Producer History

Cryptologic, along with Microgaming and Playtech, are considered to be one of the oldest online casino software providers in the business. The brand launched their very first online casino, Intercasino, back in 1996, featuring a solid (for the times) selection of Cryptologic slots and table games. The Cryptologic brand was established the previous year in 1995 by brothers Mark and Andrew Rivkin. The brothers had developed a new online financial transaction system in their parent’s basement and needed a way to test it within a real world application.
What started out as a need to test a new online security platform soon became a sought after online casino gaming brand. Cryptologic was originally based in the Rivkin brother’s home town of Toronto, Canada but was eventually moved over to Dublin, Ireland. Cryptologic was one of the first casino software brands to launch a successful online casino, a move which helped to increase their profile within the gambling world quite substantially. William Hill, one of the oldest bookmakers in the world, approached Cryptologic in the early 2000, to power their online casino division, making them the first land-based sportsbook to launch an online casino.
