South African players will soon be able to access all their favorite titles from Authentic Gaming via the company’s partnership with Betway.
Betway is Authentic Gaming’s first choice for its foray into the South African market.
Authentic Gaming is a key player in the live casino industry, where it is famous for its premium titles. Their partnership with Betway means that Authentic Gaming titles will debut in South Africa under Betway’s banner.
It was just a few short months ago that Authentic Gaming signaled its intentions to join the burgeoning online casino industry in South Africa. The company’s imminent entry is a testament to its flexible and agile culture, which was identified last June by Jonas Delin, the founder of Authentic Gaming, as its key to success.
Delin said that Authentic Gaming does not copy other successful vendors but rather looks at the market to see what it needs.
According to Delin, the company’s innovative and unique live casino offerings are what differentiates it from its competitors. The company is also famous for making small but significant tweaks to longstanding game types to make it better for players, such as its XL Roulette game.
XL Roulette is simply roulette with multipliers. Originally released by Evolution a few years back, Authentic Gaming’s version boasts of extra Lucky Numbers per spin and a 0.2% bump in RTP.
Betway is known for offering some of the best no deposit bonuses in South Africa.
South African Online Gambling Market “Promising”
Both Authentic Gaming and Betway expressed their joy at finally being able to announce the blockbuster deal.
Magdalena Podhorska-Okolow, the CCO for Authentic Gaming, stated one of the company’s main priorities is to increase its geographical footprint.
The company was most recently in the news for its foray into the Spanish market in September 2021, when Authentic Gaming inked a deal with the famous Gran Via Casino to release an affiliated game, called the Gran Via Madrid Ruleta en Vivo. The game is currently available in the casino’s online component.
After planning its South African operations for months, Podhorska-Okolow said that the company is glad to have partnered with Betway for its entry into the rapidly growing online gambling market of the country.
According to her, Authentic Gaming has singled out South Africa as one of the most promising countries in the region for online gambling services and products.
Authentic Gaming’s chief products are its live casino games, which are staged and livestreamed from their studios. Many of their games are standard Las Vegas-style table games such as roulette and Blackjack, with live croupiers dealing the action. Authentic Gaming also offers auto roulette titles for players who want live-action gameplay at a faster pace.
Betway is an established presence in the South African gambling scene. Via their partnership, Authentic Gaming will have instant access to all of Betway’s customers.
Authentic Gaming, on the other hand, will supply its studio-based live casino games, as well as its several auto-roulette offerings, to Betway.
Betway is expanding its gaming portfolio by adding Authentic Gaming titles, which will be accessible to all Betway customers including those who play via mobile devices.
Some key titles that Authentic Gaming is bringing to the table are 24/7, Viva Vegas, Casino Floor, Nightclub, and Grand. All these titles have well-trained croupiers who orchestrate the action and keep the players coming back.
Cricket Roulette Exclusive for Betway Casinos
A special component of the deal is Betway’s exclusive rights to the game Cricket Roulette. Only Betway has access to this game, which is the first roulette table themed after cricket in the live casino world.
Cricket Roulette’s action takes place with a big screen background showing the latest scores and results from multiple cricket leagues, including the Indian Premier League, in real-time. The IPL is one of the most famous cricket leagues in the region.
According to Betway spokespersons, the exclusive gameplay of Cricket Roulette is expected to be a highly engaging experience for its players, particularly among cricket fans.
Other Authentic Gaming games set to be added to Betway’s portfolio are the Classic, Speed, and VIP variants of their fan-favorite Auto Roulette game.
Phillip Superamonien from Betway affirmed that the South African market is rife with potential. Superamonien added that casino games will experience a huge surge soon, in line with its consistent growth among punters for the last few months.
According to Superamonien, Authentic Gaming is one of Betway’s key partners in the industry. Both companies have dealt with each other for years, with this recent deal being the latest and most significant in their partnership.
