Turnkey Technology and Infrastructure Agreement Set to Bring a Fresh, Customer-Focused Alternative to British Bettors

iGaming technology and turnkey solutions provider Digitain has announced a strategic partnership with Silkbet to facilitate the operator’s formal launch into the highly competitive and regulated UK market.

Under the terms of the agreement, Silkbet gains comprehensive access to Digitain’s robust ecosystem via a single turnkey setup. This includes the supplier’s advanced sportsbook, horse racing content, virtual sports, casino aggregation, CRM tools, and secure payment solutions, all backed by enterprise-grade infrastructure and 24/7 technical support. As a licensed UKGC technology provider, Digitain brings extensive regulatory experience and technical scalability to help new operators establish a strong foothold.

Executive Commentary on the Partnership

Highlighting the strategic importance of the collaboration within Europe, Dario Jurčić, Chief Commercial Officer for Europe and Africa at Digitain, stated:

“Our continued expansion across Europe is a key part of Digitain’s commercial strategy, and partnerships such as this demonstrate the strength of our approach. Being able to support operators in highly competitive regulated markets such as the UK with proven technology and comprehensive solutions is an important differentiator for us. The partnership with Silkbet is another significant step in our European growth journey, and we look forward to creating long-term value together.”

Alexander Jones, Regional Sales Director for UK and Western Europe at Digitain, added:

“We are delighted to welcome Silkbet as a new partner and to support its ambitions in the UK. The UK is a market where operators demand a high level of technology, product quality, reliability and local expertise, and these are areas where Digitain has continued to strengthen its capabilities. We see this as the beginning of a strong relationship built around trust, collaboration and a shared ambition to deliver an excellent player experience.”

Echoing this enthusiasm, Ed Kelly, Chief Executive Officer at Silkbet, shared his vision for the brand’s market entry:

“We are incredibly proud to partner with Digitain as we take this exciting step into the UK market. While the UK betting industry has evolved significantly over the past decade, we believe something valuable has been lost along the way. The early years of online betting were defined by excitement, personality and a genuine focus on the customer. Our ambition is not to recreate the past, but to bring those qualities into a modern betting experience built for today’s player. Silkbet has been created to offer a fresh alternative, combining the agility and customer focus of a boutique operator with the scale. By pairing Silkbet’s entrepreneurial approach with Digitain’s powerful technology, we’re creating a business that can innovate quickly, listen closely to customers and deliver an experience that stands apart from larger, more corporate operators.”

The partnership marks a significant milestone in Digitain’s ongoing European growth strategy while equipping Silkbet with the advanced technology and operational framework needed to deliver a competitive, player-centric offering in the UK.
