The gambling jurisdiction that offers licenses to sites such as Party Poker and PKR, has awarded the mainstream video game producer, SEGA with an online gambling license.

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission announced this week that it was pleased to have been chosen by the Japanese based SEGA as a platform to launch its two new products, segapoker.com and segacasino.com.

The operations will be powered by Playtech software group, meaning a quality gaming experience for all players, except those from the United States who are not allowed access to Playtech software for the time being.

"That SEGA Games chose to base their new venture with us in Alderney is something we are immensely proud of," noted the Head of eCommerce Development for Alderney, Robin Le Prevost.

"In our minds it vindicates the high quality of our regulation, which is recognized the world over and has seen substantial investment from companies of high standing like SEGA over the last few years."
