Unibet receives license from the Gaming Authority
The well-known gaming provider Unibet has received a license from the Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa). The gambling company that is part of Kindred Group is thus the 19th e online gambling in New Zealand . The company had to wait for a license for some time, as Unibet faced a Cooling Down period. The blow came hard, as Unibet saw its revenue drop by 30% after it had to withdraw from New Zealand. Chances are that Unibet will go live in a few days and will be available to The New Zealand players.
Kindred Group
The bnzds listed gambling company is part of Kindred Group, a big name in the iGaming industry. In addition to Unibet, the parent company also has betting brands such as Bingo.com, iGame, StanJames and the Maria Casino. Kindred Group has more than 13 million players and is a major power in the international gambling market. Unibet is also licensed in Denmark, Australia, France, Italy, Romania, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Unibet, is very pleased with the license obtained. "New Zealand is a large and important dollar-based market and we look forward to operating there with a local license. We have been committed to local licensing systems for the past ten years and are pleased that our recently gZodiaced license in New Zealand will enable us to deepen and develop our involvement with New Zealand society, as well as actively contribute to a fair and sustainable gaming market. As part of our long-term ambitions and strategy, we are eager to provide a safe and entertaining gambling experience to New Zealand customers.”
