BetConstruct, the powerful international supplier of software, technology, and live dealer games for online casinos, has announced that its global footprint is bound to further expand after having secured a German license for its virtual slot machine games.

The respective license was obtained from the GGL, the German iGaming regulator, and it gives BetConstruct the opportunity to offer its virtual online slot machines to companies that operate online casinos in this market.

This news affects both slot game providers, operators and ultimately German players as they will receive access to a wider range of slot games, including new content from BetConstruct.

Hermine Gevorgyan, Head of the Licensing and Certification Department at BetConstruct, revealed that the company is “thrilled” to have secured the German virtual slot license and described it as “a remarkable achievement.” The BetConstruct executive also added that the German license represents “the culmination of a challenging and rewarding journey” for the company’s licensing team.

Gor Mnatsakanyan, Regional Director for Germany at BetConstruct, admitted that “securing the German slot license was undeniably a challenging journey” but the difficulty of obtaining it makes it an even prouder moment for the company as it represents a “significant achievement.”

The Regional Director added that BetConstruct is now “poised to introduce a new niche to the market” in Germany and to set “higher standards” for the whole industry thanks to the “innovative and award-winning products” offered by the supplier.

An Experienced Company

BetConstruct was founded in 2005 in London and since then it has grown into a global powerhouse, employing around 800 people in several offices located in the United Kingdom, Armenia, Ukraine, Latvia, Malta, Latin America, France, Germany, Austria, Peru, Mexico, China, South Africa, and the United States of America.

The company has developed its offering in various sectors of the gaming world, offering online and retail sportsbook services, classic and virtual casino games, poker and skill games, along with live casino games.

The company currently holds several licenses in key jurisdictions from all around the world, including approval from the United Kingdom Gambling Commission, the Romanian National Gambling Office, the Malta Gaming Authority, ARJEL (the French Regulator), the National Gambling Board in South Africa, the Government of Curacao and Spelinspektionen (the Swedish Gambling Authority).

The provider of world-class slot and table games popular in Western and Asian markets, Habanero, has expanded its presence on the Old Continent. 

The company with a portfolio that spans no less than 22 worldwide markets thanks to a plethora of agreements inked with big operators like Betway, Entain, Sportium, and Sisal has been granted a new business-to-business license from the Swedish Gambling Authority. 

Habanero, Authorized to Offer Its Entire Portfolio to Domestic Operators

According to the new license, Habanero is now allowed to provide its entire catalog of more than 150 HTML games including slots, video poker, and table games to operators in the area. 

The list includes successful slots like Santa’s Village, Hot Hot Fruit, and Mystic Fortune Deluxe.

Commenting on the fresh Swedish license, Habanero’s head of business development, Arcangelo Lonoce, explained that the fact that they have been awarded a Swedish license was “both gratifying and exciting,” helping their plans to scale up their operations in the respective market. 

The fresh Swedish license will also assist Habanero with its goal to sign new partnerships with fresh stakeholders in an attempt to introduce its universe of games to a larger number of players.

Lonoce called the new license “a testament to our dedication to our adaptability as well as our commitment” to explore and comply with new global regulatory landscapes.

Perfect Fit for the Swedish Market

Reevo’s head of sales, Petra Maria Poola, also commented on Habanero’s “diverse, boundary-breaking games” and their admirable fast expansion while commenting on the company’s ability to align with the continuous regulatory efforts in Sweden. 

Poola also mentioned the recent Swedish Gambling Authority’s five-year license extension granted to Videoslots, which came in spite of the penalty that was imposed on the same operator because of a series of problems related to anti-money laundering compliance.

In mid-October, Habanero launched Slime Party, a fresh slot with multipliers and free spins. The developer also obtained an MGA license and a series of approvals in a number of global regions, including Romania, Panama, and Buenos Aires.

In June, the company was granted the prestigious ISO-27001 Certification that allows it to deploy more products and get licensure in individual European markets. 

Habanero’s games work seamlessly across all types of devices and can be played in landscape and portrait modes on mobile. Players can also enjoy several games simultaneously, configure their jackpots, set up their preferred bets per game, and wait for new titles to be released every month.

Hacksaw Gaming, the growing international supplier of games for online casinos, has announced that its presence on the United States market will further expand after having secured a provisional license in New Jersey.

The license was issued by the Division of Gaming Enforcement in New Jersey and it allows Hacksaw Gaming to supply its content to online casinos that operate in the American state. With the license secured, Hacksaw Gaming can now form partnerships with approved operators in New Jersey.

The supplier announced that its intention is to launch its games in the state of New Jersey by the end of 2023. Moreover, Hacksaw Gaming revealed that it will be working together with Light & Wonder, the global gaming giant, to support the roll-out of its content in the state. The two companies signed an agreement to that respect in 2021, when Light & Wonder was operating under the old brand, Scientific Games.

