Bulgaria Blocks 600 Unlicensed Gambling Websites
Bulgaria continues its intense crackdown on illegal gambling. According to its latest report, the National Revenue Agency (NRA), the body responsible for regulating gambling in the country, has identified and blocked over 600 unlicensed gambling websites in the last three months of 2023 alone.
The latest ban wave saw the NRA take action against sites such as 22bet, leon casino and luckyhit, among others. All these websites lacked a valid license, yet still allowed Bulgarian consumers to register and participate in online games of chance.
Sites included in the NRA’s list of unlicensed gambling operators are usually required to cease their activity within three days of the announcement. If they fail to do so and still accept bets following this period, the NRA can request court action, which, in turn, can require internet service providers to block access to the operators’ websites and all sub-domains.
The NRA’s decisions and the decisions of the Sofia Regional Court can be seen in the Online Gambling section on the regulatory body’s official website. The NRA also maintains and constantly updates lists of both the licensed and unlicensed gambling operators in the country.
Consumers can report illegal gambling websites to the NRA, helping it to keep the Bulgarian market free of unlicensed gambling.

Expanse Studios Signs Content Distribution Deal with Lobbet
Expanse Studios, a subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group, has signed a content distribution agreement with Lobbet, a licensed sports betting and iGaming operator in Montenegro and part of the Fortuna Entertainment Group (FEG). The distribution will be delivered through DualSoft, a leading aggregation platform with an established footprint across regulated European markets.
Under the agreement, Lobbet will integrate Expanse Studios’ proprietary iGaming content into its online offering, expanding the availability of Expanse titles within the Montenegrin regulated market. DualSoft will facilitate distribution and technical integration, enabling scalable deployment across its broader operator network.
The transaction further strengthens Expanse Studios’ presence in regulated European markets and supports Golden Matrix Group’s broader B2B growth strategy. DualSoft represents a high-potential distribution channel, serving more than ten active operators across multiple regulated jurisdictions, with additional expansion planned.
Lobbet operates in Montenegro as part of Fortuna Entertainment Group, one of the largest betting operators in Central Europe, which recently entered the Montenegrin market through the acquisition of Lob, reflecting growing institutional confidence in the country’s regulated gaming sector.
“This agreement reflects our approach to regulated market expansion across Europe, through scalable B2B distribution. Working with DualSoft allows us to reach high-quality operators such as Lobbet while creating optionality across a broader network of regulated markets. Our focus remains on disciplined growth through partners that operate within clear regulatory frameworks,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios.
