Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, has seen its Gibraltar company, Relax Gaming Gibraltar Ltd, approved by the UK Gambling Commission, signalling further growth opportunities in one of the world’s strongest markets.

The approval will see Relax’s roster of quality casino games made available to UK operators through its Gibraltar arm. Another milestone in the company’s impressive recent growth, Relax has already successfully transferred operator partners Boylesports, 32Red and BetVictor onto its Gibraltar network, with Entain’s UK brands, including Ladbrokes and Coral, amongst the next to follow suit.

The new licence is the company latest, following its approval from the Gibraltar licensing authority and in parallel of the group other companies licences with the Malta Gaming Authority, the United Kingdom Gambling Commission and the Romanian National Gaming Office, multiplying the points of supply for the regulated markets.

The expansion further into the UK comes as Relax continues to strengthen its position in regulated markets including the Nordics, another key market renowned for its discerning player-base. Its performance there was recognised earlier this year with an EGR Nordics Casino Content Supplier award, further highlighting Relax’s status as an in-demand provider in regulated territories.

Commenting on the acquisition of the UKGC licence, Tommi Maijala, Relax Gaming CEO, said:

“Following a fruitful relationship with the UKGC through our Malta-based company, having all our products and services approved for our Gibraltar branch is another major commercial highlight for us. Its significance will be felt across the business, including by our valued third-party partners.

“This licence acquisition represents fresh opportunity in our drive to deliver excellence and growth across all regulated markets.”

Relax Gaming has an established reputation as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, providing its partners with an award-winning portfolio of more than 2000 online casino games.

As well as featuring headline slots from its in-house studios, Relax Gaming also offers a vast collection of content aggregated through its Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partnership programmes.

Live streaming game provider awarded supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority with operator deals and new market launches to follow

Livespins, the live-streaming game provider that sits within the casino lobby, is now the proud holder of a supplier license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

Securing MGA approval is a milestone moment for the award-winning Livespins, which can now offer its socially-charged Bet With Streamers game to operators licensed by the regulator.

This significantly increases Livespins’ addressable audience both in terms of the number of operators it can work with and the markets it can enter.

Livespins has transformed the online casino space with its Bet With Streamers game, which allows operators to tap into the huge demand for streaming content.

Not only do players get to watch streamers fire up the reels on blockbuster slots from the biggest studios, but they can also bet with the streamers.

This creates a group bet and a shared experience but with each player able to select their own bet and number of spins. If the streamer wins, they win. It’s that simple.

Social engagement is at the heart of the Livespins experience with players able to chat with the streamer and each other throughout – they can even drop reactions, emojis and gifs.

This helps to build a community around Bet With Streamers and also the operator’s brand, allowing online casinos to unlock unprecedented retention rates as players keep coming back for more.

Because Livespins sits within the casino lobby, players are given all of the responsible gambling and safe gaming tools required under the operator’s local and international licences.

Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “We are thrilled to have secured a supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority which is a testament to the quality of the product and experience we provide, and how it aligns with the regulator’s goals regarding responsible gambling.

“Malta licences are highly valued, allowing suppliers to engage with a large number of operators in markets across the world. With our licence in hand, we will now be striking deals with tons of MGA operators and taking the Livespins revolution to even more markets across the world.”
