Integration Strengthens Expanse’s Position in South America’s Largest iGaming Market
Expanse Studios has announced a strategic partnership with ESA Gaming, a European aggregation platform that specializes in mobile-first gaming content and multi-jurisdictional distribution. This partnership is seen as a significant step in Expanse Studios' efforts to expand in Europe and enhances Golden Matrix Group's broader B2B distribution objectives. The agreement will allow Expanse’s proprietary content to be available through ESA Gaming’s operator network.
ESA Gaming operates a comprehensive Game Aggregator System (GAS) and serves over 90 content providers across various European markets. The platform has obtained certifications in several regions, including Malta, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Colombia, and Brazil. It holds a Malta Gaming Authority B2B license (MGA/B2B/650/2018) and focuses on content delivery through a single technical integration, along with custom content offerings via its OpenSlots “no code” game builder.
According to Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios, “ESA Gaming represents an established European aggregator with proven multi-jurisdictional capabilities and strong operator relationships across our priority markets. This partnership provides immediate Malta market access while establishing the technical and regulatory framework for further entries into the EU market. Our focus remains on building systematic European distribution through partnerships with aggregators and operators that demonstrate regional expertise and regulatory compliance capabilities.”
For Expanse Studios, this collaboration with ESA Gaming facilitates a multi-jurisdictional distribution infrastructure across significant regulated markets in Southern Europe. ESA Gaming’s leading markets—Italy, Portugal, Greece, and Brazil—are aligned with Expanse’s expansion goals, as these regions have regulatory frameworks that support sustainable B2B operations and allow certified content providers to maintain their competitive edge.
