Spearhead Studios secures Romanian certification
Following a very busy month of July, with no less than 5 new exciting titles released, Spearhead Studios is pleased to announce its entry on the Romanian market. The gaming development company has recently finalized the process of getting its game portfolio certified in Romania, including blockbusters such as Lara Jones is Cleopatra, Popstar or Wilds of Wall Street.
Built with the vision of developing local games for local markets, Spearhead Studios’s portfolio currently counts 20 titles, both slots and table games, since the company launch in November 2019.
All the games are certified in Malta, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Colombia, and now Romania, with other markets to follow in the upcoming years.
Mathias Larsson, Managing Director of Spearhead Studios, comments: “We are a young company with big ambitions. Getting our games certified in multiple jurisdictions, including Romania, is what will help us push through and bring excitement to players around Europe and beyond.
“We also got our Colombia certification in June and our Group company, EveryMatrix, is now gearing up to enter the US, which is exciting news. I am looking forward to seeing Spearhead Studios thrive around the globe in many regulated markets.”

Play’n GO granted Alberta iGaming licence, expanding Canadian market footprint
The Swedish gaming giant confirms its entry into another regulated market, with its industry-leading portfolio of games set to launch in Alberta.
Play’n GO, one of the world’s leading casino entertainment providers, has been granted a licence to supply online gaming content in the Canadian province of Alberta, marking another milestone in the company’s expansion across regulated North American markets.
The licence, awarded by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (AGLC), allows the company to offer its portfolio of premium online casino titles to licensed operators in the province ahead of Alberta’s planned market launch later this year.
Alberta represents an important new regulated opportunity within Canada, complementing Play’n GO’s established presence in Ontario and Quebec, while reinforcing the company’s commitment to operating exclusively in regulated jurisdictions.
Magnus Olsson said: “Being granted a licence in Alberta is another important step in our North American growth journey and further strengthens our presence in Canada.

As part of its market entry preparations, the company has aligned its technology and game portfolio with Alberta’s regulatory standards and requirements, with an initial batch of titles already undergoing certification to ensure launch readiness.
