Net Entertainment (NetEnt), supplier and developer of online gaming solutions and games, has been granted its licenses to operate on the UK market from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).
Following an extensive licensing process, NetEnt announced that it has been granted both the operating and software licenses for the UK market by the UKGC. Since new regulation was introduced in the UK last autumn, NetEnt has been operating under a temporary license.
Per Eriksson, President and CEO of NetEnt: “This is a milestone for NetEnt and we are very pleased to have been approved for UK licenses by the UKGC. Britain is the largest gaming market in Europe and is central for our growth strategy to expand on regulated markets”.
“As a leading provider of digital gaming solutions, we want everyone who plays our games to do it for the right reason – for fun. Promoting responsible gaming is fundamental to us and a condition for the licenses we hold.”
The news of its licensing approval by the UKGC, follows NetEnt’s recent announcement that it has gained further European content agreements with national licensed operators Danske Spil (Denmark) and Codere (Spain) to provide gaming titles for their online casino verticals.
