Playnetic reinforces European foothold following regulatory approval from the Malta Gaming Authority
Playnetic, the new B2B iGaming provider, has received regulatory approval from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
The news sees the innovative gaming content provider recognised by the MGA, allowing Playnetic to provide its captivating portfolio of games to Maltese licensed operators. This strategic move allows the company to secure partnerships in one of the most prominent online gambling markets in the world, further solidifying its global footprint.
The major milestone comes fresh from a successful exhibition stand at the SBC Summit Lisbon, where the company launched a range of new game titles, including Patrick vs Joker and Medusa’s Fury. Both titles were showcased as the feature games at the show, with a range of activities including daily tournaments and prizes as well as the signature ‘Playnetic Cocktails’.
In the last few months, the company has secured licences in both Sweden and Romania, with recognition in Malta further expanding Playnetic’s reach. This success allows the company to continue its ambitious expansion plans in regulated markets across the globe.
Dan Phillips, Playnetic CEO said: “We’re delighted to have gained our recognition notice in Malta, where there continues to be incredible market potential, and we’re excited to have gained recognition in yet another country so quickly.
“This achievement sees us push forward with our goal of becoming a trusted and reliable partner, focussed on offering quality innovative games to operators on time, every time. The recognition notice also demonstrates Playnetic’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of regulatory compliance.
“This is just the beginning. Playnetic is actively pursuing additional licenses, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to global expansion. Securing this approval from the Malta Gaming Authority fresh off the back of the exciting discussions at SBC Summit Lisbon, underscores our commitment to expanding our reach and offering our partners even more opportunities.”
