Betsson, Betsafe, betFIRST, InkaBet, Jalla! Casino, NordicBet, RaceBets, StarCasino, and Rizk.
Availability depends on your country and local licence. Net: roughly ~9 active consumer brands in focus.

Annual & Sustainability Report. Players can find information on responsible gaming tools, customer-care channels and licensing per market on brand sites.
Note: disclosure depth can vary by country and brand.

Ownership is dispersed among institutional and long-term shareholders; there is no single controlling UBO.
