How BET Software Enters New Markets And Stays Compliant With Playroll

BET Software has its roots in South Africa, where they’re focused on building innovative gaming software to meet increasing demand worldwide. However, the local talent pool of developers has become too saturated to keep up with the team’s demand for new talent.

With ambitious goals to expand their global footprint, the team faced a twofold challenge as they set about scaling their international team:

Alternatively, they could have transitioned their existing team members to independent contractors. This would have resulted in the loss of competitive benefits, required employees to provide their own equipment, and placed the burden of tax compliance on the contractors.

Overall, this presented too much risk to BET Software’s relationship with the workers they wanted to retain.

With Playroll’s help, the team was able to retain their team members in Kenya with no hiccups in the process of transferring them to Playroll’s legal entity.

“I can give a huge thumbs up to the consistent level of support I’ve received from the Playroll team. I can count on one hand the number of times where I’ve waited more than 5 minutes for a response on any questions I’ve had,” says Gizelle.

In addition, they’ve been able to further grow their Kenyan team, bringing three new team members on board since starting to use Playroll’s EOR services. 

“Playroll's platform facilitated a seamless recruitment across borders, allowing us to access a diverse talent pool and onboard employees quickly and compliantly, regardless of location.”
