Just Slots Gains MGA B2B Licence, Launches Content on Hub88 Distribution Platform
Just Slots secures Malta Gaming Authority B2B approval and launches on Hub88, marking its first distribution partnership with further operator agreements anticipated.

Key Takeaways
- Just Slots secured a Malta Gaming Authority B2B licence in September 2026.
- The studio launched its titles, including Sugar Hell and Shadow Pirates, on Hub88 as its first distributor.
- MGA approval enables Just Slots to supply games to operators regulated under Malta's framework.
- Further partnerships are planned to expand Just Slots' distribution beyond Hub88.
Just Slots has obtained a B2B Gaming Licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and is now live on the Hub88 aggregation platform as of 28 September 2026. This development grants Just Slots the capacity to distribute its content portfolio—including Sugar Hell, Ice Vacation, Shadow Pirates, and Shogun Skylord: Jade Empress—to operators regulated under Malta's well-established framework. Hub88 is the studio’s inaugural distribution partner under the new licence, with Just Slots confirming that additional partnerships are in progress.
MGA B2B Licence: Strategic Milestone for Just Slots
Securing approval from the Malta Gaming Authority is a significant achievement for Just Slots. The MGA is one of the industry's leading regulatory bodies, allowing licensees to reach an extensive network of European and international operators. The B2B licence authorises Just Slots to offer its games directly to operators holding MGA-issued licences, expanding the studio's potential client base across regulated markets.
"Securing the MGA licence is a major moment for us. As one of the world’s most widely recognised and respected regulatory bodies, we have now opened a new door to significant growth, with compliance and trust at the core of our work," said Nick Formosa, Head of Client Strategy at Just Slots.
The official authorisation means operators integrated with the Hub88 platform can immediately access and offer Just Slots' featured titles. The company noted that the new compliance status enhances its trust profile in new and existing markets, a point likely to appeal to operators focused on regulatory adherence and reputable sourcing.
Hub88 Partnership Unlocks Broad Operator Access
Hub88, known for its selective content aggregation approach, is Just Slots’ first B2B distribution partner post-licensing. The collaboration is positioned to connect Just Slots to hundreds of MGA-licensed operators, accelerating route-to-market and player reach for its games library.
Ollie Castleman, Managing Director at Hub88, described the studio as an “emerging” content supplier with distinctive themes and engaging sequels, stating:
"Hub88 is renowned for prioritising quality over size or time in the market, and this is why Just Slots was the perfect choice as our latest partner. We’re looking forward to seeing the results their portfolio delivers for operators across our platform."
This arrangement not only serves Just Slots’ expansion objectives, but also reinforces Hub88’s reputation for curating partners based on game quality over studio size or tenure. For Just Slots, the partnership represents both a commercial and brand validation step at a time when aggregation platforms remain critical for smaller studios establishing a multi-jurisdictional presence.
Content Range and Future Partnerships Following B2B Approval
Just Slots stated that the initial suite of games being deployed includes Sugar Hell, Ice Vacation, Shadow Pirates, and Shogun Skylord: Jade Empress. These titles were highlighted by both parties as flagship examples within the Just Slots portfolio, designed to appeal to a wide range of player segments across European and global regulated markets.
The company signaled that further distribution agreements are being negotiated, with plans to extend reach through additional aggregation and direct operator partnerships in the coming months. This staged rollout aligns with the company's reported focus on leveraging MGA regulatory status to unlock additional commercial channels.
The Market Significance of MGA Licensing for B2B Suppliers
Holding a B2B licence from the Malta Gaming Authority remains a competitive advantage in the European iGaming market. The MGA's approval process is widely recognised for rigorous compliance requirements, and its licences provide a route to multinational operator networks. This status enables studios like Just Slots to more efficiently access tier-one and mid-tier operators within the casino vertical, particularly in jurisdictions where Malta's regulatory framework is considered robust.
For distribution partners such as Hub88, partnering with MGA-licensed studios ensures that all new integrations meet strict compliance expectations across both established and maturing markets. The mutual benefit is clear: suppliers achieve broader exposure, and platforms reinforce their content offering with titles that meet or exceed regulatory standards.
Next Steps: Expansion Strategy and Outlook
Looking forward, Just Slots aims to build on this licensing and partnership milestone by finalising additional integration agreements. With regulatory clarity now secured, the company anticipates growing its network of operator clients through both existing and new pathways opened by its agreement with Hub88. As the industry continues to prioritise regulatory-compliant content, Just Slots’ MGA B2B licence is likely to support negotiations with further platforms and direct operators interested in reputable suppliers.
