Flutter brands Betfair, Paddy Power partner with Evolution Gaming

Highlights:

Evolution Gaming have pulled off a massive coupe, signing a live casino supply deal with Flutter brands Betfair and Paddy Power.

Betfair and Paddy Power were both early adopters of the live games niche, enthusiastically expanded their lives games offering over the last decade. But this expansion has always been in partnership with incumbent live games supplier Playtech.

Under the deal, both brands will soon be offering their punters Evolution Gaming’s full range of live casino games, including the recently launched suit of live game shows. There was no mention in the release on when the Evolution games would be made available.

It remains to be seen whether the Flutter brands will maintain their live casino relationship with Playtech and run a dual platform offering (ala William Hill), or if Evolution will eventually become their exclusive provider.

The news comes shortly after the announcement of Flutter’s mega merger with Stars Group. Stars Group brands Pokerstars and FullTilt already have Evolution Gaming provide their live games.
