RiskCherry Expands Its Presence to 24 Jurisdictions and Adds Five New Regulated Markets

RiskCherry, an independent testing laboratory for iGaming based in Malta, secured regulatory approval in five new jurisdictions over the last three months, elevating its global reach to 24 regulated markets. The announcement was made on September 23, 2026, formalizing its expansion across Europe and Latin America and reinforcing its strategy of rapid and structured growth.

Five New Regulated Markets for RiskCherry

RiskCherry's international reach grew after receiving key regulatory registrations and approvals. The expansion included:

• Santa Fe, Argentina: Officially entered the registry of authorized laboratories to issue certifications in the province of Santa Fe, solidifying the company's position in Argentina.
• Buenos Aires, Argentina: RiskCherry had previously entered the corresponding provincial registry, ensuring coverage in two of the most active regulated markets in the country.
• Bulgaria: In September, it obtained approval from the National Revenue Agency, allowing it to certify and test games in accordance with local regulations.
• Colombia: In August, the firm achieved the necessary regulatory recognition to operate as an authorized testing laboratory.
• Croatia: In July, it completed the list of new accreditations for the quarter.

The combination of these agreements places RiskCherry among the most active laboratories in the industry, particularly in certifying platforms and games for operators and suppliers seeking immediate access to markets with strict regulations.

Strategic Expansion in Latin America and Europe

RiskCherry's presence in Latin America has significantly increased since August, expanding from operating in one jurisdiction to four. Argentina and Colombia join its prior entry in Alberta, Canada, where it registered with Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis before the formal market opening on July 13. This anticipation allowed RiskCherry's clients to have their certifications ready from day one.

In Europe, the company reinforced its presence by adding Bulgaria and Croatia to its existing regulatory network. CEO Rob Fell emphasized the philosophy of continuous expansion:

"Five markets in three months is not a burst of activity; it's what we built the company for. We entered Alberta long before it opened to ensure our clients were ready from day one, and since August we have quadrupled our coverage in LatAm," said Fell.

Uniform Process and Growth Vision

RiskCherry bases its proposal on providing a straightforward process for operators and suppliers looking to meet the requirements of multiple jurisdictions. Fell indicated that expansion will continue both in Latin America and in additional European markets:

"There is much more to come. We will continue to grow in LatAm alongside several European markets, so stay tuned. That is the purpose of what we have created: a simple process and a map that continues to grow," noted the CEO.

The diversification by jurisdiction enables RiskCherry to respond to the demand of multinational operators and adapt to regulatory specifics. The possibility of rapid and homologated certification represents a significant competitive advantage given the proliferation of local regulations in both the Latin American region and Europe.

Implications for International Operators and Suppliers

Coverage in 24 regulated markets allows RiskCherry's clients to launch products more swiftly while complying with the specific regulations of each jurisdiction. In Latin America, the recent entry into Santa Fe and Buenos Aires solidifies its position as a key partner in a region where regulatory heterogeneity demands flexibility and technical knowledge.

In Europe, the approvals in Bulgaria and Croatia complement RiskCherry's portfolio, facilitating operators' entry into markets that require local certifications prior to launch. This is especially impactful for companies planning simultaneous launches across multiple regions.

Industry Perspective: Leadership in Testing and iGaming Certification

RiskCherry's strategy prioritizes early acquisitions of regulatory approvals and solidification as a benchmark laboratory for multijurisdictional certification. The pace of new accreditations achieved in 2026 legitimizes the company's intention to lead the global testing sector for iGaming.

The projection is to maintain a focus on simple processes, short certification times, and regulatory expansion synchronized with market evolution. The CEO made it clear that the dynamics reached during the last quarter are not temporary but structural to the company's vision.
