Innovative mobile-first developer has submitted its licence application to the Hellenic Gaming Commission with plans to enter the market later this year

Cutting-edge mobile first slot developer, Betixon, has successfully submitted its B2B Manufacture’s Suitability Licence to the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) as it sets its sights on entering the Greek market for the first time.

The HGC set a deadline of 7 May 2021 for all operators and suppliers looking to serve the market to enter their licence applications or leave the jurisdiction. The application aligns with Betixon’s strategy of entering regulated markets around the world.

The developer has taken steps to make sure that it meets requirements set by the HGC, including obtaining ISO27001 certification and securing a European gaming licence – Betixon holds licences from the UK Gambling Commission and ONJN Romania.

The HGC is expected to issue licences to operators over the next few months with suppliers to receive their licences after. Betixon is confident it meets HGC requirements and will receive its licence in due course, allowing it to offer its games to players in the market for the first time.

Betixon has earned a formidable reputation for creating highly engaging games built for mobile play from the get-go. Its Fortune Breakers series has proved especially popular, with each slot boasting stunning visuals and animations combined with compelling gameplay and features.

Its titles are available to operators in regulated markets including the UK, Lithuania, Estonia, Italy, Colombia, Portugal and Romania with more to follow.

Lior Cohen, Co-founder at CTO of Betixon, said: “Our strategy is based around entering regulated markets across Europe and beyond, delivering our modern, innovative and hugely entertaining content to as many operator partners as we can.

“We see Greece as being an exciting market with plenty of growth potential now that a proper regulatory and licencing regime is in place. As per our strategy, we want to be among the first to enter markets as and when they regulate and that is why we have made sure to meet the 7 May deadline.

“We believe we are compliant with the rules and requirements of the Hellenic Gaming Commission and look forward to being awarded a licence in due course, allowing us to better serve our current partners while also joining forces with additional operators.”

Fast-growing software provider Swintt has revealed this week that Etienne Azzopardi has stepped into the position of Interim Managing Director as the company persists in reorganizing its C-Level team after the exit of former CEO, David Mann.

Etienne joined Swintt as Director of Operations in August 2021 and advanced to Chief Operating Officer in February 2022. Over the past four-and-a-half years, he has managed operational oversight, product roadmap enhancement, market licensing, and game certification for the provider, positioning him perfectly for the interim role.

Throughout that period, Etienne has overseen the management, coordination, and optimization of numerous product deliveries and new client launches, while also leading a significant geographical expansion for the company, as Swintt entered its 13th regulated market in Italy last summer – an impressive milestone for a provider that just started in 2019.

In his new role as Interim Managing Director, Etienne will still oversee operations for Swintt in all these crucial areas, while also steering the direction of Swintt’s future product strategy, continuous market expansion efforts, and team growth strategies moving ahead.

Given that this aligns closely with Etienne’s established area of expertise, Swintt believes that the former COO will eagerly embrace the extra duties associated with the new position and offer reliable guidance to navigate the company through its upcoming growth phase.

Etienne Azzopardi, new Interim Managing Director at Swintt, said: “I’m very excited to be appointed as the Interim Managing Director at Swintt and hope I can repay the trust the company has shown in me by continuing the excellent work we’ve done over the past few years.

“Under David Mann, Swintt grew from an innovative start-up to a software provider sought after for its portfolio of high-quality games with a far-reaching distribution across 13 regulated markets globally. In my new role, I fully intend to build on these strong foundations by helping the company expand its portfolio, grow our reach with new commercial partnerships, and make our content available in additional key markets – cementing our legacy in the industry as we enter the next phase of our evolution.”
