St8.io has been granted a recognition notice by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). This approval allows St8.io to operate within the MGA's regulatory framework, expanding its global reach.
The recognition is equivalent to a standard MGA B2B licence and is based on St8.io's existing licence from the Romanian National Gambling Office which was obtained last year.
This development marks the next step in St8.io's growth since its launch less than two years ago. With the MGA's recognition, the company can now provide its platform to operators in MGA-regulated markets around the world, enhancing its ability to support partners in more regions.
Vladimir Negine, St8.io CEO, stated: “This will enable us to provide our platform to operators in MGA-regulated markets worldwide, maintaining the highest levels of player protection along the way. Alongside the licence we received in Romania, we’re now able to support partners in even more markets. Our plan is to continue to expand our licensed footprint in 2024 and beyond.”
In February 2024, St8.io partnered with Betby to offer a single API integration for both casino and sportsbook content. This collaboration enables St8.io’s operator partners to access Betby’s sportsbook through the same API used for casino content, reducing the need for additional integration efforts. The partnership covers over 210,000 monthly events across 125 sports and more than 3,000 betting markets.
