Kambi Group plc obtains Swedish B2B gambling permits
Five-year permits solidify Kambi’s position as a trusted partner to licensed operators within the regulated Swedish sports betting market
Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the world’s trusted sports betting partner, has secured B2B gambling permits to continue providing its market-leading sports betting technology and services to licensed operators in Sweden.
The permits, announced last week by the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen), will enable Kambi to continue to power some of the market’s leading sportsbook operators for a further five years effective from 1 July 2023.
A new gambling bill was passed last year requiring gambling suppliers to obtain new permits to service licensed operators in Sweden in an effort to reduce the size of the black market and improve channelisation.
Kambi, which is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm, Sweden, is currently live in more than 50 regulated markets and derived 94% of revenue in 2022 from markets with local regulatory frameworks.
David Carter, Chief Legal Officer at Kambi, said: “We are pleased to have obtained the necessary B2B gambling permits for Sweden which, given Kambi’s heritage, has long been one of our most important markets.
“This further showcases our commitment to upholding the utmost standards of compliance and regulatory requirements which is a cornerstone of Kambi’s success as the world’s leading B2B sportsbook.”
Casino games aggregator St8 has secured a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) remote gambling software licence, as the company continues its strategic expansion into key regulated markets worldwide.
The newly-granted licence means that St8 can now provide its market-leading casino aggregation platform to UK-licensed operators.
The platform has already won plaudits for streamlining integrations and delivering content with speed, simplicity and reliability.
Vladimir Negine, founder and CEO at St8, said: “Securing a UK licence is another major milestone for St8. The UK remains a benchmark for regulation and player protection, and we’re excited to bring our tech-led approach to this mature and competitive market. We’re absolutely committed to supporting our operator partners in regulated markets around the world, and we’re already working on securing additional licences.”
The UKGC licence adds to St8’s growing list of regulated market approvals, which already includes Romania, Malta, and the Isle of Man, with further jurisdictions in progress as part of its broader European and global growth strategy.
St8 partners in the UK and beyond enjoy the industry’s leading back office, built to offer real-time reporting, deeper insights and simple promo management.
