Wazdan

History of Wazdan

Wazdan was founded in 2010, beginning its journey in Cyprus as a developer of server solutions for the gaming industry. That same year, the company secured a gaming license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), laying the groundwork for long-term growth in regulated markets. Shortly after, Wazdan relocated its headquarters to St Julian’s, Malta, positioning itself at the heart of Europe’s iGaming ecosystem.

By 2015, Wazdan had made a significant leap forward by fully embracing HTML5 technology. This transition enabled the company to offer mobile-first games optimized for faster load times and smooth cross-device performance. Over the years, the studio has grown steadily, now employing more than 220 professionals across development, design, compliance, and commercial departments.

In 2024 it unveiled a refreshed brand identity under the slogan “Online gaining,” reflecting its ongoing focus on technological innovation and market adaptability.

Services and Technology

Wazdan delivers a robust suite of iGaming products and services, with a clear focus on innovation, player engagement, and operator flexibility. Its offering centers around high-performing casino games paired with advanced technologies designed to meet the evolving demands of global markets.

Wazdan’s game library includes over 250 cross-platform HTML5 titles, optimized for both desktop and mobile. The company releases approximately 40 new games each year, all featuring proprietary mechanics that distinguish its content in a crowded marketplace.

Beyond slots, Wazdan also offers a range of classic table games, including American Poker Gold, Sic Bo Dragons, Caribbean Beach Poker, and multiple roulette and poker variations. These games are built with the same attention to visual quality and interactivity.

The company’s focus on mobile-first design means all games load quickly, perform efficiently, and provide a consistent user experience regardless of screen size.

Wazdan also prioritizes ease of integration. Through a single API, operators can quickly deploy the full game suite, including support tools and updates, across multiple markets.

Partnerships and Market Presence

Wazdan has significantly expanded its reach through key partnerships across North America, Europe, and Asia. In the U.S., the studio has launched its games with operators such as BetMGM, Fanatics Casino, Caesars Entertainment, and Rush Street Interactive in states including New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. These collaborations are critical to its expansion in North America’s regulated iGaming landscape.

In Europe, Wazdan has secured distribution with operators like Volcanobet (Montenegro), Starvegas and CasinoMania (Italy), and Casino Pause&Play (Spain). The company also works closely with aggregation platforms like REEVO, SYNOT Interactive, SkillOnNet, and Singular, further broadening its availability across regulated territories.

In 2024, Wazdan marked its entry into Asia by integrating games with SG8, entering the Philippine market for the first time. It also maintains active media partnerships and affiliate marketing initiatives to increase game visibility and drive engagement.

Regulatory Compliance

Wazdan operates under a strong regulatory framework and holds licenses from the Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, and many more. Wazdan also obtained licenses from multiple U.S. state regulators including New Jersey, Michigan, and West Virginia. The company is also licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), enabling participation in Canada’s regulated market.

Wazdan ensures its games meet regulatory requirements through:

• Independent RNG and fairness testing.

• Integration of responsible gambling tools such as bet limits, session timers, self-exclusion, and adjustable volatility.

• Regular audits and compliance reviews.

• Adherence to strict data protection standards, including compliance with GDPR and ISO-level information security practices.

Wazdan’s development from a server solutions provider to a multi-market game supplier reflects a clear vision: to deliver high-quality, feature-rich gaming content tailored to local and global markets. With a growing team, expanding regulatory footprint, and a steady release pipeline backed by proprietary mechanics, the company has positioned itself as a reliable and forward-thinking partner in the iGaming space.
