Evoplay enters Austrian market via win2day partnership
The deal gives Evoplay access to one of Europe’s most tightly controlled online gambling markets, where win2day holds the only state-issued licence for online gaming.
Austria’s single-operator online gambling model makes it one of the most structurally distinct regulated markets in Europe, with win2day the sole legal gateway for any B2B supplier seeking domestic reach. Evoplay has now secured that access, announcing a content partnership with win2day on 14 July 2026.
A singular route to market
Evoplay has gone live on win2day, the only platform through which online casino content can be legally offered to Austrian players. Unlike most European markets where multiple licensed operators compete, Austria’s regulatory framework designates a single entity, win2day, operated by Austrian Lotteries, as the exclusive provider of licensed online gambling in the country. For any content studio seeking a presence in Austria, this partnership is not one option among many; it is the only route available.
The initial rollout includes a selection of Evoplay’s catalogue, with titles such as The Greatest Catch and Hot Triple Sevens among those now available to Austrian players for the first time.
Regulatory fit as the threshold condition
Austria’s online gambling regime is among the most restrictive in the European Union. Win2day operates under the direct oversight of the Austrian state and adheres to strict player protection and responsible gambling requirements that set a high compliance bar for any incoming supplier. The structure means that onboarding a new content partner requires a more deliberate vetting process than is typical in multi-licence markets such as Malta or the United Kingdom.
Georg Wawer, Managing Director of Austrian Lotteries and win2day, said:
‘As Austria’s sole licensed online gaming operator, maintaining the highest standards of quality, security and player protection is at the core of everything we do. Their strong track record of delivering engaging, high-quality content for regulated markets makes them an excellent fit for our offering.’
Alex Malchenko, Head of Sales at Evoplay, added: ‘Austria is a highly regulated market, and win2day’s strong reputation makes it the perfect partner to integrate our games with. Titles like The Greatest Catch and Hot Triple Sevens have proven appeal with players across multiple markets already, and we’re confident they will resonate just as strongly with Austrian players.’
European expansion and regulated-market strategy
The win2day deal is consistent with a broader strategic pattern among mid-tier and growth-stage iGaming studios, which have increasingly prioritised entry into state-controlled or tightly licensed European markets as a signal of compliance maturity to other tier-one operators. Securing a position on a state-designated platform carries implicit regulatory endorsement that can support subsequent commercial conversations in other jurisdictions.
For Evoplay, which holds a portfolio of more than 250 slots, table, crash, and instant games, the Austrian launch extends a European distribution push that has included regulated market entries across the continent in recent years. The studio’s emphasis on instant and crash game formats, genres that have gained traction with younger player demographics in regulated settings, positions it as a supplier with a differentiated catalogue relative to more traditional slots-focused peers.
