Big Daddy Gaming® Expands European Footprint After MGA Licence Approval
New achievement bolsters regulatory framework as studio speeds up European expansion.
Innovative slots studio Big Daddy Gaming® has obtained a B2B supplier license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), representing a significant advancement in the studio’s plan to establish a solid, regulation-focused presence in Europe’s leading markets.
This accreditation allows Big Daddy Gaming to provide its expanding range of slot titles to MGA-licensed operators, greatly increasing the studio’s potential market and aiding its continuous commercial rollout in regulated territories.
The endorsement comes after Big Daddy Gaming’s recent attainment of regulatory approval from the Swedish Gambling Authority. This occurs during a time of significant early progress for the newly established studio, with multiple partnerships already in place with well-known operators and aggregators, highlighting the provider’s dedication to fostering long-lasting relationships with top-tier brands.
As a vital element of Big Daddy Gaming’s strategy for market entry, the studio has made certain that its technology, games, and operational procedures comply with one of Europe’s most stringent regulators.
The license further aids the ongoing launch of Big Daddy Gaming’s initial games, which are centered on the studio’s fundamental creative principle of Reel Fun. Real Value., merging recognizable, player-friendly features with a comedic angle, aimed at achieving high engagement and evident commercial success for operators.
The MGA approval signifies a crucial point in Big Daddy Gaming’s early business path, solidifying its role as a new studio dedicated to regulation, dependability, and sustainable growth while it broadens its presence in Europe’s regulated markets.
Erland Hellström, CEO at Big Daddy Gaming®, said: “Securing our MGA licence is an important step for us as we continue to build Big Daddy Gaming® with regulation at the forefront. From day one, our focus has been on creating a studio that operators can trust, both creatively and operationally.
“Malta is one of the most respected regulatory environments in the industry, and achieving this approval reflects the work our team has put into building compliant, market-ready slots. Combined with our recent progress in Sweden, it gives us a strong platform to continue scaling our content with confidence.”

Big Daddy Gaming® and ComeOn Group: A Disruptive Partnership for Q1 2026
Big Daddy Gaming®, the high-profile newcomer to the slots industry, has finalized a major commercial agreement with ComeOn Group. This partnership marks a significant milestone for the studio, which was founded by a trio of industry heavyweights from Relax Gaming and Evolution.
The deal will see Big Daddy Gaming’s debut portfolio integrated across ComeOn Group’s international brand stable, with a specific focus on high-traffic Swedish brands like Snabbare and Hajper.
Reel Fun. Real Value: The Studio’s DNA
Launched in late 2025, Big Daddy Gaming® entered the market with a mission to disrupt what its founders describe as an “oversaturated and stagnant” supply chain. The studio’s philosophy, Reel Fun. Real Value., aims to combine humorous, high-quality creative content with a commercial model that prioritizes long-term operator profitability.
Leadership & Strategic Backing
The studio’s rapid ascent is fueled by the combined experience of its founding team:
-
Erland Hellstrom (CEO): A former commercial executive at Evolution, known for managing tier-one operator relationships during periods of hypergrowth.
-
Simon Hammon (Co-Founder): Former CEO of Relax Gaming and a key figure in the early success of NetEnt.
-
Daniel Eskola (Co-Founder): Former Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming and product leader at Kindred.
The venture is further supported by capital from Castech, a gaming-focused investment fund, ensuring the studio has the financial runway to scale its technical infrastructure.
