Newly regulated market attracts top notch providers

Malta-based platform provider Relax Gaming has been granted a B2B supplier licence from the Romanian gambling regulator for the provision of casino games through its Silver Bullet gaming platform, as well as bingo and poker via its operating partners.
"Moving into new regulated markets is a natural step for Relax and part of our growth strategy," commented Patrik Österåker, chief executive officer at Relax Gaming. "We are very pleased to have been granted a licence in Romania, which is an attractive and growing market for us. The licence allows Relax to support our valued partners as they retain and grow their presence in this important jurisdiction."
The Romanian National Gambling Office also awarded Yggdrasil Gaming two licenses permitting the company to supply its gaming content and promotional tools to licensed operators in the country.
"It is fantastic news that Yggdrasil slots will now be available to customers in Romania," Fredrik Elmqvist, chief executive officer at Yggdrasil Gaming said.
"Gaining this licence underlines our commitment to local regulated markets. We are working hard to strategically expand our jurisdictional reach and expect to see our licensed European footprint continue to expand".

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
