Aristocrat granted Nevada licence
Nevada Gaming Commission also awards licence to player identification service provider GambleID
Aristocrat has been granted an online poker licence in Nevada and has become the latest service provider to have its application approved by the state Gaming Commission.
The Sydney-based has signed an agreemeent with Amaya to offer Ongame poker software, and will now look to secure a partnership with a licensed online poker operator in Nevada.
The deal enables the gaming supplier to integrate the Ongame product in its freeplay nLive platform and provide a real-money version where US regulation permits. This week Aristocrat also announced an agreement to provide NYX Gaming Group with slots for regulated European markets.
Las Vegas-based geolocation and player identification service provider GambleID also received a licence at yesterday’s meeting, becoming the 23rd company to secure a licence. The firm’s successful application follows that of SecureTrading, an ID verification, geolocation and payment processing service provider which was approved last month.
Several operators have been granted a licence in Nevada during the last 12 months, including Caesars and Boyd, with Gibraltar-licensed operator 888 the most recent, securing approval in March.
