The joint venture between the US casino giant MGM and the UK’s FTSE listed GVC Holdings, Roar Digital, has been awarded and granted a license to operate in New Jersey.
In a press release issued by GVC Holdings earlier on today, the UK Group announced that they have also received the required regulatory approvals for themselves to operate in the state of Nevada for an initial two-year period.
The NGC approvals clear the way for Roar Digital, to receive its licence to offer online betting and online gaming (currently limited to poker) within Nevada on a B2C and B2B basis, while the transactional waiver from the DGE enables Roar Digital to offer sports betting and online gaming products within New Jersey.
Commenting on the news, Kenneth Alexander the CEO of GVC said: “I am delighted the Nevada Gaming Commission has confirmed that GVC meets its stringent regulatory requirements in order to offer betting and gaming products in the state.
“Coming at the same time as Roar Digital receives a transactional waiver to operate in New Jersey, GVC and our MGM joint venture are hitting important milestones which pave the way for the creation of a market leading US betting and gaming business.”
