Relax Gaming enters US with landmark New Jersey approval

Relax Gaming has rolled out its games for the first time in the United States after securing a transactional waiver from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.

The New Jersey approval marks a significant milestone for the company, allowing it to go live in the state with BetMGM as part of its North American expansion plans.

The first games to go live with BetMGM in New Jersey include The Great Pigsby and Epic Joker.

“Launching in New Jersey is a landmark moment for our company,” said Relax Gaming CEO Simon Hammon. “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 chief regulatory officer Alexia Smilovic Ronde commented: “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.

“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."

BetMGM vice president of gaming product and content, Oliver Bartlett, 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.”
