Secured Licenses

Meanwhile, a Canadian virtual gaming operator and technology sharer FansUnite has attained a gaming license and emergency betting supply license. Both these licenses are issued by the MGA, or Malta Gaming Authority. These licenses will approve FansUnite to provide a range of virtual betting services in Malta and the broader European Union market, counting casino, pool betting, fixed-odds gaming, and regulated skilled games.

Operator opted in this jurisdiction will gain access to FansUnite’s B2C and B2B products. The B2b emergency betting supply license was sanctioned to Askott Entertainment, the white label service and solution provider FansUnite achieved in August. It will activate the business to vend all its software to licensed sports gaming and iGaming operators.

Malta’s FansUnite E.G.G. limited will keep the latest B2C betting service license, and it will allow the company to run its own game offerings and brands in the broader and more populated EU market.
