Live streaming game provider awarded supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority with operator deals and new market launches to follow

Livespins, the live-streaming game provider that sits within the casino lobby, is now the proud holder of a supplier license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

Securing MGA approval is a milestone moment for the award-winning Livespins, which can now offer its socially-charged Bet With Streamers game to operators licensed by the regulator.

This significantly increases Livespins’ addressable audience both in terms of the number of operators it can work with and the markets it can enter.

Livespins has transformed the online casino space with its Bet With Streamers game, which allows operators to tap into the huge demand for streaming content.

Not only do players get to watch streamers fire up the reels on blockbuster slots from the biggest studios, but they can also bet with the streamers.

This creates a group bet and a shared experience but with each player able to select their own bet and number of spins. If the streamer wins, they win. It’s that simple.

Social engagement is at the heart of the Livespins experience with players able to chat with the streamer and each other throughout – they can even drop reactions, emojis and gifs.

This helps to build a community around Bet With Streamers and also the operator’s brand, allowing online casinos to unlock unprecedented retention rates as players keep coming back for more.

Because Livespins sits within the casino lobby, players are given all of the responsible gambling and safe gaming tools required under the operator’s local and international licences.

Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “We are thrilled to have secured a supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority which is a testament to the quality of the product and experience we provide, and how it aligns with the regulator’s goals regarding responsible gambling.

“Malta licences are highly valued, allowing suppliers to engage with a large number of operators in markets across the world. With our licence in hand, we will now be striking deals with tons of MGA operators and taking the Livespins revolution to even more markets across the world.”
