Oddin.gg Secures a Landmark Official Data Rights Deal for the First Ever Counter-Strike 2 Major
Oddin.gg is proud to announce its exclusive official data partnership with the esteemed tournament organizer PGL for the upcoming Major Copenhagen 2024. This collaboration marks the first Major for the newly released game Counter-Strike 2 and represents a significant milestone for the esports analytics and betting solutions experts, aiming to transform the esports data market.
The world’s elite Counter-Strike teams are set to gather in Copenhagen, Denmark, a nation with a rich history in Counter-Strike. They will compete for the title in what is expected to be the franchise’s most significant Major in recent years. It will be the first Major ever in the updated Counter Strike 2 title, faster than before as it is played in a smaller number of rounds. The aim? To smash viewership records and elevate the fan experience to unprecedented heights. Given the high hopes of the successor to the hugely popular Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, there is no surprise that Valve, the publisher behind the franchise, leaves the organization of the premier event in the safe hands of PGL, one of the top esports organizers globally.
Oddin.gg, a market leader in providing cutting-edge betting solutions, marks its foray into the official esports data market with this deal, following up on the DPC regions acquired last year in Dota 2. Making a series of strategic moves into the official data segment, Oddin.gg is uniquely positioned as the only company on the market to fully leverage the esports value betting chain at every step of the way. The company will offer both its products built around the data, which means engaging odds, sophisticated risk management tools and services, esports-centric iFrame, and comprehensive widgets, as well as data API and trading stream to those partners who want to utilize the data within their infrastructure.
Marek Suchar, Managing Director and Co-founder at Oddin.gg, expressed excitement over the collaboration: “We are thrilled to be pushing the boundaries once again, and doing what others are not capable of doing: finally directly connecting two worlds we deeply care about. On one hand, we have PGL, the apex of esports, renowned for its elite production quality, premier tournaments, and unparalleled viewership. On the other, there’s a roster of our esteemed clients like Betway, Stake, Yolo, Altenar, Betby, among many others. We’re thrilled to bridge these worlds, leveraging data from the first even Counter-Strike 2 Major to enhance fan engagement through dynamic odds and interactive widgets. Our robust risk management system is critical to provide PGL with valuable real-time insights on any potential suspicious betting activity, positioning Oddin.gg as a safeguard of the integrity of such a prestigious event. By closing the loop, we ensure all involved parties maximize their benefits, thereby enhancing revenue generation and promoting long-term sustainability.”
Speaking on behalf of PGL, Silviu Stroie CEO, highlighted the synergistic nature of the partnership: “PGL is constantly seeking innovative ways to engage with our community and safeguard the integrity of the game. Teaming up with Oddin.gg allows us to harness the full potential of our esports data, creating novel avenues for fan engagement and introducing fresh market innovations. We are happy to see the continued evolution of the esports market, and can’t wait to see what Oddin.gg has to offer.”
The Main Event is scheduled from March 17-31, 2024, the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen will feature 24 top-tier Counter-Strike 2 teams, qualified through RMR, battling over a $1,250,000 prize pool. The event promises to be a landmark in esports history, showcasing exceptional talent and competitive prowess. With millions of fans watching worldwide, the event is more than just a tournament; it’s a global celebration of skill, strategy, and the spirit of esports. Qualifiers – from Open through to RMRs – take place in the new year starting in early January.
Prepare to be part of the thrill at the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 – a not-to-be-missed spectacle for esports aficionados everywhere.

Expanse Studios Secures Romanian Class 2 B2B Gaming License
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Expanse Studios, a B2B iGaming content provider and subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has been granted a Class 2 license by Romania’s National Gambling Office (ONJN), authorizing the company to distribute specialized gaming software across one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.
The license, granted under Decision No. 273, enables Expanse Studios to provide its portfolio of proprietary slot games, crash games, and casino content to licensed Romanian operators. This approval positions the company to serve a market that generated approximately €600 million in gross gaming revenue in 2024 and maintains one of Europe’s highest channelization rates at over 90%.
Strategic Entry into High-Growth Regulated Market
Romania represents one of Eastern Europe’s most dynamic iGaming jurisdictions, with internet penetration reaching 88% of its 19 million population and a regulatory framework that has attracted over 50 licensed operators. The market has demonstrated consistent growth, with total industry turnover exceeding €2 billion in 2023, reflecting a 15% year-over-year increase.
The Class 2 B2B license allows Expanse Studios to distribute content to Romania’s licensed B2C operators without establishing a Romanian entity or paying Romanian corporate taxes, while providing access to a market where mobile gaming dominates and player engagement continues to accelerate.
Romania’s stringent licensing requirements under Government Emergency Ordinance 77/2009 make ONJN approval a significant credential for B2B providers. The regulatory framework emphasizes technical compliance, player protection, and operational transparency—requirements that align with Expanse Studios’ existing European operations across 1,300+ casino brands.
“Securing ONJN approval validates our technical capabilities and regulatory compliance standards in one of Europe’s most demanding jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “Romania offers substantial distribution opportunities through licensed operators serving a tech-savvy player base with strong engagement metrics. This license strengthens our European B2B footprint and demonstrates our ability to meet the compliance requirements of mature regulated markets.”
Expanding B2B Distribution Infrastructure
The Romanian license complements Expanse Studios’ recent European partnerships, reflecting accelerating demand for the company’s content across regulated jurisdictions. With 56 proprietary titles including Super Heli, Titan Roulette, and Wild Icy Fruits, Expanse continues scaling its high-margin B2B operations across Europe, Latin America, and North America.
Romania’s market characteristics—including preference for mobile platforms, strong affinity for slot content, and established payment infrastructure—align well with Expanse Studios’ content portfolio and distribution model. The company’s games will be available to Romanian operators seeking certified, compliant content for their licensed platforms.
This license approval reinforces Golden Matrix Group’s broader strategy of expanding regulated B2B operations in jurisdictions with transparent licensing frameworks and sustainable growth trajectories.
