The Alderney Gambling Control Commission has issued three interactive gaming licences, under The Gambling (Interactive Gaming) (Alderney) Ordinance, 2001, as amended, to the following three applicant companies and its key personnel:
Ritz Interactive Ltd, a subsidiary of The Ritz Club based in The Ritz Hotel, London, is delighted to have received an Internet Gaming Licence from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. “We very much look forward to working with the Commission to launch an online casino under The Ritz Club brand.” stated Kelly Moulton, Chief Executive Officer of Ritz Interactive Ltd. We are pleased to be working with André Wilsenach within the stable regulatory environment provided by the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the States of Alderney.” Sportech plc is the holding company for Littlewoods Leisure, the UK gaming company. A spokesperson said : “Sportech is developing the Littlewoods gaming and leisure business, utilising new channels of distribution to bring more games to more players in the home, capitalising on the strength of the Littlewoods brand, namely its association with the values of trust and integrity.” WagerWorks,
Inc. develops and markets a complete Internet gaming solution which
enables established casino companies in regulated markets to leverage their
market position and brand equity online. As a veteran of the traditional
casino industry, WagerWorks has adhered to the highest standards imposed
by the U.S. regulatory authorities. Founded in April of 2000 by Silicon
Gaming, Inc., the company has implemented a broad line of products with
unparalleled integrity and unmatched quality, including the Odyssey slot
machine and accompanying library of innovative game titles. “We consider
Alderney's compliance and technical standards to be among the best of the
fully regulated interactive jurisdictions, and are very pleased that the
Alderney Gambling Commission has granted WagerWorks a license for interactive
gaming," said Paul Matthews, vice president of government affairs for WagerWorks.
"As one of the only technology and content suppliers to have secured interactive
gambling licences in two of the world's most highly regulated online gaming
jurisdictions, WagerWorks continues its commitment to be the most compliant
provider of online gaming solutions for established operators in fully
regulated markets."
These
are the first three online gaming licences to be issued . Several more
applications for online gaming and electronic gambling licences are currently
being processed and are expected to be issued shortly. In response to the
keen interest and growing number of applications, the States of Alderney
took the decision at last month’s States Meeting to remove the capping
as to the number of electronic gambling or interactive gaming licences
to be issued. States Member John Postlethwaite said that “Alderney
has gained worldwide recognition for a highly regulated gambling industry
and as a result we are attracting reputable businesses who will only operate
within a well-regulated environment.”
