Development marks second state certification for the supplier

Wazdan, the leading casino game supplier, has received its Lottery i-Gaming Interim Supplier Licence in West Virginia, an achievement that will see the company significantly boost its reach in the US.

The certification will allow Wazdan to bring its award-winning games to players throughout the Mountain State.

The milestone marks another important step as Wazdan continues its expansion in the exciting US market, following its debut in New Jersey earlier this year.

The company’s initial entry saw many of its most popular games go live in the US, including Sizzling 777 Deluxe, Lucky Reels: The Pantheon, Magic Stars 3, Magic Fruits Deluxe, and Relic Hunters and the Book of Faith, which have been extremely well received by local operators and players alike.

Wazdan’s continued focus on North America is clear with the supplier currently in the process of finalising its Michigan and Pennsylvania licencing alongside its upcoming West Virginia launch.

The accreditation is the latest received by the games provider, which has also gained Greek licence and Belarussian certification in recent months, among others.

Michal Imiolek, Chief Executive Officer at Wazdan, said: “The US market continues to hit incredible heights and it’s a market we’ve already enjoyed some success in. Gaining our West Virginia licence is an important milestone for us, and we’re extremely eager to see what we can accomplish in the state.

“With so much more on the horizon for us in North America, it is a hugely exciting time for Wazdan, and we look forward to achieving even more in the US.”

Media Troopers says it is seeing early signs of increased engagement after the first week of operations in Alberta’s newly regulated online gambling market, which launched on July 13.

The company said it supported marketing campaigns with six partner operators in the first week, and reported a rise in first-time registrations and depositors across its verticals. Media Troopers added that it is rolling out a phased launch strategy and is now onboarding nine additional operators.

“As with every new market, we are implementing in Alberta phased launch that enables us to carefully optimize in real time our advertising channels and marketing campaigns,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO at Media Troopers.

Media Troopers pointed to its established presence in Ontario as a reference point for Alberta’s long-term potential. The company cited iGaming Ontario figures showing total wagers in Ontario peaked at $82.7 billion and total gaming revenue reached $2.9 billion in the 24-25 fiscal year, up 32% and 31% year-over-year, respectively.

“Given the launch corresponded with the final stages of the FIFA World Cup, we are seeing encouraging results so far. However, as with any new market, the real challenge will be sustaining growth after the initial buzz. Still, early signs show promise,” Segal added.

Media Troopers said it is seeing promising early performance after the first week of operations in Alberta’s newly regulated online gambling market, which launched on July 13.

Alberta’s launch makes it Canada’s second competitive regulated market after Ontario, which opened in 2022. Media Troopers said Alberta’s framework creates a new opportunity for operators and suppliers targeting local players through regulated channels.

The company said it supported various marketing campaigns with six partner operators during the market’s first week, reporting increased engagement across verticals, including a rise in first-time registrations and depositors. Media Troopers added that it is taking a gradual approach to launching in the province and is in the process of onboarding nine additional operators.

“As with every new market, we are implementing in Alberta phased launch that enables us to carefully optimize in real time our advertising channels and marketing campaigns,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO at Media Troopers.

Media Troopers pointed to its Ontario experience as a benchmark for Alberta’s potential. According to figures published by iGaming Ontario, total wagers in the province peaked at $82.7 billion while total gaming revenue totaled $2.9 billion for the 24-25 fiscal year, a rise of 32% and 31% year-over-year, respectively. “Given the launch corresponded with the final stages of the FIFA World Cup, we are seeing encouraging results so far.
