Following the license approvals in the Netherlands, Spain and the home market of Sweden, the fast-growing casino games supplier Gaming Corps is now expanding in Latvia. As the Lotteries and Gambling Supervisory Inspection of the Republic of Latvia has recently approved the developer’s gaming license in the jurisdiction, Gaming Corps can now offer its premium content to Latvian players, as European Gaming reports.
Fast-Pace Expansion:
The Latvian expansion will mark the increased footprint for the provider, but will also facilitate the access of Latvian players to the Gaming Corps’ portfolio of slots featuring a variety of genres and themes. The supplier will reportedly ensure that Crash, Mine, Table and Slot games, as well as a Plinko, reach the players from the jurisdiction. These will also be invited to experience the proven titles, such as Coin Miner, Penalty Champion, Jet Lucky 2 & Raging Zeus.
Exstensive European Presence:
With the enviable history in video games, Gaming Corps has been increasingly focused on the iGaming industry with a representative portfolio of premium casino games rolled out across the rising number of regulated markets. The company reportedly boasts of gaming licenses having already been obtained for the regulated markets of Malta, Sweden, Portugal, Romania, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Greece, Estonia and Latvia.
Latvian Expansion:
Juha Kauppinen, Gaming Corps CEO, reportedly said: “We are delighted to offer our first-class casino games to players in Latvia, as we continue to grow our footprint across regulated markets.”
Kauppinen added: “We have built a reputation for offering a rounded portfolio of games which cater for all our active markets, supporting our customers with the best content for localised player references. We will continue to do this in what is an exciting period of expansion for us, and I look forward to welcoming more partners to the Gaming Corps family.”
Baccarat Supporting Portfolio Diversity:
As a support to the latest expansion of its range of casino games, Gaming Corps has released the card game Baccarat to offer an elegant game play addition to the widely popular casino games offering of the titles like Raging Zeus Mines, Coin Miner 2 and Luke E. Chance and the Book of Luck slot games. The latest launch may have a premiere already in the Latvian market to be distributed across all European jurisdictions featured by the increased Swedish supplier presence.
Gaming Corps Chief Operating Officer, Alex Lorimer reportedly commented: “We offer a diverse games portfolio, and it is a privilege to launch our own take on something we know players enjoy playing, providing the same thrills and entertainment they can experience in a live casino.”
The legal status of online casinos in India is complex and varies by state. While there is no federal law that explicitly addresses online gambling, the legality depends on state regulations and the type of gambling involved.
Key Points:
-
No National Law: India does not have a specific national law regulating online casinos. However, the Public Gambling Act of 1867 prohibits operating physical casinos and gambling houses, but it doesn't cover online platforms, leaving a legal grey area for online gambling.
-
State-Specific Laws: Some Indian states, like Goa, Sikkim, and Daman, have legalized land-based casinos, and others, such as Sikkim, have also licensed online gambling. Many states have banned gambling altogether, including online gambling.
-
Online Sports Betting: Betting on sports, particularly cricket, is very popular in India. However, it's only explicitly legal in some states like Sikkim and Nagaland, which have laws permitting online gaming and betting.
-
Legal Gray Area: Many international online casinos accept Indian players and operate legally under licenses from offshore jurisdictions (like Curacao or the UK Gambling Commission). As long as players are gambling on licensed platforms, the risk is minimal, but local authorities may still choose to regulate or restrict online gambling.
-
Cryptocurrency: Some Indian players prefer using cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) for online gambling, as it provides a layer of anonymity and security.
While online casinos aren't explicitly legal across all of India, many international casinos accept Indian players, and online gambling continues to grow in popularity. Players should ensure they use licensed platforms and understand local laws before engaging in online gaming.
