In addition, the Group has also been awarded a Class 2 license to supply software, affiliate marketing and hosting services to Headlong.
The Group has previously been operating its Sportingbet brand in Romania under the terms of an interim license, which was granted on 1 September 2015. The new licenses come in to effect from 1 September 2016.
"We are delighted to have been awarded a permanent license in Romania. It is an attractive and growing market where the Sportingbet brand is increasingly popular. We are focused on developing our product line there in order to attract new customers and grow our business," Kenneth Alexander, Chief Executive of GVC, said.
