Sportech secures Alderney licence
Application had covered the operator's Vernons and Littlewoods brands.
Power 50 operator Sportech has been awarded an Alderney egaming licence for its Vernons and Littlewoods brands.
The company’s chairman Roger Withers had revealed at last week’s annual general meeting that first-quarter egaming revenues had risen 30% year-on-year following the migration of the Littlewoods brand to Playtech’s platform.
Poker and casino offerings under the Vernons brand also contributed to the increase, while the company’s bingo offering is the next to be migrated over, with the integration of all non-sportsbook products to Playtech to be completed by the end of the year.
Sportech has received both a Category 1 and Category 2 licence, covering “the organisation and preparation of gambling operations” and “the effecting of the gambling transaction including operational management of a gambling platform located within an approved hosting centre” respectively.
Meanwhile O.M.I. AB, the company behind mobile gaming operator OMIgaming, has become the latest entity to submit a licence application with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. It is hoping to obtain a Core Services Associate Certificate.
