Backed by GVC Group and MGM Resorts, BetMGM will soon soon to launch NetEnt content in a state that opened the doors to online casinos on July 15. NetEnt recently received a temporary licence from the regulating authorities in West Virginia.

The agreement follows a strong period of growth for NetEnt in the US, after recently reporting triple-digit increases in quarterly gross gaming revenue in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Brian Kraft, NetEnt’s vice president commercial, Americas, said: “BetMGM’s rapid success in the US has been impressive and shows no signs of slowing down, making this a significant deal for our company as we continue to expand across the country.

“Thanks to the strong performance of our games locally, the US is now a major revenue driver for NetEnt and we look forward to working with BetMGM to accelerate growth of both our businesses.”
