EGT Digital is proud to announce that it is licensed to operate in Gibraltar. The company has obtained authorization from the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority, allowing it to provide all its core products – the X-Nave platform, the Gaming Aggregator, and the casino games, within the British Overseas Territory.
Securing the Gibraltar license marks a significant strategic milestone for EGT Digital, granting access to one of the most respected and tightly regulated jurisdictions in the global iGaming industry. This achievement reinforces the company’s commitment to compliance and operational excellence, while also enhancing its credibility and competitiveness in key regulated markets.
X-Nave, EGT Digital’s modular iGaming platform, includes four core components – Sportsbook, CRM Engine, Gaming Aggregator, and Payment Gateway – available as part of the turnkey solution or as standalone services.
The Gaming Aggregator offers access to over 24,000 titles from 300+ providers, while the company’s own portfolio features more than 140 in-house developed casino games, including the popular Bell Link, High Cash, Clover Chance, and the newest jackpot solution Gods & Kings Link.
EGT Digital’s slots currently have a presence in more than 70 markets globally and are recognized across the industry for their high quality and outstanding performance.
Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, commented: “Receiving the Gibraltar license is a key milestone for us. It strengthens our position as a trusted provider in regulated markets and opens new opportunities to collaborate with leading partners across the iGaming ecosystem.”

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist orders to five illegal online gambling operators—BoVegas Casino, BUSR, Cherry Gold Casino, Lucky Legends, and Wager Attack Casino—after discovering they were targeting Michigan residents without proper licenses. These operators are violating Michigan’s Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and the Michigan Penal Code.
“These illegal sites undermine the integrity of Michigan’s regulated gaming industry and put players at serious risk. We will not tolerate unlicensed gambling operations that exploit Michigan residents. Our top priority is to protect the public by enforcing the law and shutting down these illegal platforms,” said Henry Williams, Executive Director of the MGCB.
Details of the Crackdown
BoVegas Casino: Offers slots and table games while ignoring Michigan’s strict licensing requirements, leaving players vulnerable to fraud and unfair gaming.
BUSR: Markets itself as a sportsbook and casino but operates without the consumer protections required by Michigan law.
Cherry Gold Casino: Promotes a wide range of slots and table games but lacks Michigan licensure, putting players at risk.
Lucky Legends: Claims to offer a “VIP experience” with bonuses but bypasses state regulations designed to ensure fairness.
Wager Attack Casino: Combines sports betting and casino gaming without a Michigan license, exposing consumers to unregulated practices.
The MGCB’s investigations found that these sites have been accepting wagers and deposits from Michigan residents on sports events, slots, blackjack, and other casino games—all without the oversight and safeguards required by law. Players using these platforms face unreliable payouts, unfair gaming practices, and have no legal recourse in case of disputes.
“These illegal operations, whether offshore or operating without a Michigan license, exploit players and put them at risk. We will continue to take strong action to protect the integrity of Michigan’s gaming industry and to ensure that residents have access to safe, legal, and regulated gambling options,” Williams said.
The cease-and-desist orders demand that each operator immediately halt all gaming activities in Michigan. They have 14 days to comply or face further legal action from the MGCB in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Attorney General.

The Swedish government has proposed a new expanded ban on gambling on credit.
By preventing gambling from being financed with credit, the government wants to reduce the risk of over-indebtedness and protect consumers from ending up in financial difficulties.
The government’s proposal means that licensees and gaming agents will not be allowed to allow or participate in the financing of gambling with credit. This means that the current credit ban will be expanded to include, among other things, that licensees and gaming agents will not be allowed to:
• Enable players to enter into credit agreements with other parties when purchasing games, for example by linking to credit providers in connection with online gaming.
• Accept gambling bets if they know that the player is financing the bet, or their gambling in general, with a credit.
• Accept credit card payments if it is immediately apparent at the time of purchase that the payment is a credit card payment. This should apply both online and in-store.
The new rules are proposed to come into force on April 1, 2026.
