Online poker site Betsafe is the latest gambling operator to sign with Toronto-based software firm CryptoLogic. The three year deal will supply Betsafe with an online poker package that will be marketed to online casino fans through its subsidiary Waterlogic.

According to Betsafe’s chief executive Andre Lavoid, CryptoLogic was the firm’s first choice in software provider following its decision to branch out into the lucrative poker market. “When we decided to expand our poker room, we knew we wanted a trusted software provider with a reputation for liquidity, stability, quality and integrity,” Lavoid said. “CryptoLogic’s suite of innovative, exclusive games will bring new excitement to our poker players across Europe and beyond.”

In joining the CryptoLogic network, Betsafe joins established poker providers William Hill Poker.com, Pokerplex.com and Littlewoods Poker.com, with the much-awaited Playboy Poker scheduled for launch in the coming months.

Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic’s president and chief executive officer, welcomed Betsafe to the network, saying “Betsafe’s established, rapidly growing player base and reputation for safe, secure gaming fit perfectly with CryptoLogic’s focus on the world’s blue-chip gaming brands. Thanks to a five-year focus on international markets, CryptoLogic’s software now powers the world’s largest shared poker network that excludes U.S. players. Our size advantage, plus our adherence to strict regulatory standards, will give Betsafe – and its players – a profitable, safe home online.”
