Pragmatic Play has confirmed that it will undergo a vertical reshuffle, closing its sports betting, virtual sports and bingo operations to solely focus on its core segments of iGaming and slots.

The iGaming supplier had been active with its sportsbook platform for the past four years, partnering with the likes of DAZN Bet and supporting its launch across several European markets.

However, a spokesperson for the Gibraltar company has now confirmed that the focus will be shifted to just iGaming and slots verticals since they have continued to be solid drivers of business growth.

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.”

iGaming focus

Pragmatic Play’s online casino partnerships include the likes of bet365, Betsson, Entain, Flutter Entertainment and William Hill.

Live casino has also been a prominent focus for the supplier over the past year, 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 in September last year: “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.”

Regulatory issues

However, Pragmatic Play has also recently come under regulatory scrutiny. 

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.
