Gibraltar

Boldplay has revealed that its complete catalogue of games are now officially certified for release at Gibraltar Licensing Authority regulated casino sites. 

Following the approval of a Gibraltar gaming licence earlier this month, the firm’s 80 plus portfolio of slots, table games, bingo, keno and virtual scratch card titles will become accessible to new players in the region via operators in the country. 

Boldplay’s Founder and CEO, Valli Fragoso, stated: “Having signed a number of significant partnership deals over the past few months, we’re delighted to keep up Boldplay’s strong momentum this year with another good news story for the company and the acquisition of a Gibraltar gaming licence. 

“With Gibraltar effectively being Boldplay’s ‘home’ territory, we’re very excited to be able to showcase our brand on all GLA-regulated casino platforms in the market and are confident that the new licence will unlock further growth opportunities for the company as we continue to expand throughout 2023.”

Having already gained certification from the UK, Portugal, Malta and the Isle of Man to distribute its suite of products, the approval of its first fully-fledged licence will, according the Boldplay, enable the studio to pursue further partnerships in Gibraltar, whilst also introducing its feature and jackpots to a new audience. 

The approval of the licence works in parallel with how Gibraltar’s Gambling Act draft would work. 

Announced in May of last year, the draft stated that licensees could be required to have a “sufficient substantive presence” in Gibraltar. 

Publishing the draft for consultation at the time, the legislation for Gibraltar could see five objectives introduced for the regulation of gambling in the British overseas territory. The consultation period for the consultation paper ended November 30, this period allowed anyone impacted to provide their input. 

The bill has been introduced in Parliament with an update yet to come.
