In the first three months of 2020, LeoVegas has migrated twelve brands to its popular proprietary technical platform. LeoVegas AB is one of the most popular providers of mobile and online casino games. This is a Sweden-based company whose iGaming platform is packed with video poker games, progressive jackpot games, and all other types of online casino games. Today, it operates in the United Kingdom as well as across many other international markets.

The LeoVegas AB company was founded in 2011 in Sweden by Gustaf Hagman and Robin Ramm-Ericson. Some of its most notable products include its LeoVegas Casino, LeoVegas Sportsbook, and LeoVegas Live Casino which are available to customers across Europe. The company’s founders base LeoVegas on the powers of mobile gaming. Today, the company employs over nine hundred individuals which makes it one of the biggest mobile and online gaming firms in Europe and the biggest one when it comes to mobile casinos.

The most prominent iGaming platform LeoVegas-com went live eight years ago and ever since, it has been recognized as the most prominent, leading name especially when it comes to being innovative. In addition to its main office in Stockholm, LeoVegas also has offices in Poland, the United Kingdom, and Italy. Its online sports betting and casino gaming products are all regulated and licensed by the MGA or Malta gaming Authority while in the United Kingdom, LeoVegas operates in compliance with the requirements posed by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission.

Pink Casino, 21.co.uk and Bet UK Moved to the Platform

When it comes to the company’s latest business move which involves migrating twelve brands to its technical platform, these brands operate in the United Kingdom under the name of Rocket X. Some of these brands which are affected include Pink Casino, 21.co.uk,and Bet UK which once moved to the platform will most certainly offer better user experience as they will work alongside a more efficient as well as more focused business model.

Moreover, as the migration of those twelve brands is completed, LeoVegas can offer a better user experience to all of its customers thanks to a significantly expanded game offering as well as more banking options. Before making this decision, LeoVegas acquired all of the IPS assets which are now known as Rocket X. At the time, IPS operated via third-party platforms while today the situation is different as all of the operations take place within the LeoVegas proprietary technical platform. This also means that LeoVegas has control over all operations and technologies used by the brands. Needless to say, this move will significantly reduce operational complexity.

Enriched Online Gaming Opportunities

Besides significantly reducing operational complexity, the migration of the twelve brands will also boost online casino gaming choices. In other words, LeoVegas will now offer online casino games which are rarely found elsewhere crafted by prominent third-party online casino games providers. At the same time, the migration also brings significantly expanded functionalities which essentially make it easier for all customers to navigate across different departments when gaming.

Commenting on the news, LeoVegas CEO Gustaf Hagman said that this migration is a major milestone for this company especially for the Group’s technology organization as well as for all employees. According to the company’s CEO, the process of migration was completed as expected in a relatively short time which represents another LeoVegas success.

As reported several days ago, the Dutch Gambling Authority or KSA has fined one of the leading online casino operators LeoVegas alongside its popular subsidiary Royal Panda for providing their gambling services and products to players residing in the Netherlands. The LeoVegas operator was fined €350K while its subsidiary was fined €400K.

Before making their ultimate decision on the issue, the Dutch Gambling Authority’s officials carefully investigated both sites and soon found that both LeoVegas and Royal Panda were fully open to customers residing in the Netherlands who played at the sites from their Dutch IP addresses. Moreover, it was also found out that both sites allowed customers to use the iDEAL payment system for gaming here.

Because online gambling is fully prohibited in the Netherlands, this is a big issue for the operators. Even though online gambling is prohibited in the country, applications for gaming licensing are currently being accepted as the Dutch Senate has recently approved a crucial Remote Gaming Bill which will finally allow fully regulated and licensed gaming within the country’s borders.

Netherlands’ Regulated Online Gaming Market to Start by 2021

Thanks to the Dutch Senate passing a Remote Gaming Bill, the country will probably have a fully regulated online gambling market by 2021. When it comes to LeoVegas’s fine, the company’s officials are considering to appeal this fine. Commenting on the news, the company’s spokesperson stated that the company can submit a fine appeal as they wait for upcoming regulatory reforms to be fully enforced and as they wait for the licensing process to starts.

It should be noted that Roya Panda and LeoVegas are not the very first companies facing this issue and being fined by the Dutch Gambling Authority. Back in February of this year, the 1xBet operator was also fined around €400K for offering its online gaming products to the Netherlands residents. Then, in September, The Stars Group was also forced to pay the same fine after the KSA discovered that the company was operating without any license. Another investigation by the KSA discovered that PokerStars.eu was visited by more than 33,000 players from the Netherlands.

Empire Resorts Limited Hit with a Lawsuit Filled by Minority Shareholders

Another company that is facing legal issues is the firm that operates the popular Resorts World Catskills casino facility, Empire Resorts Incorporated. As it was revealed recently, the company has been hit with a serious lawsuit filed by several of its minority shareholders over claims that Empire Resorts Incorporated plans on going private despite the wishes of several of its minority shareholders.

According to one Times Herald-Record’s report, the lawsuit against the company was initiated by David Mullen with Sullivan County, which is a branch of the Supreme Court of New York. The main purpose of this lawsuit as stated by Mr. Mullen is to halt a business deal which could potentially see Genting Malaysia Berhad acquire all of the USA-based company’s shares for a price of $9.74 for a single share.

The same newspaper which revealed this news also detailed that the lawsuit by Mr. Mullen is also seeking immediate class-action status while it names the company’s board members including Edmund Marinucci, Gerard Ewe Keng Lim, Nancy Palumbo, Keith Horn, and Emanuel Pearlman as main defendants. Furthermore, the legal action lists several majority stakeholders including Genting Malaysia Berhad and Kien Huat Realty III as the proceeding’s subjects. Before this news, it was reported that Genting Malaysia Berhad and Kien Huat Realty III already own around 86% of the Empire Resorts Incorporated’s shares while they have agreed to purchase the remaining shares held by minority stakeholders in August against wishes of the company’s minority shareholders.
