Pariplay Secures Interim iGaming Supplier License for West Virginia

 

Pariplay Ltd., the No. 1 aggregator and content provider behind innovative products including the Fusion™ aggregation platform and the Ignite Studio development programme, has announced it has been granted an Interim iGaming Supplier License for the state of West Virginia. The reception of this license marks Pariplay’s entrance into a second US state, following its approval for a license with the New Jersey DGE last year. The interim license will enable Pariplay to sign deals with casino operators in West Virginia and provide its industry-leading suite of gaming content to more players in the expanding US market.

Since the repeal of PASPA in 2018, the United States has proven itself to be a major developing market in the global iGaming space, with the near-immediate uptake gambling received in each state that legalised it. To date, 26 states have either legalised sports betting or have passed a bill to legalise it, including West Virginia. The state has shown immense potential, reporting impressive month-on-month revenue increases, and reporting a massive $44,875,101 in revenue since it has opened its borders to online betting, according to the West Virginia Lottery Commission.

This latest development in the United States is Pariplay’s latest move in its 2021 expansion strategy, and a clear demonstration of Pariplay’s ongoing efforts to extend its global footprint across all regulated markets. By entering into partnerships with a new base of operators in West Virginia, Pariplay will be able to provide its renowned portfolio of hundreds of casino games, including hit titles like Kings Of The Trident Deluxe, Dragons of the North Deluxe, Mystery Fox, Wolf Riches and Stallion Fortunes. In addition to Pariplay’s innovative gaming catalogue, operators in West Virginia will also gain access to thousands of games from leading suppliers that are available through Pariplay’s Fusion™ aggregation platform.

Adrian Bailey, Managing Director of Pariplay, said: “Being approved by the West Virginia Lottery Commission to offer our high-quality games to players in the market is a very exciting move for Pariplay, as we see much potential not only in this state but in the US market as a whole. We think our suite of games will resonate well with the players in this state and we look forward to begin building partnerships with operators in West Virginia and beyond as we continue to expand into more regulated markets.”

GLI® First Lab to Achieve Accreditation by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas to Certify Betting Systems, Live Game Studios, and Online Games to be used by Fixed-odds Lottery Operators for Brazil

 

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®) has become the first laboratory to achieve accreditation to certify for betting systems, live game studios, and online games to be used by fixed-odds lottery operators by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) in Brazil.

The accreditation means GLI is authorized to test and certify equipment, programs, instruments, and devices that comprise betting systems, live game studios, and online games to be used by fixed-odds lottery operators for the recently enacted national regulatory regime of Brazil.

“We commend the outstanding work that SPA has done in creating a regulatory framework by adapting global best practices to their jurisdiction need and thank them for the transparency and professionalism of this laboratory accreditation process,” said Karen Sierra-Hughes, GLI Vice President for Latin America, Caribbean, and Spain. “We are grateful for the trust put in our work by Brazilian operators and suppliers in the past years in their self-regulatory efforts to voluntarily adhere to compliance processes, which puts them in the position to transition effortlessly to the rise of regulations that are in development today. We have witnessed the efforts that the government and the industry had made throughout all these years to regulate different forms of gaming and lottery, and we feel fortunate to have been part of it while sharing our global expertise and putting the local focus needed in providing support customized to the Brazil culture and particularities of this unique market. We are looking forward to being part of this very exciting time in Brazil and now finally also as an official accredited laboratory for this great country.”

GLI has been working with regulators, lotteries, and industry stakeholders across the Latin American and Caribbean region for more than 26 years in their efforts towards regulation, sustainable growth, and eradicating illegal gaming. In Brazil, GLI has been side by side with government entities and all industry stakeholders for nearly 20 years, participating in public hearings in the Senate, Chamber of Deputies, and State government level, and in recent years, adding strategic local representation to strengthen their local support.

This milestone is the latest for GLI in Latin America. Last month, GLI became the first lab to achieve accreditation to test online gaming, wagering, and retail sports betting in Peru. Last year in Brazil, GLI was the first lab authorized to test and certify for the Lottery of Parana LOTTOPAR, and GLI will become accredited in all states where laboratory accreditation will be required in Brazil.

Play’n GO has continued on its upward trajectory in North America by landing its latest US iGaming licenses and will soon supply its award-winning content portfolio to operators and players in Pennsylvania and Delaware

These licenses are the fifth and sixth obtained by the Swedish gaming giants in the USA, following New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, and Connecticut.

Play’n GO have taken a dual-pronged approach to its strategy in North America, with these US licenses being complimented by the company’s success north of the border in Canada, where Play’n GO was one of the first suppliers to be licensed to supply slot games in the province of Ontario.

Although early in its American journey, Play’n GO games such as Piggy Blitz, make regular appearances in the top 15 most popular titles in all of North America*.

Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer for Play’n GO, said: “Play’n GO content is the most conducive to player retention across the industry. With player acquisition costs sky high in the US, we’re pleased to be able to offer operators in Pennsylvania access to our content which will keep players coming back for more.

“We are determined to be the number one casino gaming supplier in every regulated market in the world, and given that we are thriving in more than 25 jurisdictions around the world where we have a license, we fully expect a similar success story in Pennsylvania in the coming years.”

Play’n GO is set to release more than 50 online slot titles in 2024 and is active in more than 25 regulated jurisdictions worldwide, including Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan and West Virginia in North America.
