A lot of online gambling industry operators left the US online gambling market when the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in 2006. However, as the online gambling legal climate seems to be getting milder, a lot of companies are preparing to come back to the US market really soon.

One of those companies is Playtech, which recently signed a major deal with NASDAQ listed Scientific Games Corporation and made an official announcement of the plans to re-enter the US market when it becomes regulated.

Playtech is considered to be one of the leading software provider companies in the online gambling world. Scientific Games has been working for over four decades on providing turnkey solutions to government sponsored gaming operators in regulated and soon to be regulated markets. This is a huge, meaningful agreement for both companies and it will help make the re-entering process successful for Playtech-powered gambling sites.

“This is an important step for both companies. We have highly complementary skill-sets allied with a global reach and this partnership provides the opportunity to leverage off this combined know-how to maximum effect.” said Mor Weizer, Chief Executive Officer of Playtech and Mike Chambrello, Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Games in a joint statement.
