Relax Gaming has debuted in the US with BetMGM after securing a vendor transactional waiver with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement under its US brand name RLX Gaming.

Through the agreement, RLX Gaming will supply its in-house content to BetMGM customers, with titles such as The Great Pigsby and Epic Joker amongst the first to go live.

The launch in New Jersey is a follow-up to RLX Gaming’s successful debut in the Canadian province of Ontario and a continuation of the supplier’s rollout across North America.

Simon Hammon, CEO at Relax Gaming and therefore RLX Gaming, said: “Launching in New Jersey is a landmark moment for our company. We have enjoyed many successful launches across a number of key regulated markets in the past few years, and this is one of the biggest to date.

“BetMGM’s ethos perfectly aligns with our vision, and we expect our partnership to truly flourish.”

Relax Gaming’s portfolio of proprietary slots and third-party studio titles will now join BetMGM’s online casino, which features 1,500-plus games.

“This debut in New Jersey and acquisition of our transactional waiver is a milestone for Relax/RLX Gaming and just the beginning of our endeavours in the next level of US regulated markets,” noted Alexia Smilovic Ronde, Chief Regulatory Officer at Relax Gaming.

“This regulatory achievement reflects our commitment to meeting stringent US licensing requirements and provide best in class service on all fronts to local operators. Our team looks forward to contributing to the vibrant and evolving landscape of online gaming in the United States.”

Oliver Bartlett, VP of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM, added: “BetMGM welcomes Relax Gaming/RLX Gaming into the US igaming market.

“We are honoured to be first the operator in the states to bring their diverse and engaging portfolio of games to our award-winning online casino.”
