Digitain has secured both Manufacturer and Importer licences from Bulgaria’s National Revenue Agency, enabling the Armenian-headquartered supplier to distribute its full product portfolio to operators in the regulated Bulgarian market.
What the Licences Cover
The Manufacturer licence authorises Digitain to supply its in-house developed products to Bulgarian-licensed operators. The Importer licence allows the company to distribute certified third-party products alongside its own, giving partners a wider, fully compliant offering from a single supplier relationship.
Bulgaria’s National Revenue Agency is the authority responsible for issuing gambling licences in the country, covering software providers operating in both retail and online segments.
“Securing both licences in Bulgaria is an important step in strengthening our presence in regulated markets. It allows us to deliver both our in-house solutions and a wide range of certified third-party products in full compliance with local requirements. This dual capability ensures that our partners can confidently operate and scale in the Bulgarian market with a reliable and fully compliant product offering.”

Part of a Broader European Push
The Bulgarian approvals are the latest in a sequence of regulated market entries for Digitain. The company secured a Belgium E category licence in September 2025, adding to existing approvals in Romania, Malta, Greece and Sweden. In February 2026, the UK Gambling Commission granted Digitain a betting licence for real and virtual events, alongside full certification of its sportsbook and platform, opening access to one of Europe’s most demanding regulatory environments. An Isle of Man iGaming software supplier licence followed in January 2026.
The company now holds licences in more than 35 regulated markets and reports an annual betting handle of approximately €12 billion across its operator base of over 150 partners worldwide. Digitain’s commercial operations are based in Malta, with R&D centred in Yerevan and satellite development teams in Georgia, Ukraine and Romania.
The Bulgarian entry extends the supplier’s footprint into Central and Eastern Europe, a region where several operators are pursuing regulated expansion in relatively accessible licensing environments. Digitain’s existing Romanian presence, including a sportsbook technology agreement with 888 Romania, a division of Evoke, positions it as an established player in the sub-region.
Compliance-Led Growth Strategy
Digitain’s licensing activity reflects a deliberate positioning as a compliance-first B2B supplier, a proposition that has become commercially relevant as operators across Europe face tighter regulatory scrutiny and seek technology partners with established approval records.
The pace of new licence acquisitions across the UK, Belgium, Isle of Man and now Bulgaria over a six-month window points to a concerted effort to remove regulatory barriers for prospective operator partners before commercial conversations begin, rather than managing approvals reactively. The dual-licence structure in Bulgaria, covering both proprietary and third-party products, gives the supplier flexibility to serve operators with different content requirements under a single compliant framework.
Digitain has not disclosed specific operator partnerships or launch timelines for the Bulgarian market.
