Gamanza partners with Casino Locarno to power its online operation launch

Swiss iGaming technology provider Gamanza Group has partnered with Casino Locarno to power its online casino brand Casineo, marking its full entry into Switzerland’s licensed online market.

Casineo, which launched in March 2026, operates on Gamanza’s full player account management (PAM) system, a modular platform designed for regulated markets that integrates compliance tools, responsible gaming features, payment processing, data management, and front-end delivery across web and mobile applications.

“Casineo is exactly the kind of operator we built our platform for - an ambitious new brand entering the online casino space in one of Europe’s most demanding regulatory markets,” said Tero Vienonen, Managing Director of Gamanza Group.

“Switzerland sets an exceptionally high bar for compliance and operational precision, and our technology is designed to meet that standard from day one. We're proud to support Casineo in launching with a seamless and fully compliant player experience,” he added.

The partnership underscores growing demand in Switzerland for compliance-focused technology as operators expand into digital channels under strict regulatory oversight. Gamanza already supports several operators in the country, positioning itself as a provider of technology tailored to highly regulated environments.

Casineo is the online brand of Stadtcasino Baden AG, the entity behind Casinò Locarno. The launch represents the group’s first move into online gaming under its existing land-based licence.

Michael Boyschau, Director, Casineo, said: “Switzerland is one of the most demanding markets in which to launch an online operation. Gamanza gave us the platform foundations and the regulatory confidence to do it properly, and the partnership throughout the process has been exactly what we needed.” 

As part of the rollout, Casineo is also using Gamanza Engage, the company’s customer relationship management and platform, aimed at enabling personalised player engagement within regulatory limits.

Simon Pukl, Director of Product and Business Development at Gamanza Core, added: "Switzerland's regulatory landscape sets one of the highest standards for online operators, and we're proud to support Casinò Locarno with a platform built specifically for such environments.

"Our proprietary PAM solution seamlessly brings together compliance, responsible gaming, payments, and front-end delivery in one flexible platform, enabling Casineo to operate a scalable online business. We're pleased to support Casineo's brand and product vision and look forward to a long-term partnership."

Nathalie Haspel, Head of Online Gaming at Casineo, said the platform’s CRM and gamification tools would support compliant and personalised player engagement.

"Building genuine player relationships in a regulated market requires more than promotions. Gamanza Engage gives us the CRM and gamification tools to create personalised, compliant experiences that keep players engaged for the right reasons," she said.
