The UK Gambling Commission has awarded GoWild, the European online gaming operator, a remote gambling operating licence, enabling it to open its virtual doors to the country’s gambling market.
As the UK is one of the largest interactive gambling markets in the world, obtaining the licence is a welcome achievement for the operator and a “point of great pride,” it said.
It is also a marked step forward in the company’s overall goals of further expanding into regulated gaming markets.
This achievement follows the opening of the company’s Maltese offices, further expansion in the Nordic markets and migrating over a decade’s worth of business from Microgaming to GoWild’s in-house Hero gaming system.
Itai Zak, CEO at GoWild, said: “With a strong focus on expanding in regulated markets, licensing by the UK Gambling Commission is welcome news.
“The UK is one of the biggest, oldest and most respected gaming communities in the world and operating there will allow us to increase our exposure, reach new audiences and improve the local gaming experience. We look forward to opening our virtual doors in the UK and successfully serving the local gaming needs.”
