Bwin.party, Danske Licens Spil extends deal until 2019 as Danish online casino revenues climb 25%

Bwin.party digital entertainment is extending its supply partnership with Danske Licens Spil, an online gaming subsidiary of Danish state-owned Danske Spil.

The multi-year extension is expected to last until 2019, the London-listed company said in a statement.

The Danske Spil Group is one of Europe’s largest betting and gaming organizations, reporting an estimated DKK4.5 billion (€603 million) of gross gaming revenue in 2014. The group offers a variety of gaming products in the country, including the national lottery, numbers games, instant games and gambling on machines.

The two companies started working together in 2012, when Bwin.party launched a casino and poker platform for the Danish company, according to Gaming Intelligence. Bwin.party originally signed a five-year contract with the operator in 2010, but the deal was revoked when Playtech—one of the bidders—challenged the contract.
