BF Games, the dynamic games development studio, has reinforced its ambitious growth plans for North America after receiving a licence in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Being awarded the supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) will allow BF Games to offer its portfolio of slots to licensed operators in the province.

The licence marks an important step for the studio which has announced its intentions to enter regulated markets in North America as part of its commercial expansion.

Ontario’s online market has rapidly grown since it opened last year with an increasing number of operators now licensed in the province, the most populous one in Canada.

BF Games’ high-quality slots portfolio has proven successful in Europe and the studio is confident the games will perform well with North American audiences.

Wiktor Grabarczyk, Head of Legal at BF Games, said: “We are thrilled to be awarded a licence by the AGCO, as being able to enter this highly promising market is a great milestone for us. We look forward to working with locally licensed operators in Ontario and introducing our content to players in the province.

“North America will be a focus for us going forward and with the huge potential in the region, we have high hopes it will soon play a crucial part in our business strategy.”

BF Games, the dynamic games development studio, has partnered with consultancy firm SCCG Management to facilitate its entry into North American markets.

The partnership will see SCCG work in close collaboration with BF Games to maximise the studio’s commercial efforts and reach in regulated US states, as it plans to launch its slot portfolio in the region.

SCCG, a US consultancy that specialises in the iGaming industry, will manage games certificates for BF Games across different states and source commercial opportunities to optimise the studio’s business plans in the lucrative North American markets.

BF Games’ high-quality slots portfolio has proven successful in Europe and the studio is confident it will perform well with North American audiences. The supplier’s best performing titles will initially be launched, with a plan to later introduce localised content, tailored for US player preferences.

The partnership marks the beginning of BF Games’ investment into North America and follows a period of significant growth in European markets.

Ewa Kazmierska, CEO at BF Games, said: “We are excited to partner with SCCG as we set sail on this exciting growth journey into North American markets. SCCG’s local expertise and know-how is indisputable and will be vital as we establish our brand and product offering in the market.

“Coming from Poland and the UK with a focus on engineering and product development, we feel SCCG’s market reach and business approach will bring massive value to BF Games, and together we’ll achieve increased market efficiencies through new dynamic synergies.”

Stephen A. Crystal, Founder of SCCG Management, said: “SCCG Management prides itself in aligning with best-in-class content providers and platforms for entry into the US igaming and sports betting marketplace.

“BF Games combines all of these elements in one company offering and we are proud to be their partner.”
