Innovative games provider ESA Gaming has been granted its supplier licence by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) as it looks to grow in regulated markets across the globe.

The MGA licence will allow the supplier to distribute its collection of mobile gaming products, aimed at increasing player engagement and cross-sell across sportsbook and casino players, to an array of new partners.

The supplier’s EasySwipe™ products are lightweight HTML5 mobile-first games that offer added revenue opportunities to sportsbooks and allows users to enjoy the best quality casino games without disrupting the sports betting experience.

ESA Gaming has recently struck several deals with operators and aggregator platforms across a number of markets, expanding the reach of its growing EasySwipe™ portfolio which has been proven extremely popular with players.

The supplier also holds certifications in the Italian and Colombian markets with a strategy to grow its product range internationally through its seamless integration process.

Zorica Smallwood, CEO at ESA Gaming, said: “The accreditation of our products by the MGA marks a very exciting step for us as we look to continue our upward trajectory.

“Being granted our MGA licence is vital for us as we continue to gain partners across a number of jurisdictions, while also allowing us to maintain the highest level of compliance with our products.”

SoftSwiss is excited to announce its official expansion into the African continent. As the company continues extending its global presence, this month SoftSwiss received a license for Nigeria. This is another great milestone for SoftSwiss in entering new regulated markets.

Nigeria is the largest country in Africa, with 200 million inhabitants, whilst also being a gambling country with an extremely developed regulation for sports betting and lotteries. Furthermore, it is also one of the most competitive and fast-developing markets in gambling in Africa. The size of the population and exponentially growing internet exposure create the right conditions for online gambling companies to operate in. 

It has to be noted, the African region as a whole is more focused on sports betting rather than online casinos. Now after the official launch of the SoftSwiss Sportsbook, the company is ready to build up its presence in this exciting new region.

Ivan Montik, Founder of SoftSwiss commented on this event: “Entering the Nigerian market marks an exceptional turning point for SoftSwiss, as we’re expanding our global presence to a brand new continent. Nigeria is considered one of the most fast-paced iGaming markets in terms of growth and we cannot wait to begin providing our services there. Nigeria is a great achievement for us and we’re planning on moving even further into other regulated markets” .
