Founded in the late 1990s, both Paysafe and Playtech claim to have the expertise and understanding of iGaming regulation across audiences and markets.
The companies are working to develop innovations that will enhance the gaming experience and support the growth of partner businesses.
Playtech COO Shimon Akad said: “Offering our iGaming partners market-leading technologies that deliver the most seamless and engaging experience to their customers is absolutely central to our strategy at Playtech.
“Payments plays an important role in delivering the ultimate player journey and require an experienced team with expert knowledge, which is where Paysafe comes in as the ideal partner for us.”
Paysafe recently expanded its iGaming presence in Canada with the expansion of its services to Ontario.
In February, the firm wrapped up its previously announced takeover of e-commerce payment platform SafetyPay.
