Spribe secures prestigious Malta licence
Innovative game developer certified by the Malta Gaming Authority allowing it to enter additional markets and strike new operator partnerships
Spribe, the progressive and innovative casino game developer, is delighted to announce it has been awarded a licence by the Malta Gaming Authority allowing it to offer its games to more operators in more markets than ever before.
Spribe has become one of the most in-demand casino content creators since its launch back in 2018 thanks in part to its highly entertaining Turbo Games which combines elements of social media with simple but engaging gameplay, for a truly fun and entertaining player experience
Titles under Spribe’s Turbo Games category include Aviator, Mines and Dice with each game having been built for mobile play from the get-go. They have also been designed to appeal to a younger audience than traditional slots and in particular Millennials.
Spribe offers operators a series of skill games including Poker, Backgammon, Bura, Seka and Domino. Each of the developer’s titles have been designed and built by a team of experts based out of its modern studios in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Spribe’s games have been developed using cryptographic technology called “provably fair” which means it is impossible for any third-party to interfere in the game process, taking security and trust to the next level. Games are hosted on AWS and Microsoft Azure.
The provider’s Malta licence comes just weeks after it received approval from the Great Britain Gambling Commission to partner with operators in the UK and to offer its games to players in the market for the very first time. More market launches are planned for this year.
David Natroshvili, Managing Partner at Spribe, said: “This is a significant moment in our journey to becoming one of the top casino content creators in the market, allowing us to partner with Malta licensees for the first time.
“This will significantly increase the reach of our games, allowing us to work with more operators and to provide their players, and especially those in the Millennial demographic, with a unique, exciting and thrilling online casino experience like no other.
“The Spribe team has worked incredibly hard to get to this stage and to secure approval from the Malta Gaming Authority and armed with our licence we will continue to deploy or ambitious growth plans for this year and beyond.”

Altenar celebrates Greek licence in landmark moment for business
Leading sportsbook goes live with full multi-product offering across key market
Altenar, a leading sportsbook and iGaming software provider, has obtained a B2B licence in Greece, expanding its outreach across another established European territory.
The company, which already has an office in Athens, has secured a licence from the Hellenic Gaming Commission, boosting Altenar’s presence in the country and adding a Greek licence to its already comprehensive portfolio.
Altenar’s expertise reaches more than 50 countries where gambling is legalised and the Greek licence, which is valid for seven years, paves the way for the company to offer its services in a new jurisdiction.
Since the introduction of the new regulatory framework, online betting in Greece has emerged as a success story, with the country undergoing robust growth, as market data shows tax revenues expected to reach €540,000,000 this year and the creation of numerous job opportunities.
Marina Zacharopoulou, Compliance Manager at Altenar, said: “The process of obtaining a licence for Altenar was rigorous, albeit familiar due to our experience with similar procedures in other jurisdictions. While we encountered typical challenges along the way, we navigated them smoothly.
“Achieving a Greek licence holds special significance for Altenar, as a considerable portion of our team is Greek, making it feel like a homecoming. Personally, I believe that Greece’s historical connection to games of chance, evident in the popularity of gambling in ancient times and the presence of deities like Tyche, adds cultural resonance to our licensure.
“Securing our presence in Greece through licensure not only demonstrates our commitment to regulatory compliance but also positions us to capitalise on the country’s expanding market.”
