Approval marks European-based Shape’s B2B continued expansion in the US online gambling market

Shape Games has received its first US state online gaming license with the approval of a vendor license by the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission, Shape CEO Christian Risom announced today.

The approval permits Shape Games to offer its award-winning front-end gaming technology to operators that are also licensed in Colorado. The company has recently signed agreements with licensed operators in the US, including Ballys.

“We’re very pleased to receive this approval as the first of multiple licenses we are pursuing in order to be a leader in gaming services to the US market,” Risom said. “Colorado is one step in our plan to provide the leading consumer engagement platform for the gaming industry as it grows in the American market. Our clients say that our platform is the most modern, engaging and consumer-focused engine in the industry. That stems from our origin as a consumer app developer working with companies like Apple, Red Bull and Ikea.”

Shape’s customers applaud the company’s award winning personalised user interfaces that simplify and streamline their customers’ time, decisions, and ultimately make them feel like these brands know them better.
