Michael Moskowitz, CEO and a Founding Partner of NorthStar Gaming, said: “Playtech’s unparalleled expertise in the gaming industry will help NorthStar accelerate our growth and rapidly expand our user base. With the additional investment, we look forward to expanding our market share across Ontario, further enhancing our premium, content-driven experience for consumers.”

In recent news, Playtech adjusted its expected EBITDA for 2022 to reflect its ‘strong’ performances.

The supplier’s unaudited adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 is expected to be at least €400m, according to Playtech.

Were this to be the case, Playtech’s adjusted EBITDA for 2022 would represent a 26% increase on the full-year 2021.

Playtech added that the driving force for this improved financial outlook has been the success of its B2B and Snaitech businesses.
