BetGames secures additional set of UKGC licenses

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Live dealer and betting games studio BetGames is ready to greatly expand its operations in the U.K. following multiple new licences issued by the U.K. Gambling Commission (UKGC).

This latest set of UKGC approvals enables BetGames to provide facilities for betting on real events (Betting Host for Real Events), as well as for virtual events (Betting Host for Virtual events). This comes as an addition to BetGames’ existing Gambling Software and Casino Host licenses for the U.K.

Thanks to these latest certifications, BetGames will now be able to deliver its current games portfolio to all licensed U.K. operators, with initial launches to be announced shortly.

The first new product hitting the U.K. market will be BetGames’ highly sought-after Twain Sport – delivering short-form, basketball and football action 24/7.

Unique to the betting industry, Twain Sport has been designed to be the perfect sporting complement for traditional iGaming, offering a high-turnover schedule that boosts both engagement and incremental revenue for operators.

Available in both football and basketball formats, professional athletes compete in one-on-one challenges, with non-stop 60-second matches available every two minutes daily.

Totalling 1,440 matches per day and 43,200 per month, Twain Sport is targeted toward millennial and Gen-Z demographics, in a low-staking, regulation-friendly format.

“Our latest U.K. approvals are going to be an absolute game-changer for us,” said Commenting on the latest UKGC licenses, BetGames’ CEO Andreas Koeberl. “Live since October 2022, Twain Sport has already proven a resounding success having been deployed with 45 operators globally in just six months, as well as 20 more contracts currently under negotiation.
