Degree 53 Software and Platform

As well as custom lobbies, Degree 53 work on native lobbies for use on mobile or tablets devices. These can help their clients use software from third parties while creating a more exciting experience for the player, making use of mobile features such as push notifications and geolocation.

Degree 53 have worked with online casino Betfred to make a collection of new web applications for their existing sites. These contain third party casino games but have custom lobbies, which allow players to navigate easily through the site. This is particularly interesting because Betfred is generally more known for sports betting rather than casino games and so this software has allowed the company to expand its portfolio and offer a new set of games to players, creating a rounded sportsbook and online casino experience.

This software creator is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and licensed to create remote gaming software. Degree 53’s software aims to help gaming companies expand their portfolios, support new types of playing devices and break into the online gaming marketplace with white label solutions. As a requirement of holding a license from the UK Gambling Commission, all software created by Degree 53 adheres to strict rules including high security and responsible use of players’ personal and account information.

Co-founder & Technical Director at Play Cash Games

Matthew Kennedy co-founded Take Marketing Limited in 2008 alongside Becky Mosley and has worked in the UK online gambling industry ever since. He runs the technical side of the operation, building and maintaining the platforms that power Play Cash Games and the wider Take Marketing portfolio.

If you have used a feature on this site, the chances are he built it. He is also responsible for site performance, mobile usability, and the technical SEO that lets a small independent comparison site compete with much larger publishers.

Over 17 years in the industry, Matt has worked directly with affiliate platforms, casino operators, and software providers. He has seen the market move from desktop Flash slots to mobile-first HTML5, lived through every iteration of UK Gambling Commission rules, and built the systems that keep our coverage compliant as regulation evolves. He has a particular interest in responsible gambling tooling and player-fund safety — the parts of the industry most people do not see but that matter most.
