Following up on the Breakthrough

The breakthrough for NetEnt that paved the way was the transactional waiver. It was granted by the state for to offer its online games in the state for the first time. As an operator originating out of New Jersey, NetEnt launched the Borgata online casino and bwin.party in New Jersey to become an online entity under state law.

The expansion of NetEnt is quite vital to the industry, in adapting online offerings of operators to the US market and new regulatory landscape. If NetEnt can show efficiency and operational quality, the regulatory authorities of all states could become more amenable to letting more foreign operators into the US market.
