Bragg Gaming subsidiary will send content to operators in Greece.

Bragg Gaming Group on Monday said its wholly-owned subsidiary ORYX Gaming was granted a license by the Hellenic Gaming Commission.

Under the agreement, terms of which were not announced, ORYX will supply its exclusive content via its proprietary remote games server to operators in Greece.

Toronto-based Bragg said ORYX now is live and fully compliant in the jurisdiction, which has moved from an interim framework to become fully regulated, in line with a general trend among European countries in recent years.

The A1 license enables ORYX to supply its Greek licensed customers, including OPAP, Stoiximan, Betsson and NetBet, with more online casino brands expected to go live in the market via the company’s ORYX Hub distribution platform this year.

“Greece has the potential to become an important market for the group and this license underpins our commitment to our customers in the jurisdiction and represents a new milestone for us in our plans for expansion in regulated markets in Europe, North America and globally,” Chris Looney, chief commercial officer at Bragg, said in a statement. “Our technology is flexible, and it gives us the agility to adapt quickly to new market regulations, and we look forward to launching in many more new markets over the coming quarters with our in-house developed content, our player engagement tools and exclusive third-party content.

“We have a superb new roadmap of exclusive games coming up, including an increasing proportion from our own in-house studios, and we can't wait to bring them to Greek slots fans,” Looney added.

ORYX already is licensed in Malta and Romania, and otherwiseis certified or approved to offer its content in multiple jurisdictions, including Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Croatia, Serbia, Switzerland, Gibraltar, Estonia, Latvia, Colombia and, once the market opens as anticipated in Q4 2021, the Netherlands.

The company said it is in the process of obtaining further licenses in the UK, Belgium and in the US states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan, and is in the process of obtaining certification to supply in Italy.

Since its inception in 2018, Bragg has grown to include operations across Europe, North America and Latin America, and is expanding in the global online gaming market.

Nevada-based Wild Streak Gaming is Bragg's wholly owned premium US gaming content studio. Wild Streak has a portfolio of casino games that are offered across land-based, online and social casino operators in global markets including the US and UK.

In May 2021, Bragg announced its planned acquisition of Nevada-based Spin Games, B2B gaming technology and content provider currently servicing the US market. Spin holds licenses in key online gaming-regulated US states and supplies Tier 1 operators in the region.
