3 Oaks Gaming Receives UKGC License

3 Oaks Gaming has received a UKGC license and that means that over 50 of their top games will have been certified and will reach a greater audience. If you're a fan of popular slots like 3 Pots of Egypt, Hawaii Riches, and Storm of Olympus, then you'll love this news. Best of all, you can expect to see these games to appear at leading online casinos along with other 3 Oaks games in the near future.

According to the 3 Oaks Gaming managing director, Sebastian Damian, securing certification from the UKGC is a landmark and it showcases the company's commitment to not only delivering high quality games, but also their focus on growth and expansion. He also stated that the UK market is one of the most competitive and he is delighted to be able to bring 3 Oaks Gaming slots to UK based players.

3 Oaks Gaming has recently teamed up with a number of operators to expand its growth including Betclic in Portugal and Rush Street Interactive in the Latin American Market. Is 2025 going to be the year where we see their slots reach global heights? It's off to a promising start.

Spinomenal Debuts in the US with New Jersey Launch

Spinomenal is continuing to expand as a global online casino games provider and in January 2025, they announced that the company will debut in the United States. The games will go live in New Jersey thanks to a collaboration with Pariplay's Fusion and there is great excitement surrounding it.

Spinomenal's CEO, Lior Shvartz stated that after a decade of positioning the company as a leading games provider, they will now be providing content at top USA online casinos in New Jersey after receiving approval from the DGE. With this, you can expect to find popular titles like Majestic Wild Buffalo and Kitsune's Scroll available for real money play at online casino in New Jersey.

Spinomenal games like Egyptian Marvel are also available in Italy after the company joined forces with Betflag. If the New Jersey expansion proves successful, we could see Spinomenal expand even further as 2025 plays out.

Hawaii Gets Ready to Legalize Gambling with Multiple New Bills Introduced

For a number of years now, Hawaii has been deliberating on whether or not to legalize online gambling. There have been multiple attempts but so far nothing has come about. Many Hawaiians were wary of revenue being taken from the state and attempts in the past by DraftKings and FanDuel were a failure. It does however look like things could be about to change.

It looks like state legislature is going to debate a number of bills that will lay the groundwork for the legislation of casino and sports gambling. There are 3 bills currently being filed. The first is SB1572 which states that sport betting is a common activity and argues that residents in the state take part in illegal online sports betting on unregulated sites every year. The bill calls for a Sports Wagering Commission to be established.

Two other bills have also been filled. HB1308 and SB1569 also look to legalize sports betting and they both lay out plans for regulated gambling in Hawaii. They also include licensing conditions and include an initial licensing fee of $250,000. The bills also want to have a minimum betting age of 21.

As further updates come to light and we see the progression or stalling of these new legal online gambling bills, we will update all our readers.
