DWG has a rich history of developing hit land-based slots for some of the biggest suppliers in the industry, including Novomatic, Aristocrat and IGT. It also operates a number of its own highly successful social casinos.

Andy Harris, UK CEO of DWG, said: “Betfred is one of the best-known names in the industry so it is very exciting for us to sign with them as our first direct integration deal in British real money gaming.

“Our portfolio has already proven itself commercially in both land-based and social casinos, so we are able to provide the very best content to our partners. We look forward to an enjoyable and lengthy partnership with Betfred as a result.”

Andy Horne, Head of eGaming at Betfred, said: “DWG has a portfolio of content that has already been rigorously tested and enjoyed by millions of players. It also has a rich Las Vegas heritage, so the fit of the games for our new Vegas site couldn’t be better.

“We have plans to significantly scale up the number of DWG games in the coming months, so this marks the start of an exciting journey for both of us and we’re delighted to be able to share these games with our customers.”

Meridianbet has successfully advanced to the next stage in Brazil’s exclusive sports betting and iGaming licensing process. The company is one of only 89 operators (from over 600 initial applicants) shortlisted at the federal level by the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. This shortlist grants operators permission to continue offering sports betting and iGaming services nationwide during the adaptation period, which runs until December 31, 2024.
This important step places Meridianbet among an elite group of global operators as Brazil approaches the launch of one of the most highly anticipated gaming markets in the world. With non-listed companies set to be prohibited from offering services starting October 11, 2024, inclusion on this shortlist highlights Meridianbet’s technological excellence, commitment to compliance, and its focus on responsible gambling and strategic market planning.
The company’s proprietary platform, which has undergone rigorous testing, along with its comprehensive marketing strategies and responsible gambling policies, positions it as a key player in the future of Brazil’s gaming industry. The application covers both sports betting and iGaming (online casino) under Brazil’s licensing regime, allowing Meridianbet to provide a full suite of gaming experiences to Brazilian players.
Brazil’s gambling market is forecasted to generate $34 billion in sports betting turnover by 2028, with an onshore gross win of $2.8 billion, according to a report by the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). Unlike the state-by-state regulatory approach in the U.S., this federal-level licensing will grant nationwide access, enabling the company to tap into Brazil’s rapidly growing market and diverse player base.
As part of the Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), Meridianbet is leveraging global expertise and proprietary technology to strengthen its position in Brazil, ensuring it remains at the forefront of this emerging market.
