PHOENIX 7, a brand new slot provider that’s bringing a fusion of Asian and European games to the industry, has just reached a crucial milestone in their journey. Even though they only just opened their Malta office last Autumn, the start-up supplier has already obtained a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

The newly acquired licence will allow their commercial team to provide a wide variety of slots, which also include pachinko-inspired games designed by the Japanese team, to a range of new operators. Given the hype received during SiGMA 2022 and ICE 2023, new customers won’t be in short supply.

PHOENIX 7 CEO, Hiroshi Ogawa commented, “This is a major milestone for our company, having received the MGA B2B licence. We have already produced several games and exhibited at events, but this is just the beginning for us as a game provider, as our teams in each country will work together to ensure our success. PHOENIX 7 is going to create unique games that have never been seen before, so keep your eyes peeled.

PHOENIX 7 COO, Yutaka Iwakiri commented, “We are delighted to receive the MGA B2B licence, which is proof not only of the quality of our products, but also of the strict service standards and transparency that the licence requires. We are excited to bring our games to new players around the world.”

PHOENIX 7 Malta CAO, Louise Ellul, added, “We are very pleased and honoured to be a part of this new and exciting venture. With teams in Malta, Ukraine and Japan, we have talent from all over the world, which we are sure will bring a new dimension to the iGaming industry!”

PHOENIX 7 Ukraine CTO, Igor Poltorak, commented, “We are using the latest technology and stack in order to be progressive and tuned. As a team, we are continuously improving and updating our approach to building games.”

Keep your eyes peeled on the “phoenix”, as it seems they are just getting started.

The Mill Adventure has obtained GLI-19 certification as it prepares to enter regulated online gaming in Ontario, a key step in the platform provider’s North American expansion plans.

The company said the certification supports technical compliance requirements common across regulated North American markets, including platform functionality, reporting processes, KYC measures and geolocation. GLI-19 is a technical standard used for interactive gaming systems.

The milestone comes ahead of The Mill Adventure’s planned launch with its first client in Ontario. The company said it will build on experience in multiple European regulated jurisdictions as it targets further growth in North America.

The Mill Adventure also pointed to recent developments including the launch of Dutch operator Winz.nl and a wider integration with Optimove’s CRM suite.

Bjørnar Heggernes, Chief Commercial Officer at The Mill Adventure, said: “Achieving GLI-19 certification reinforces that our platform and compliance framework are built to support the complexity regulated operators face in markets like Ontario, without compromising performance or scalability.

“Our focus is not simply on entering North America, but on becoming a long-term technical partner for operators looking to scale efficiently across regulated jurisdictions.”

EveryMatrix has received conditional licensing approval from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) to offer its iGaming technology in the Canadian province, marking another step in the company’s expansion across North America.

The approval enables the Group to provide its award-winning casino and sports platform technologies to licensed operators in Alberta, soon to become Canada’s second regulated iGaming territory following Ontario.

Alberta’s regulated iGaming market is expected to launch in July this year, opening the door for licensed operators to enter the province under its new framework.

At launch EveryMatrix will offer premium titles from its in-house studio, Fantasma Games, as well as aggregated content with further opportunities to expand its portfolio.

The approval further strengthens EveryMatrix’s position as a tier-1 provider in North America, where it already holds licences in multiple North American jurisdictions, including Ontario since 2022, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

With a population of approximately five million, high digital adoption, and one of the strongest GDP per capita profiles in North America, Alberta is a high-potential iGaming jurisdiction.

EveryMatrix has already secured commercial opportunities in the province, with agreements in place to deliver both platform and in-house gaming content.
