NetEnt Expands into Mexico

NetEnt is expanding its operations into Mexico by partnering with operator and existing customer Codere to establish a presence in the nation’s online casino market.

Online gaming content supplier NetEnt is taking its first step into Latin America by signing an agreement with its existing customer Codere to enter the regulated online casino market in Mexico.

Codere has a significant presence in the traditional land-based casino markets in Spain, Italy and Latin America. The company also is one of the largest casino operators in Mexico, and has an operator license for both land-based and online casino operations. NetEnt will be able to provide its portfolio offerings to Codere through Codere’s existing operator license.

“I am really excited to enter the regulated online casino market in Mexico together with Codere,” said Björn Krantz, managing director of NetEnt Americas LLC. “This is our first market entry in Latin America, and marks another milestone as we follow our long-term strategy to enter and grow in new regulated markets. I’m convinced that we can support Codere’s online casino growth and that players in Mexico will enjoy our world-class, thrilling games.”
