NetEnt obtains license as supplier in British Columbia, Canada
The Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch (GPEB), the gaming regulator in the Canadian province of British Columbia, has approved NetEnt Americas as supplier to the only licensed gaming and lottery operator in the province, British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC).
BCLC is a Crown corporation owned by the province of British Columbia, whose revenues go towards supporting communities, health care and education.

“I am very pleased that we have reached yet another important milestone in our expansion on regulated markets.
