About LeoVegas Gaming PLC
LeoVegas is one of the few operators in this index that is genuinely a regulated, mainstream company rather than an offshore shell. It was founded in Sweden in 2011 by Gustaf Hagman and Robin Ramm-Ericson, built a reputation as a mobile-first casino, and listed on the Stockholm stock exchange in 2016. In 2022 the US casino group MGM Resorts International bought LeoVegas for around 600 million US dollars, and it now runs as an MGM subsidiary.
Licensing and brands
Unlike most operators here, LeoVegas holds top-tier licences: the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission and Ontario's AGCO among them. That is a materially stronger accountability regime than a Curaçao licence, with real dispute-resolution and player-protection obligations behind it. Beyond the flagship LeoVegas Casino, the group runs a portfolio of other regulated brands, including Royal Panda, Expekt, Pink Casino, BetUK and 21.co.uk. We review the LeoVegas Casino brand itself above.
