As EGR Nordics draws closer, the global iGaming industry is turning its attention to the highly competitive and engaged Nordic market, where more operators are looking to enter the space—especially amid growing speculation about potential regulation in Finland. 


Whether you're entering a competitive new region or enhancing an existing iGaming operation, the support of a well-established provider can make a critical difference for both online and retail channels. 


Glitnor and Altenar have built a mutually beneficial partnership in the Nordic region, grounded in a shared commitment to fairness, simplicity, reliability, flexibility, and stability.


Altenar’s Commercial Account Manager, George Mavridis, shared his thoughts on the partnership and the evolving potential of the Nordic region: “We’ve been fortunate to collaborate with Glitnor since 2018 as their sportsbook provider in highly competitive markets like Sweden and Finland. Our technology and strategy have been designed around the regulatory framework. Despite various restrictions—especially in Sweden—the Nordic market continues to grow in terms of marketing and betting regulations. We’re closely monitoring regulatory developments in Finland and are confident in our readiness for what comes next.”


We also spoke with Glitnor’s Sportsbook Manager, Tomas Bodell, who offered valuable insight into why the company chose Altenar’s sportsbook and what he sees ahead for the Nordic region.
