"Alderney regulators have worked extremely hard over a number of years to create a center of excellence for the regulation of online gambling," said Robin Le Prevost, Director of eCommerce Development for the Government of Alderney.  "That hard work is amply rewarded when companies of SHFL's caliber elect to be licensed and regulated by Alderney as a key location for their online activities. SHFL joins an ever-growing community of the world's leading online operators and service providers, which has established Alderney as the leading jurisdiction for online gambling. We welcome SHFL and wish them great success with this new venture."

This license will further SHFL's provision of its iGaming business-to-business ("B2B") operations in legal jurisdictions in Europe and also will allow the Company to directly serve its proprietary table games, including Let It Ride, Casino War, Three Card Poker, and Ultimate Texas Hold'em, to its online B2B customers efficiently and effectively. 

"We are excited to expand the reach and exposure of our growing online content portfolio, which includes some of the most compelling table game brands in the world," said Gavin Isaacs, SHFL's Chief Executive Officer.  "By enabling us to house our recently acquired equipment at a data center in Alderney, this license allows us to be physically closer to the data centers of many of the world's leading online gaming operators, resulting in better performance and closer content integration."