Unstoppable In Its Ventures

Marcus Cordes, the Chief Executive Officer of Hacksaw Gaming, declared himself “ecstatic” at the rate at which the company has been expanding recently. “Hacksaw is unstoppable in its ventures,” the Chief Executive Officer proclaimed while also stating that Hacksaw Gaming will undoubtedly “thrive in the U.S.”

The provisional license obtained in New Jersey comes almost a year after Hacksaw gaming first entered the United States with another provisional license, obtained in the state of West Virginia in November 2022. That was the first step in the company’s strategy to expand more and more on the United States market.

The first move into North America for Hacksaw Gaming came earlier in 2022, in May the company secured a supplier license in Ontario, the only Canadian province that has a regulated competitive online gambling market.

The supplier has also expanded in other parts of the world in recent months after having secured a license in the Isle of Man. With the New Jersey license obtained, Hacksaw Gaming now has secured a presence in almost 20 regulated markets all around the world.

Hacksaw Gaming was founded at the end of 2018 in Malta and since then it has grown into a truly global presence. The main focus of its slot games has been on mobile devices, but their creative games can be played very well on desktop stations as well.

The leading international business-to-customer sports betting operator and North American business-to-business provider of real money internet gaming solutions, GAN, announced it achieved a major milestone in Nevada. The company revealed Friday that it secured regulatory approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission, the state governmental agency in charge of regulating gambling activities together with the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

The latest achievement represents a milestone moment for GAN as it enables the company to start a field trial for its GAN Sports betting platform. As a result, the company can conduct trials of its betting platform for customers in Nevada.

Still, to launch its innovative technology in the state, the company requires an additional certification. According to a statement released by GAN, its sports betting platform GAN Sports is prepared with the necessary infrastructure required for its deployment into the regulated gambling market in Nevada. This infrastructure encompasses retail sports betting, as well as mobile applications, the company revealed.

The latest announcement comes after GAN secured a conditional Nevada license earlier this month. The aforementioned license enabled the company to replace the sports betting platform for Red Rock Resorts’ sportsbooks located in Southern Nevada.

The Company Looks Forward to Launching GAN Sports

Seamus McGill, GAN’s chairman and interim CEO, shared his excitement about the latest regulatory approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission. He said that the company is thrilled about this achievement. Moreover, McGill pointed out that GAN anticipates introducing GAN Sports, its innovative sports product, to customers in Nevada soon.

The company’s chairman and interim CEO added: “The Las Vegas Locals market is one of the largest and most recognizable gaming markets in the world, and we are incredibly excited to be entering it.” Finally, McGill explained that Nevada marks the third US state where GAN Sports will launch and predicted that the solution would bring unrivaled experiences to the market.

“We are very pleased and humbled to have received regulatory approval from the State of Nevada to hold a gaming license. We are excited that we will be launching our leading-edge GAN Sports product in Nevada in the next few months.“

Late last month, McGill was appointed to the role of interim CEO. At the time, GAN confirmed that it accepted the resignation of its then-CEO, Dermot Smurfit. With Smurfit stepping down from his role, McGill filled in the interim CEO position. It is likely that GAN has already initiated a search for a permanent CEO to fill the role.

Habanero is a company known for a string of successful games, with the company developing more than 140 slot games, as well as the supporting infrastructure. This accreditation will allow the company to pursue new market opportunities and meet regulatory standards in tightly-regulated markets.

Habanero Set for Further Growth in Europe Thanks to License

Habanero also develops original marketing tools that aid partner operators to elicit a strong response from the supplier’s original games, and the company also develops a trademarked jackpot system. Company head of business development Arcangelo Lonoce was similarly excited about the opportunity:

Adding a further layer of protection to our products, the ISO-27001 certificate marks an important milestone for all leading providers in terms of IT governance, security protection and brand reputation.

Habanero Arcangelo Lonoce

Habanero will benefit from the licensure as it will allow it to pursue entry into specific markets that have higher technical regulatory standards. Greece and Switzerland are two places where ISO-27001 is mandatory before a supplier may join in, but Habanero will certainly be leveraging its new accreditation beyond those individual jurisdictions as well.

Lonoce added that the company is always striving to provide an experience that aligns with regulatory prerequisites and expectations. Presently, Habanero has been on a tear, having secured partnerships with leading European operators, including Snaitech, Betway and Betsson.

The company also obtained another important license – from the Malta Gaming Authority and it is committed to continuing to expand and grow its footprint. In the meantime, Habanero has released a number of outstanding games, including Naughty Wukong, Rainbow Mania, and Taiko Beats.
