Big Daddy Gaming secures UKGC license

22 October 2026
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Pioneering slots studio Big Daddy Gaming has secured a supplier license from the U.K. Gambling Commission, marking another major milestone as the studio continues to build its presence across key regulated markets.
The approval adds the U.K. to Big Daddy Gaming’s growing reach across Europe’s leading regulated markets, following its licenses from the Swedish Gambling Authority and the Malta Gaming Authority. The provider continues to expand its distribution network and bring its portfolio to more operators worldwide.
Since the studio’s launch last year, Big Daddy Gaming has established agreements with leading operators and aggregators while developing a portfolio shaped by its Reel Fun. Real Value. philosophy. Its catalogue balances engaging player experiences with commercial performance, while its flexible commercial model is designed to help operators maximize revenue.
Its upcoming release, Los Luchadores, demonstrates the studio’s approach to slot development and introduces Big Daddy Gaming’s first Double Gamble Feature, alongside a Buy Extra Spins option. Both Ante Bet options have already proved popular with players, giving operators familiar mechanics with proven appeal.
Following its early portfolio rollout this year, Big Daddy Gaming is preparing for a further wave of activity with new titles including Xmas Cash Ladder, Outback Aussies, Pigeon Blitz and Cooped Up in the pipeline for the coming months.
After 12 months of building under the radar, the studio is also set to announce multiple commercial agreements with the majority of the industry’s leading tier-one partners in the coming months.
Erland Hellström, CEO at Big Daddy Gaming, said: “Securing our UKGC license is a significant milestone for Big Daddy Gaming as we round off our first year of operations. We have made strong progress in a highly competitive marketplace, and this approval marks another important step in expanding our presence across key regulated markets.
“We know operators are under increasing pressure to protect margins, which makes the balance between commercial performance and player experience more important than ever. Our flexible commercial model is designed to help operators navigate these challenges, and with further titles in the works and major partnerships on the horizon, we are excited about what lies ahead.”
