon, including iSoftBet.
“We are very excited about this new challenge in Portugal with the launch of our casino on betlic.pt,” said Isabelle Andrès, CEO of Betclic-Everest Group.
“Thanks to our partner Thunderkick we are now live with their innovative and user experienced focused games.
“Additionally, our offer will grow further soon and be the best one in the market with the addition of slots and games coming from our other partners such as iSoftBet just to name one.
“It allows Betclic to complete the sports offer which is already a great success since Euro 2016 in Portugal and proves once again our ability to be a leader in regulated market environment.”
Betclic was the first operator to go live in the Portuguese regulated market, launching its sportsbook there back in May.
The new offering marks an interesting development in Portugal, where the online casinos are currently fronted by domestic land-based casinos rather than international gaming brands.
