The joint venture between SkillOnNet and Regency Entertainment has secured an operating license in the Greek market, following approval by the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC).
This strategic move paves the way for the launch of a new online gambling platform, drawing on both companies’ experience in the international iGaming market and the Greek casino market, respectively.
SkillOnNet and Regency will introduce Regency Casino Online, a next-generation digital casino experience. The platform is designed to deliver an innovative, responsible and premium offering by combining SkillOnNet’s iGaming technology with Regency’s longstanding operational excellence in casino management.
The newly granted Type 2 licence from the HGC allows the venture to offer a full suite of online gambling products, including slots, live casino games and other interactive formats to players in Greece.
Regency Entertainment is one of Greece’s leading entertainment companies with a strong tradition, boasting a comprehensive hospitality and entertainment portfolio. This includes the iconic Regency Casino Mont Parnes in Athens and the unique hospitality and entertainment hub in Thessaloniki, comprising the Regency Casino Thessaloniki, the Hyatt Regency Hotel and the Vergina Theatro.
Maor Nutkevitch, SVP Corporate Development at SkillOnNet, says: “The gambling license in Greece marks another significant step for SkillOnNet. This new market for us, combined with Regency’s extensive experience, presents our first opportunity to provide Greek players with services designed to meet their needs for the first time.
“Furthermore, the new license underscores the company’s commitment to expanding into even more regulated gaming markets in Europe and worldwide.”
Giannis Tsirikos, CEO of Regency Entertainment, adds: “From the beginning of our strategic partnership, SkillOnNet and Regency shared a common vision: to offer an innovative entertainment experience to Greek players.
“The issue of the license brings us a step closer to fulfilling this vision, through SkillOnNet’s modern and comprehensive online casino platform, which will serve as the vehicle for delivering a top-tier digital entertainment experience – an experience that reflects the quality of Regency’s land-based venues and services and inspires the trust, transparency and sense of safety that have allowed us to stand out in the preferences of Greek players.”
