Digitain, a provider of online gaming technology, has taken a significant step forward in its European expansion plan: the company has been granted a Category E licence for its technology services in Belgium.
What is an E licence?
The E licence covers gaming technology providers, i.e. those who do not directly manage betting or gambling with players but provide the infrastructure, software or platforms used by operators.
This category is subject to strict controls: providers must prove that they are reliable, that they protect personal data, that they guarantee the integrity and security of their systems, and that they collaborate in the prevention of fraud or money laundering. In Belgium, these obligations are closely monitored.
Digitain: European strategy and enhanced credibility
For Digitain, obtaining this licence is more than just an operating permit. It is a key element of a strategy that aims to position the company as a trusted player in regulated markets.
The Belgian licence will enable Digitain to develop local partnerships with operators that require service providers to meet high compliance standards. It can also serve as a reference for the company when applying for other licences in neighbouring or similar jurisdictions. Indeed, having a licence in an environment as strict as Belgium’s is often seen as proof of reliability.
Expected impacts
This licence has multiple impacts:
- For Digitain, it strengthens its credibility, opens the door to contracts in Belgium, and demonstrates its ability to meet demanding standards throughout Europe.
- For Belgian operators, it means a greater number of legally available technologies, with a guarantee of compliance. They will be able to work with an officially recognised supplier, which can simplify audits and controls.
- For the gaming sector, this reflects an underlying trend: regulated European markets (including Belgium) are becoming benchmarks for transparency and protection. Companies must not only innovate, but also prove their integrity.
Looking at Digitain’s history to date, obtaining the Belgian E licence appears to be a turning point. It is not simply a geographical expansion, but institutional recognition in one of Europe’s most demanding environments. Thanks to this licence, the company is showing that it is prepared to play by the strictest rules and is committed to sustainable growth.
