Esports Entertainment Group acquired a betting licence for the state of New Jersey in the US this January, being the first of its kind to do so in the state. The company followed the licensing process with the launch of an esports-focused betting website Vie.gg in partnership with Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel and Casino.
