Play’n GO enters America
The world’s leading gaming entertainment supplier to regulated markets has secured a Provisional Internet Gaming Supplier (B2B) license in Michigan, sealing its entry into the USA for the first time
Play’n GO has entered the US online casino market, with CEO Johan Törnqvist heralding the move as a ‘landmark moment’ for the company.
As the leading provider of iGaming entertainment to regulated markets globally, Play’n GO will now bring its unrivaled collection of slot titles to new and recently regulated jurisdictions across the USA.
Play’n GO’s first license in the USA has been awarded in Michigan, meaning players in the Wolverine State could be the first in the country to enjoy titles that have captivated players in regulated markets all around the world such as Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, Reactoonz, Rise of Olympus, Legacy of Dead and many more.
Michigan is the first step in a commitment by Play’n GO to become the casino content partner of choice in the United States, as it raises the bar for American players. The powerhouse studio is also targeting launches in other regulated US states.
“This is a landmark moment in the history of Play’n GO,” said the company’s CEO Johan Törnqvist. “We started by designing casino games specifically for mobile before the smartphone even existed, and now are breaking into America as the leading supplier to more than 25 regulated markets globally which is such a credit to everyone at Play’n GO. We believe we are uniquely positioned to succeed in the US.”
Törnqvist added: “Our aim is to see Play’n GO games become as beloved in the US as they are in every other regulated market around the world. We know that each regulated market is different, and that this will take time in the US, but we are absolutely committed to expanding our footprint across the country.
“We’ve become a leader in regulated markets by focusing on the player and creating games that entertain above everything else. We believe this gives us an edge in the US, but we’ll be taking nothing for granted and look forward to listening, learning and adapting so we can provide the very best casino entertainment to US players.”
Play’n GO’s enviable portfolio—including the world’s favorite online slot, Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead—is expected to change the game in the US by introducing Americans to crowd-pleasing franchises and an unparalleled range of licensed content.
Among recent Play’n GO licensed releases includes Def Leppard Hysteria, KISS Reels of Rock and *NSYNC Pop, a title featuring the legendary ‘90s boy band.
Play’n GO has already released 27 premium titles in 2022 including Gigantoonz—the part of the global smash-hit series Reactoonz—in addition to Wild Trigger, Raging Rex 2, 15 Crystal Roses: A Tale of Love and Egyptian-themed King’s Mask that is one of the company’s most successful releases in its history.

Delasport Now GLI-Certified for Sports Betting in Brazil
Delasport has just become one of the first suppliers to obtain a GLI certification for its sportsbook in Brazil, two weeks before the historical regulation comes into effect.
Continuing its global growth, Delasport is bringing several operators on board in Brazil. In order to complete the process, operators that are applying for a new Brazilian license have 30 days to provide all relevant platform certificates from the moment that they are notified by the regulator that their initial submission has been accepted. This is also the moment that they can pay the license fee. Still, failure to provide platform certificates will result in the application being placed on hold.
Delasport turned to Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) for the certification of its sportsbook against Brazilian technical standards. The historical partnership with GLI was further strengthened by the news, a few months back, that GLI had become the first laboratory to achieve the local accreditation to certify for betting systems, live game studios, and online games by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) in Brazil.
Delasport has successfully met all technical requirements for providing its sports betting solution to the largest country in South America. The certificate is evidence of the team’s experience, expertise, and determination to lead the way in key jurisdictions.
Obtaining a GLI certification for Brazil is a step towards cementing the trust players and operators have for Delasport’s products. This serves to show that the award-winning supplier is capable of meeting even the strictest industry standards for integrity and fairness.
“When we learnt that providing platform certificates to the regulator was on our partner operators’ critical path for obtaining the license, we immediately prioritized submitting the system to GLI for testing”, Delasport’s Chief Compliance Officer Filippo Ferri said. “Needless to say, GLI did a tremendous job of working with us to conduct the tests in record time, to match the submission deadline of some of our clients. I am also very proud of how our internal departments worked together to obtain this certificate, and of how they continue to push forward with the delivery of a datavault system that complies with SIGAP requirements.”
Operators that plan on entering the newly regulated Brazilian market will now have numerous advantages if they partner with Delasport. They will be able to provide their players with personalization features like My Sportsbook, My Event Builder, and My Combo that skyrocket revenues and retention.
Furthermore, Delasport’s KYC and AML provider is a market leader that guarantees the highest level of compliance for all operators that choose to go on this route.
Also, Delasport has already partnered with numerous local payment system providers and offers a real-time AI-powered Responsible Gambling system which can easily adapt to local regulations.
Last, but not least, operators will feel Delasport’s support from the get-go all the way to establishing themselves as a market leader. Delasport is knowledgeable of cultural and regional differences and can address all localization needs from the early stages of engagement.
