On October 13, game content supplier Expanse Studios announced its official launch in Sweden, beginning cooperation with an operator that holds a license from the Swedish regulator (Spelinspektionen). This is its first landing in Sweden, and also the first real run of the software supplier license it holds — the license was approved in December 2025, valid until December 2030.
Expanse is the B2B gaming division under listed company Meridian (Nasdaq code MRDN), with nearly 100 self-developed games supplied to over 1,800 online brands worldwide, covering categories such as video games, turn-based strategy, and card games. Sweden is one of Europe's most strictly regulated markets, where players basically stay only on licensed platforms. For content suppliers wanting to enter, both technology and compliance must be solid.
The studio's CEO Damjan Stamenkovic put it directly: a license only allows you to enter the field; truly going live and running is what proves the content has passed that threshold. They have content certification in 14 regulated markets, including Sweden, Malta, Portugal, Brazil, and Colombia. Those working on platform solutions should remember: whether the integrated content can be compliantly launched is the real moment of landing.
When choosing a white-label platform solution or selecting content suppliers, don't just stare at game count and monthly fees — ask one question: does its game library have the corresponding licensing and certification reserves in the target market you want to enter? Complete licenses and full certifications mean launches won't get stuck; missing one piece makes all the earlier integration work wasted.
Put simply, game API integration is only the first step — the licensing map of the content library is the real threshold. When selecting, ask clearly about this map; it's more practical than staring at sales rankings.
