Additional Information

About our Office


We're proud of our awesome new central London hub in Holborn, just minutes from Oxford Street and the famous West End.

Of course, as of most of other tech companies we went full remote during the pandemic and it worked out unexpectedly well, thanks to all of our amazing colleagues and especially IT.

At the same time, it'll be great to see each other in person again when the world is back to normal.

In part because our office is a really great place


It houses more than 300 employees, bringing all the Playtech London teams together under one roof for the first time.

We offer a stimulating work environment in a state-of-the-art, purpose-designed space, including a brand new communal area, with games including pool, table football, table tennis and video games.


Our regular benefits include free cereal, fruit, tea, coffee and soft drinks, plus regular Friday drinks, Summer and Christmas parties and lots of other social events.

Playtech also offers various other benefits after passing probation. When you join Playtech, you join a global family

  • Playtech is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome all applicants. Unless otherwise instructed, we will retain your details on file for 6 months in accordance with the data protection act._
