Information from the nation’s gaming regulator, the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), indicates that the licensing was granted just within the past few days to VS Technology Ltd – a Playtech subsidiary acquired in 2009 that is the 23rd company to receive such a vendor license.

Under the approvals, only one internet gaming licensee has been approved, Momentum subsidiary Coin Technology Projects LLC, which operates B2C site Play971.
