Yesterday, June 29, Push Gaming, a B2B gaming supplier based in London, UK, signed a content distribution agreement with Estonia-based Chanz, to extend its presence in Estonia, Sweden and Denmark. The agreement includes the official integration of Push Gaming’s entire portfolio on the Chanz platform.
Goals of the partnership:
With this partnership, Push Gaming hopes to further extend its footprint in the aforementioned Estonia, Sweden and Denmark and introduce its latest content to a brand-new audience. Examples of content that will be hosted on the Chanz platform include: recent hits like Dino P.D. and Giga Jar, together with already well-loved hits such as Fat Rabbit and Jammin’ Jars.
Moreover, this agreement comes on the heels of similar deals with big operators such as Pokerstars, Sky Bet and ComeOn Group, with Push continuing to solidify its international presence thanks to its focused commercial development.
Commenting on the partnership, Fiona Hickey, Director of New Business and Markets at Push Gaming said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Chanz. The social focus of its operations aligns with our distinctive portfolio and player-led mentality. Expanding our footprint across three Nordic markets simultaneously means that more players than ever before will have access to some of our most highly regarded and industry-defining titles. I’m sure our games will prove very popular with their players.”
On the other hand, Chanz will enjoy the popularity that comes with combining its portfolio with top content created by Push Gaming that is fully customized and tailored to meet its needs and expectations, which means that in the future we can expect the company to further strengthen its presence across the Nordic region and expand its portfolio. It will also improve player commitment by adding new, unseen content to its portfolio.
Nichlas Erola, Games Manager at Chanz, added: “Players across Europe are drawn to our casino because of the social aspects available to them, alongside the breadth of high-quality content that they can engage with. Partnering with Push Gaming represents a milestone within our content provision, as we now offer some of the market’s most revered, award-winning titles for players to enjoy.”

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.
