Pragmatic Play has stated that it will solely focus on its core segments of iGaming and slots following the closure of its sports betting, virtual sports and bingo operations.
A spokesperson has confirmed that the focus for the Gibraltar company will be shifted to just iGaming and slots verticals since they have continued to be solid drivers of business growth.
For the past four years, the iGaming supplier has been active with its sportsbook platform, partnering with the likes of DAZN Bet and supporting its launch across several European markets.
Pragmatic Play’s spokesperson stated: “Following a strategic review, the decision has been made to focus on our core market-leading verticals – in particular, slots, live casino, crash and RNG.
“These areas continue to demonstrate strong performance and represent the company’s primary long-term strategic focus.
“As a result, Pragmatic Play will no longer offer bingo and sportsbook products (including virtual sports). We are working closely with partners to support their smooth transition to alternative platforms.”
Game show experience
Pragmatic Play has good reason to focus on online casino, as its partnerships in the vertical include the likes of bet365, Betsson, Entain, Flutter Entertainment and William Hill.
The supplier also doubled down on its live casino offerings last September, with the addition of Money Time, a 54-segment wheel where players can hit multipliers of up to x10 or trigger one of four bonus games.
The four bonus games on offer for players are cash roll, coin rush, bank heist and money time, each of which offers the chance to win enhanced prizes ranging from x5,000 to x40,000.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said when the title was released: “Money Time delivers a thrilling, content-rich game show experience loaded with dynamic features and the potential to win up to a whopping 40,000x.
“Set in a stunning, purpose-built studio and brought to life by captivating hosts, it showcases live casino entertainment at its very best.”
Under regulatory microscope
However, regulators have also thrown scrutiny in the direction of Pragmatic Play.
Arrise Solutions, trading as Pragmatic Play, was handed a monetary penalty of CAD$40,000 by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) last month after an investigation discovered its titles on unregulated gambling websites accessible to Ontario players.
The AGCO noted that the company cooperated fully with the investigation and took prompt action to restrict access to its games on unregulated sites by players in the Canadian province.
Arrise Solutions received its Ontario licence in October 2025 and it is set to expire in November 2027.
