The event will take place at the Better Collective HQ in Copenhagen, and will feature Mr. Anders Dorph, Director of the Danish Gambling Authority as its headline speaker.

Other confirmed speakers include:

  • Pontus Lindwall, CEO, Betsson
  • Jesper Søgaard, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Better Collective

Gaming in the Nordics founder, Willem van Oort commented: “We are extremely pleased that Mr. Anders Dorph has agreed to speak at the Gaming in the Nordics launch event. In my experience, it is always good to able to facilitate a dialogue between regulatory authorities and the industry – which in this case will be very capably represented by Betsson’s Mr. Pontus Lindwall, as well as several leading trade bodies. Although the Nordic markets are in varying states of regulation and market maturity, there nonetheless exist certain commonalities, which together provide a solid basis for the fruitful exchange of lessons learned and best practices.”

EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer of online poker and casino software, has secured a five-year B2B supplier licence from the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden), further strengthening its position across Europe’s most established jurisdictions.

The strategic move into the Danish market aligns with EvenBet’s mission to provide its global client base with seamless access to high-potential regulated jurisdictions.
