The company is planning to launch in North America later on in 2015.
With regulations changing, particularly in New Jersey where online gambling is now legal, several games suppliers are to seek licenses to operate in both the USA and Canada.
The MD of Net Entertainment Malta, Bjorn Krantz, is to head up the project to gain a US license, with his deputy Enrico Bradamante taking over his position.
Commenting on the US move, Eriksson has said ''Net Ent has been evaluating the developments in North America and believe the prerequisites and timing is right to intensify the preparation for an entry into both the US and Canada.''
