White Hat Gaming enters 14th US State with Maryland launch
Leading iGaming platform provider White Hat Gaming has successfully launched its best-in-class Player Account Management (PAM) solution on day one of Maryland’s newly opened regulated online sports betting market.
Maryland marks the 14th US state where the company’s proprietary technology is now live, ensuring operators including PENN Entertainment’s Barstool Sports can deliver immersive sports betting experiences underpinned by a fully-managed and battle-tested PAM.
The end-to-end solution includes the innovative and award-winning Travelling Wallet
Maryland officially introduced online sports betting from November 23rd and again White Hat Gaming is live on day 1.
White Hat Gaming’s ability to launch its PAM as soon as a state’s new legalized market opens for business demonstrates its agility to operate within highly regulated territories worldwide.
Phil Gelvan, White Hat Gaming CEO, said: “Credit to the entire White Hat Gaming team for taking our PAM solution into yet another regulated US state. The fact our technology is live in 14 states shows we have a product that is capable of engineering quality and safe betting experiences at scale.
“We are proud to have entered Maryland alongside our long-term operator partner PENN Entertainment and its Barstool Sports brand. It’s an exciting period for White Hat Gaming as we continue to enjoy considerable growth and believe Maryland will prove to be another key market of traction for the company.”

Wazdan, the player-centric developer, has further strengthened its notable North American presence by forming a partnership with FanDuel, a top iGaming company in the area.
The deal represents a crucial milestone in Wazdan’s continuous global growth, as FanDuel introduces two feature-packed games at the same time in Ontario and Michigan, enabled by Light & Wonder’s aggregation platform.
In Ontario, gamers can experience Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin and 36 Coins, two games that highlight Wazdan’s distinctive blend of familiar themes and performance-focused mechanics. In Michigan, 12 Bells and Hot Slot: 777 Crown will offer players captivating gameplay designs centered on clarity, rhythm, and extensive features.
After the initial launch, FanDuel’s famous iGaming platform, FanDuel Casino, will have its collection expanded by a wide array of new slot games, each meticulously selected to include various Wazdan features that enhance player engagement like Cash Infinity
, Hold the Jackpot, and Sticky to Infinity, all aimed at increasing entertainment and providing tangible growth for operators.
The newest expansion capitalizes on Wazdan’s progress in North America, succeeding in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and previous entries into West Virginia.
Radka Bacheva, Head of Sales at Wazdan, said: “Partnering with FanDuel represents a major milestone in Wazdan’s North American growth strategy and underlines the strong demand for our engagement-driven portfolio across regulated markets.
“FanDuel’s reach and reputation make them an ideal partner, and launching simultaneously in Ontario and Michigan is a powerful way to introduce our games to new audiences. We are confident that our feature-rich titles and proven mechanics will resonate strongly with players and deliver tangible value for FanDuel as we continue to scale our presence across the region.”

PointsBet Canada confirmed it will request a hearing before the independent Licence Appeal Tribunal to contest the Notice of Proposed Order issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) on February 12, 2026, proposing a five-day suspension of its operator registration.
PointsBet claims that the proposed sanction overemphasized an isolated incident that was a result of human error, not a systemic issue. The company also said that it did not intentionally withhold information from gaming regulators, and it immediately sent the necessary information once it was discovered.
The operator, which launched in Ontario in April 2022, also said that it cooperated fully with the AGCO’s investigation.
“We have a strong compliance record in Ontario and remain fully committed to the highest standards of integrity and player protection. We look forward to presenting our case at the Tribunal,” said Scott Vanderwel, PointsBet Canada Chief Executive Officer.
