Many people in the iGaming industry think Platipus sprang onto the scene out of nowhere back in 2014. But the rapid emergence of the casino game development studio, with its bold statement of “always aiming for perfection”, can be attributed to its three experienced founders.

The trio honed their expertise in the industry through online casino development and distribution for more than a decade before deciding to concentrate their efforts on the social gaming arena. This led to the establishment of Platipus Gaming SA in Panama sometime during 2011. In December of the same year, Platipus launched the Miracle Slots & Casino app on Facebook. That might have been the company’s very first app, but it remains incredibly popular among hundreds of thousands of players to this day.

Three Dutch investors then came on board in February 2014, which led to the company becoming re-established as Platipus Ltd on the Isle of Man. This move saw Martijn Peters, who previously represented Totalgame as general manager, become CEO of Platipus. The restructuring of the company marked the beginning of its transition from social to real money online slots, a decision that was ultimately announced in November 2015. Previous roles held by the company’s 40+ highly skilled employees in this area played an integral part in the decision-making process, and the team haven’t looked back since.
