Expanse Studio, the B2B game development division of Golden Matrix Group, has received official certification from Croatia’s Ministry of Finance for its flagship game Super Heli, with additional titles in the company’s 56-game portfolio expected to receive approval in the coming weeks for the EU member state.
The certification marks a strategic entry into a market that generated US$484.70m in 2024, with projected growth at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2024-2030.
Super Heli, Expanse’s most popular crash-style game, becomes the first of the studio’s titles approved for the Croatian market, paving the way for broader portfolio distribution.
Croatia represents a compelling opportunity for B2B gaming suppliers, with the iGaming sector alone worth US$218.10m in 2024. According to iGamingToday’s latest market research, Croatia’s gambling market will reach €720.42m in 2025, making it one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.
Croatia benefits from over 83% internet penetration, 20.6m tourist arrivals (2023) and over 500,000 Croatians are expected to engage in regular online gambling by 2027.
The certification strengthens Expanse’s European footprint at a critical juncture. With 56 proprietary titles and 500+ B2B partners globally, Expanse is expected to capture a meaningful share in the growing EU market.
Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studio, says: “Croatia certification is validation of our content quality and compliance capabilities in demanding EU jurisdictions.
“With our flagship title Super Heli already approved and more games in the pipeline, we are very excited for the opportunities this market brings us.”
