Yggdrasil set for Greek market entry after licensing approval
Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gaming content, has been granted a Greek supplier licence.
The licence, awarded by the Hellenic Gaming Commission, enables Yggdrasil to launch its best-in-class games portfolio to Greek players under the country’s newly revised online gaming regulations.
A wide selection of premium games, including titles featuring Yggdrasil’s proprietary Game Engagement Mechanics (GEM), are now available to operators in the Greek market. Titles from the supplier’s successful YG Masters program are also on offer, providing exclusive content from exciting third-party studios.
Yggdrasil has already partnered with a number of major Greek operators and further details about the deals will be announced over the next few months.
The Greek licence is another milestone in Yggdrasil’s regulatory market strategy and was made possible by the company’s ISO/IEC27001 accreditation which it secured last year.
The Greek online gaming market is showing impressive growth and with new operators set to enter the country, it provides an exciting opportunity for Yggdrasil to expand its footprint across Europe.
Björn Krantz, Chief of Global Market Operations at Yggdrasil, said: “It goes without saying that Yggdrasil is yet again walking the talk and we continue to deliver on our regulatory market strategy.
“To obtain the Greek licence, and to capitalise on our ISO/IEC27001 accreditation is yet another milestone and achievement from the great team we have here at Yggdrasil. We would like to thank all local partners for their support in making a difference with Yggdrasil and our best-in-class portfolio of innovative games in Greece.”

PA Gaming Control Board Removes Gambling Privileges for 14 Individuals

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board) has taken actions to place 14 individuals on its various Involuntary Exclusion Lists. Placement on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits individuals from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or a Video Gaming Terminal (VGT) location.
These matters, presented by the Board’s Office of Chief Counsel and Office of Enforcement Counsel, raise the number of individuals now on the Board’s various Involuntary Exclusion Lists to 1391.
The actions by the Board include placement of five individuals on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List including one who left minors unattended while gambling in a Pennsylvania casino:
A female patron who left her 7-month-old twins in a vehicle in the valet area of Valley Forge Casino Resort for 5 minutes in order to obtain a cash out at the sportsbook.
Actions such as these to deny statewide gambling privileges serve as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended in the parking lot or garage, a hotel, or other venues at a casino since it creates a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment for the children. To complement the efforts by casinos to mitigate this issue, the Board created an awareness campaign, “Don’t Gamble with Kids”.
Additionally, nine others were placed on the Board’s Involuntary Interactive Gaming Exclusion list for fraudulent actions involving online gambling.
The Gaming Control Board is scheduled to meet next at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 in the Board’s Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of the Strawberry Square Complex in Harrisburg. More information, including the agenda, will be posted on the Board’s website prior to the meeting.

EUROMAT Re-elects Jason Frost as President

On May 22, 2025, the European Gaming and Amusement Federation (EUROMAT) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Brussels, Belgium, where members unanimously re-elected Jason Frost as President and Uwe Christiansen as First Vice-President. Karoly Buzás from the Romanian Slot Operators’ Association (ROMSLOT) has been elected as Treasurer of the association.
“I am very proud that our members have once again placed their trust in me, our Vice-President, and our new Treasurer for another term. EUROMAT is thriving with an expanding membership and a clear sense of mission: to make the business environment better for our industry” Jason Frost said.
“One important issue that we need to tackle is the rapid growth of the illegal market. There is not enough focus from regulators on this problem. Illegal gambling channels are proliferating at an alarming rate which makes a mockery of licensing regimes and puts players at risk. We will be pressing the case for tangible initiatives from authorities to get on top of this problem,” Jason Frost added.
The AGM also ratified Damien McCoy of the Irish Amusement Trades Association (IATA) and Bernhard Teuchman of the Spanish association Club de Convergentes as Executive Board Members. In addition, it welcomed the Association of Organizers of Gambling Games and Activities in Bulgaria (AOGGAB) as a new Association Member, along with Aristocrat and Sigma as new Corporate Members.
