Through the deal that NetEnt tags as another step in increasing its footprint in New Jersey, a large selection of its casino games will launch in the upcoming weeks, becoming available to Draftkings players.

“We are very excited to have landed a deal with DraftKings. As the world leader in fantasy sports, with a large player base they will add a new dimension to the market and we are confident that their players will enjoy our popular games,” said Erik Nyman, Managing Director NetEnt Americas LLC.

NetEnt, through its subsidiary NetEnt Americas LLC, applied for a Casino Service Industry Enterprise license in the US state of New Jersey in 2015. In September 2015, NetEnt obtained a transactional waiver by the NJDGE, granting the right to supply online casino games in New Jersey while the full license application was being reviewed. NetEnt in February received its first online gaming license in the US issued by the NJDGE.

“We are very pleased to obtain our first permanent online gaming license in the US. We have been present in New Jersey since 2015 and have supported the regulator throughout the licensing process. The license marks yet another step in our US expansion as we hope to enter additional states if and when they regulate online casino,“ says Erik Nyman, Managing Director of NetEnt Americas LLC.

NetEnt Americas LLC is a US subsidiary of NetEnt AB (publ). NetEnt is listed on NASDAQ Stockholm (NET–B) and employs 1,000 people in Malta, Stockholm, Kiev, Krakow, Gothenburg, Gibraltar and New Jersey.

“DraftKings is a young and dynamic company that has blazed a trail in recent years with its best-in-class technology and extensive knowledge of sports,” says James Stern, Chief Business Officer responsible for America and Land-based at Evolution Gaming.

“DraftKings was first to market in New Jersey with online sports betting, just a couple of months after filing for its licence with the New Jersey regulators. We very much look forward to working with DraftKings on this project,” he adds.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Boston, MA, DraftKings offers daily fantasy sports contests across 11 professional sports in eight countries including the US, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

The current vendor registration allows GiG to refer website traffic to operators on a Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) basis, starting from Q1 2019. The registration comes after GiG’s media services have been building up portfolio assets to target the United States. The group considers the latest progress as a first step towards monetising those websites and marketing channels.

“New Jersey is an attractive market for affiliation. We are excited to receive our vendor registration, enabling us to start referring traffic to the operators in this jurisdiction,” says Richard Brown, COO of GiG. “It is an exciting opportunity for us; however, we expect the state-by-state legalisation of sports betting to materialise at a slow rate. There is strong competition in the market, but we are confident we can replicate, in the US, the success we have achieved in the highly competitive European markets,” he adds.

Gaming Innovation Group Inc is a technology company providing products and services in the iGaming industry. Founded in 2012, GiG operates out of Malta and is listed in the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GiG.
