Spin Games and High 5 win Connecticut gaming licences
The gaming suppliers will be allowed to enter the regulated sports betting market, which is expected to open before the end of 2021.
US.- Gaming suppliers Spin Games and High 5 Games have become the first companies to be granted online gaming service provider licences by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. The licences allow the companies to enter the newly regulated sports betting market, which is expected to open before the end of this year.
The opening will give Spin Games the opportunity to bring its ROC Remote Gaming Server platform and online content via state-approved online gaming operators. High 5 Games expects to bring its Rapid Rewards, an in-game rewards product, to Connecticut players.
Spin Games CEO and chairman Kent Young said: “We are pleased to announce that we’ve received a Connecticut Online Gaming Service Provider license, enabling us to support North America’s newest soon-to-launch i-Gaming market.
“This key regulatory approval confirms the ongoing strength of our company’s online gaming products and adds to our growing list of licensed jurisdictions including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and British Columbia, and our provisional license in Michigan.”
High 5 Games CEO Tony Singer commented: “Connecticut is a brand-new iGaming market for everyone. And with our license to supply casino games, we’re thrilled to be able to entertain players there in a whole new way, and support our key operators as they expand into new markets.”
Sports betting is close to launching in Connecticut. The US Bureau of Indian Affairs has given final approval to changes to the state’s current gaming compacts with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe.
