NetEnt Expands in Virginia with BetMGM

NetEnt, the leading live casino content provider, has signed a partnership with the fast-growing iGaming group BetMGM to further increase its reach in the United States.

With the help of GVC Group and MGM Resorts, BetMGM will soon be launching the developer’s content in West Virginia, which will open the doors to online casinos on July 15. NetEnt recently received a temporary license from the regulating authorities in West Virginia.

This partnership comes after a strong period of growth for NetEnt in the United States, with the company reporting triple-digit increases in quarterly gross gaming revenue in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Accelerating Growth

Representatives from NetEnt, which recently expanded in Malta, say that BetMGM’s success in the United States is impressive and that they are looking forward to working with the brand to accelerate growth.

“BetMGM’s rapid success in the US has been impressive and shows no signs of slowing down, making this a significant deal for our company as we continue to expand across the country. Thanks to the strong performance of our games locally, the US is now a major revenue driver for NetEnt and we look forward to working with BetMGM to accelerate growth of both our businesses,” said Brian Kraft, NetEnt Vice President Commercial, Americas.

Officials from BetMGM, which recently struck a deal with Evolution Gaming, say that they’ve already seen success with their new partner in New Jersey and that they are sure this will serve as a major advantage in strengthening their existing casino offering in West Virginia.

Matthew Sunderland, VP Gaming at BetMGM, said: “We have already seen great success with NetEnt content in New Jersey. Their team really understands what appeals to gaming customers and I am positive this will serve as a major advantage as we strengthen our existing casino offering in West Virginia.”
