Playtech licensees operating under Spanish regulation include a combination of
existing licensees as well as local gaming and media companies aiming to leverage their
market leading position and well recognized brands that appeal to local players.



Playtech casino was ready for the Spanish market prior to the issue of online gaming
licenses by the Spanish government on 1st June ensuring Playtech licensees were among
first to launch in Spain. Licensees including Bet365 casino, Bet 365 poker, William Hill
casino and Poker 770 have already begun welcoming players to their fully customised
Playtech casino and poker rooms.



Further licensees are due to launch Spanish-specific casino and poker rooms in the
coming weeks.



The Playtech casino offering includes a unique, Spanish-specific live casino option,
provided from a local licensed land-based casino located within Spain.



A range of additional Playtech products will soon be launched in Spain, including TV
games and bingo. Casino games, Poker, Bingo, TV and Live Casino games will also be
available on mobile phones and tablets.



Playtech's industry-leading casino has been adapted to ensure it fully complies with
Spanish regulation, with all permitted blackjack and roulette games available as well as a
range of exciting complimentary games. The poker rooms are part of Playtech's new poker
network, iPokerSpain.es, the first multiple-licensee poker network to launch under Spanish
regulation.



Mor Weizer, Playtech's Chief Executive commented: "We are excited to see our licensees
launch in Spain. The Spanish market is important to Playtech and a benchmark within the
European regulated environment. We are confident that our innovative and fully-compliant
casino and poker products will set the standard for others to follow in Spain."
