“A license is the permission to compete. Going live is the proof that our content clears the bar.”
Damjan Stamenkovic, Chief Executive Officer of Expanse Studios
“Sweden holds one of the most demanding regulatory standards in Europe. Launching with a licensed operator there confirms that our content and compliance meet that standard in practice, not just on paper.”
VALLETTA, MT AND LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2026 / Meridian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MRDN) (link) announced that its B2B game development division, Expanse Studios ("Expanse"), has gone live with an operator licensed by the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen). The launch marks Expanse's first live operator deployment in Sweden and the first commercial activation of its Swedish software provider license. Granted in December 2025 and valid through December 2030, the license allows Expanse to operate as a software provider in Sweden's regulated online gaming market. The new deployment moves the studio beyond licensing approval into active commercial operations in the country.
Sweden represents an important addition to Expanse's regulated-market footprint. Its online gaming sector operates under a licensing framework overseen by Spelinspektionen, making partnerships with licensed operators an important route for suppliers seeking to distribute content within the regulated market.
