Playtech Investors See Rewards

2013 was a good year for leading online gaming software developer, Playtech, and a good year for its investors as well. In fact, it was such a good year that Playtech has just announced that the company will pay shareholders an additional dividend of €122 million euro. For individuals, that comes out to about 34.1 pence per share.

For some investors, this can amount to a pretty penny in cash. And even for those that it doesn't, the idea that Playtech rewards its investors is one that is not likely to be forgotten, and will only serve to boost their popularity in the future.

Increased Profits

Playtech reported a whopping 26% increase in net profit, not including profits from their William Hill Online venture. The dramatic increase in profits can be attributed to a number of things, including Playtech's 2013 agreement with Ladbrokes and the launch of their live mobile casino and poker products for a number of European clients. Playtech also acquired the sports betting brands launched on the  Geneity platform in 2012, which also boosted profits. 

Playtech spokesperson said that Playtech's software "delivered an outstanding performance in 2013," with an increase in profits from €151 million in 2012 to €189 million in 2013.
