Octoplay has entered its first African market through an exclusive launch with Hollywoodbets. The operator will have exclusive access to Octoplay’s games in South Africa for one month. South African players can now access Octoplay’s games through the Hollywoodbets platform. Hollywoodbets is the supplier’s first launch partner in Africa.

Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO of Octoplay, said:

“Entering South Africa with a month of exclusivity through Hollywoodbets gives our games a proper introduction to players in a market we are new to. South Africa is the latest in a long run of market openings for us this year, and the next ones are already underway.”

The launch takes Octoplay to its fourth continent, less than four years after its first game went live. The South African launch follows Octoplay’s entries into Michigan, Spain and Alberta over the past year. The company went live with four operators in Michigan, partnered with PokerStars in Spain, and launched with seven operators in Alberta on the first day of the regulated market.

Wayde Dorkin, Head of Product at Hollywoodbets, said:

“Hollywoodbets continues to bring new and fresh games to its players as its online offering grows. Octoplay’s regular release schedule adds exciting new content, so we’re thrilled to give our players the first opportunity to experience its games, which will be available exclusively on the Hollywoodbets platform.”

Octoplay says it is approved to operate in 21 regulated markets: the UK, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Finland, Croatia, Georgia, Malta, Brazil, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Alberta and South Africa.
