Big Daddy Gaming® continues European expansion with MGA licence approval
Pioneering slots studio Big Daddy Gaming® has secured a B2B supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), marking another major step in the studio’s strategy to build a strong, regulation-first presence across Europe’s most established markets.
This accreditation enables Big Daddy Gaming to supply its growing portfolio of slot titles to MGA-licensed operators, significantly expanding the studio’s addressable market and supporting its ongoing commercial rollout across regulated territories.
The approval follows Big Daddy Gaming’s recent acquisition of Swedish regulatory approval from the Swedish Gambling Authority. It comes amid a period of strong early momentum for the newly launched studio, with several partnerships already secured with established operators and aggregators, underlining the provider’s commitment to supporting long-term relationships with tier-one brands.
Representing a key pillar in Big Daddy Gaming’s market entry strategy, the studio has ensured its technology, games and operational processes are aligned with one of Europe’s strictest regulators.
The licence also supports the continued rollout of Big Daddy Gaming’s debut titles, which are built around the studio’s core creative philosophy of Reel Fun. Real Value., combining familiar, player-friendly mechanics with a humorous twist, designed to deliver strong engagement and clear commercial performance for operators.
The MGA approval marks a pivotal moment in Big Daddy Gaming’s early commercial journey, reinforcing its positioning as a new studio committed to regulation, reliability and sustainable growth as it expands its footprint across Europe’s regulated markets.
Erland Hellström, CEO at Big Daddy Gaming®, said: “Securing our MGA licence is an important step for us as we continue to build Big Daddy Gaming® with regulation at the forefront. From day one, our focus has been on creating a studio that operators can trust, both creatively and operationally.
“Malta is one of the most respected regulatory environments in the industry, and achieving this approval reflects the work our team has put into building compliant, market-ready slots. Combined with our recent progress in Sweden, it gives us a strong platform to continue scaling our content with confidence.”
