Company comments
"We launched our first game in the UK, so this market sets the standard for everything we build," said Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO at Octoplay.
Daniel Pascoe, Senior Casino Manager at MrQ, added:
"We’re picky about what goes in our lobby. Every game has to earn its place with our players, not just fill a slot. Octoplay have done exactly that. Their games are sharp, built with UK players in mind, and since going live they’ve become a genuine part of the MrQ mix."
