Portomaso Gaming

Portomaso is one of those companies that has had to start from scratch, without a recognised name or brand behind it, and fight for success in the hugely competitive world of online casino sites.

In order to stand out from the pack, Portomaso needed to enter the market with a clear plan, and that is what they did.

Providing a full-scale software platform that offers front-end and back-end functionality as well as excellent casino games, Portomaso have dedicated themselves to their ambition of being a one-stop shop for all the online casino needs of their clients.

Mid-Level and Rising

With the levels of competition in the iGaming world being as high as they are, stepping out of the bottom tier and into a position to compete with mid-level software developers is hard enough, but Portomaso have managed to make this transition in less than ten years, which is quite impressive in itself.

Licensed and regulated by both the Malta Gaming Commission (MGA) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) Portomaso has developed a strong reputation. Their front-end component brings land-based casinos to life in your browser, which helps the live dealer games focus of the company.

Games

Portomaso have released a few video slots, including the entertaining Sherlock Holmes themed Baker Street Adventures, and the unique and fun careless Zombies, but most of their focus is on live casino titles including Baccarat, Blackjack, and Roulette.

These titles are streamed directly from the casino at Portomaso itself, and the quality and ease of use of these games, for client and player, has seen Portomaso live dealer games be used at various online casinos around the internet.

Portomaso has become well-known for its live dealer games, and since spreading out a little with their playful video slots, the developer is becoming a favourite for many.

Matthew Kennedy
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.

Matt's role is hands-on. He writes the code behind the offer feeds, the comparison tools readers use, and the back-office systems that keep every casino listing accurate and current. 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.

Matt is a Companies House registered director (Take Marketing Limited, company no. 07619813) and is based in Lincolnshire, England.
