PLAYTECH ONLINE CASINO ACCEPTED BY ALDERNEY JURISDICTION?
Hard Rock Casino change to new online casino software suggests Playtech is
approved by Channel Island licencing authority
Rank group company Hard Rock Online Casino recently changed from
Wagerworks to Playtech software, raising the interesting question
of whether the casino software provider Playtech has passed the stringent software
requirements of the Alderney authorities who license Hard Rock and it's
sister Blue Square.
Asked about this, company spokesman Steven Humphries told Online-Casinos.com
& InfoPowa: "I can confirm that Hard Rock Casino has changed software
provider from WagerWorks to Playtech. This is the only change to Hard Rock Online
Casino and we are still licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gaming Control
Commission."
This would seem to imply that Playtech software has been found acceptable and
compliant by Alderney, and Humphries subsequently confirmed this in answer to
a further question: "You are correct about the implication regarding Playtech
and Alderney. We have had to go through the entire regulation and licensing process
with Alderney again, in order to ensure that the AGCC is comfortable with the
Playtech online casino software."
Steven Humphries says that Blue Square will be remaining on the Wagerworks
platform.
