Push Gaming welcomes new Head of Legal
B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming is complementing its recent impressive regulated market growth with the hiring of Denisa Assefova as its new Head of Legal to oversee Push Gaming’s legal matters and support the company’s further expansion.
A graduate of the Charles University of Prague and the University of Oslo, Denisa brings with her key industry experience having served as the Head of Legal Affairs at the Betsson Group on the back of over a decade of practising law with a number of international firms.
Her skills in the fields of iGaming, IP, Licensing & E-Commerce and Contract Law will be instrumental in supporting Push’s commercial expansion in an industry where regulated markets continue to evolve and diversify.
The appointment matches Push’s ambition as it continues to enter new markets and expand its global footprint, thanks to its entertainment-first portfolio of quality titles such as recent smash-hit Jammin’ Jars 2, Mount Magmas Jackpots, and the upcoming Fat Drac.
Donna Kelly, Director of HR at Push Gaming said: “With great success and rapid global expansion brings the requirement for the right people to manage and cultivate the talent and drive we already have and Denisa brings that in spades.
“It’s of vital importance to us as a company that we adhere to the strict and necessary regulations that are active in all markets we operate in and we’re confident that she will excel in her new role. Welcome to Push Gaming, Denisa!”
Denisa Assefova, Head of Legal at Push Gaming said: “Push Gaming is a great company with fantastic and talented people who are creating remarkable products. I am excited to join Push Gaming at a time of its rapid expansion and look forward to supporting the company in achieving its goals”
Marking its tenth anniversary last October, Push Gaming is building on the growth momentum gained from 2020’s acquisition of an MGA and UKGC-licensed platform and furthering its expansion ambitions across Europe with several new market entries prepared for the coming months.
Established as one of the industry’s most entertaining suppliers, Push Gaming’s content includes the award winning Dinopolis and Jammin’ Jars 2, which are live in the lobbies of leading operators such as Casumo, LeoVegas, Entain, The Rank Group and Norsk Tipping.

Businesses can now obtain licenses for organising and conducting gambling activities online through the Diia portal, without paper documents or in-person interaction with the state, according to a statement by PlayCity, the state agency regulating Ukraine’s gambling and lottery market.
According to the release, applications can be generated in the Diia electronic cabinet and signed using a qualified electronic signature (QES). Some data will be automatically retrieved from state registries, including information about the company, its owners and beneficiaries.
PlayCity will review submitted applications, and applicants will receive decisions on license issuance or refusal online via Diia.
Companies will be able to apply for licenses covering casino operations, bookmaking, slot machine halls, online poker, as well as B2B services in the gambling sector.
Acting Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Borniakov said on Telegram that the ministry, together with PlayCity, has also prepared amendments to sector-specific legislation aimed at strengthening entry checks for companies in terms of reputation, integrity, ownership structure and absence of ties to the aggressor state.
“Our goal is to create a transparent and controlled market in which digital tools ensure both convenience for businesses and trust in the state,” Borniakov said.

Amusnet is entering the North American market after securing a Gaming-Related Supplier–Manufacturer Registration from the AGCO in Ontario, Canada, marking a strategic milestone in the group’s global expansion.
Licensing grants Amusnet access to Ontario’s regulated iGaming market, which is one of the most established and fast-growing jurisdictions in North America, known for its robust regulatory framework and strong long-term growth potential.
It will allow the supplier to offer online gaming content to licensed operators in the province, officially establishing its presence in the region. Amusnet will initially roll out its iGaming portfolio, with the option to expand into Land-based solutions at a later stage.
Ontario’s regulatory framework emphasises strict compliance, ensuring that all suppliers adhere to high standards in technology, security and player protection. This makes Ontario a key benchmark market for companies entering North America. The new registration further confirms that Amusnet has successfully met these rigorous requirements for integrity and regulatory compliance, enabling it to distribute its content across the province.
“Securing the AGCO licence is an important milestone for Amusnet and reflects our long-term commitment to operating in fully regulated markets. Our entry into Ontario represents a key strategic step into North America, which is a high-priority region with strong long-term growth potential. We look forward to partnering with local operators and building a sustainable presence in the market,” said Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Amusnet.
