Evolution Gaming secures South African licence

Evolution Gaming has been awarded a licence to deliver its products to licensed gaming operators in South Africa’s online gambling market.

The live casino solutions provider has secured its National Manufacturer licence from the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB) which will allow it, and its recently acquired subsidiary Ezugi, to deliver products for operator clients.

Elsewhere, Evolution secured a contract with Groupe Partouche to provide online live casino services to the regulated Swiss market, which will launch later this year.

Martin Carlesund, group CEO at Evolution, said: “We are delighted to have received this licence and look forward to opening up our world-leading live dealer games portfolio to operators and players in South Africa.

“Thanks in large part to the great experience already gained in this market by our Ezugi subsidiary, we are entering a really exciting new vertical in this region.”

Kfir Kugler, CEO and founder of Ezugi, added: “There is long-term potential in the regulated South African market to deliver Evolution-powered live dealer games and fixed odds solutions to operators.”
