Game developer Air Dice Group has received a B2B license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Approval gives the company the green light to enter the North American region and continue to extend its reach.
Air Dice Partner & Chief Business Development Officer Erkki Nikunen said that the company is thrilled to gain this license so soon.
Nikunen commented, "We have just come back from ICE London, which was a highly successful show for Air Dice and our team, and we are delighted to have attained the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario B2B license. Air Dice as a business has expanded across multiple regulated jurisdictions throughout 2023.
“The Ontario license is a further example of our business commitment to regulatory compliance and the exemplary standards of our games and responsible gambling technology and focus as a company as we look to expand our business in North America."
Expansion into North America will give players throughout the region access to Air Dice’s portfolio of titles including Wild Shifter, Gunslinger Legends: Bounty Hunter, Flaming Bombs and Fire Lion.
In related news, AGCO recently awarded Booming Games with a B2B license, giving the company the green light to enter the commercial market and distribute its content to operations throughout the province.
Booming Games said that it “remains committed to upholding the highest standards of regulatory compliance and responsible gaming practices.”
With the approval, Booming Games is among the initial group of iGaming providers to receive an Ontario license.
The Ontario regulated sports betting and online gaming market went live in April 2022 and is the first Canadian province to offer fully legal iGaming to its residents. Currently, it is the only province that offers regulated iGaming to its residents. We found out more in a previous issue of Gaming America.
