In a move that significantly reinforces its presence within the European iGaming landscape, Octoplay has officially made its debut in the regulated market of Spain.

This landmark entry is facilitated through an extension of the supplier’s long-standing international partnership with PokerStars, one of the most recognizable and influential online gaming brands globally. The launch introduces Octoplay’s specialized portfolio of high-engagement slot games to Spanish players for the very first time.

Strengthening a Proven Global Synergy

The expansion into Spain is a natural progression of the successful commercial relationship between Octoplay and PokerStars, which is already flourishing in other key regulated territories including the United Kingdom, Italy, and Ontario. By leveraging PokerStars’ massive domestic market share and Octoplay’s reputation for premium, certified content, the two companies aim to set a new standard for player entertainment in the region.

Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO of Octoplay, highlighted the strategic weight of this latest rollout:

“Our launch in Spain with PokerStars is a pivotal moment in our European expansion strategy. Having already established a strong synergy with PokerStars in the UK, Italy and Ontario, we are confident that our premium games will resonate strongly with Spanish players. This market entry underscores our commitment to rapid growth and the strengthening of our partnerships with the industry’s leading operators”.

A Dominant Trajectory in 2026

This Spanish rollout comes on the heels of several major industrial triumphs for Octoplay. In the United States, the company recently achieved its most ambitious launch to date in Michigan, going live with four tier-one operators simultaneously.

These aggressive expansion efforts are backed by world-class performance data, Octoplay recently secured the #1 position for new suppliers in the Eilers & Krejcik Gaming US index.

With active licenses now held in over 15 global jurisdictions, including the Netherlands, Brazil, and Romania, Octoplay continues to position itself as the primary partner for operators seeking innovative, licensed content.
