Wazdan – the popular iGaming software provider – just signed a partnership agreement with the online US betting platform Fanatics Studio to roll out its casino gaming portfolio across three separate US states. In New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, players can now access Wazdan’s popular game library.
Key Points to Consider:
- Wazdan’s gaming portfolio rolled out simultaneously in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania recently.
- Players from New Jersey can access Wazdan’s comprehensive portfolio of 58 games to date, while players from Pennsylvania and Michigan can currently enjoy up to 3 of Wazdan’s most popular games.
- Fanatics Casino is available via Android, iOS and the web app in Virginia as well, in addition to the new US States, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
The Significance of This Partnership
Fanatics Casino is an online gaming platform active in four US states: New Jersey, Virginia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The online casino division continues to expand its content offering. This strategic partnership with Wazdan strengthens Fanatics’ gaming library by adding titles from a recognised provider. Wazdan also gains increased visibility and access to key regulated US markets. Kieron Shaw, Senior Content Manager at Fanatics, commented:
Partnering with Wazdan helps us expand our casino offerings with games that have a proven track record of driving player engagement. We are excited to see the response to these games and proud to offer them across multiple states through both Fanatics’ Sportsbook and Casino apps.
Our Historic Simultaneous Triple-State Launch
Wazdan’s gaming lineup went live in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey at the same time. This is certainly a historic moment, as it’s the first time that the company has been able to simultaneously execute a multi-state launch within the United States.
The integration went on smoothly, which goes to show the ongoing synergy between Wazdan’s and Fanatics’ teams. This is great news for the players as well, as technical glitches in the future are expected to be resolved more quickly with more robust support.
Fanatics introduced 58 of Wazdan’s most popular titles in New Jersey, while players from Michigan and Pennsylvania were afforded access to 3 top-tier games from the developer, namely Hot Slot: 777 Crown, Magic Spins, and 9 Coins Grand Gold Edition. An additional seven games are lined up for a future Michigan release, while Pennsylvania is slated to get six titles shortly. Bekki D’Agate, the Commercial Director at Wazdan, affirmed,
The triple-state launch with Fanatics Casino marks a major milestone for us in the United States. Going live simultaneously in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan is a first for Wazdan, and it’s a testament to the strength of our partnership and our commitment to this key market.
The Road Ahead for Wazdan in the United States
This partnership highlights Wazdan’s broader expansion plans for the regulated American iGaming market. The company first acquired the Danish gambling license in 2024 and later signed a key deal with Rush Street Interactive in September of the same year to introduce its portfolio to Pennsylvanian players.
The US markets are booming with states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey leading the charts, and they offer a safer online gambling environment by introducing regulations that prioritise player safety while allowing developers to grow and offer more innovative titles to explore. Next, the company plans to enter West Virginia and other neighbouring US states as the regulations continue to evolve.
