BeyondPlay, the B2B start-up developing next-generation engagement software for online gaming operators, is set to enter the North American market having been granted a B2B license to offer its products in the Canadian province of Ontario.

The Gaming-Related Supplier (B2B) License, issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), covers BeyondPlay’s innovative multiplayer and jackpot products.

The Ontario license represents a further major milestone for BeyondPlay, which offers a portfolio of community-oriented products that transform solo game sessions into captivating multiplayer entertainment experiences.

It is also BeyondPlay’s first license in North America, ahead of the company launching its advanced content-agnostic Jackpot Management Software in Ontario in the fourth quarter of 2023 and follows the securing of MGA, Sweden and United Kingdom licenses since December of 2022.
