Who owns NetEnt?
Evolution offered new Evolution shares for NetEnt in June 2020, in a deal valued at SEK 19.6 billion. After completion it held about 96.8% of NetEnt's shares, started a compulsory buy-out of the rest, and NetEnt's shares left Nasdaq Stockholm in December 2020. See Evolution.
What do we know about NetEnt in the US?

Listing here is not a recommendation.
Where does NetEnt operate outside the US?
NetEnt's parent, Evolution, is a Swedish-listed company, and NetEnt's own shares traded on Nasdaq Stockholm until December 2020. When NetEnt launched in New Jersey in 2015, chief executive Per Eriksson said it had "focused on establishing our footprint in North America." We did not read a licence register for NetEnt's other markets, so we list none here.
What games is NetEnt known for?
Wizard of Odds notes that the return on a single title can differ from one jurisdiction to the next, so a NetEnt slot in New Jersey may not pay back the same share as the same game elsewhere. Check the help screen for the version you play.
How do you check a NetEnt game is approved?
A provider does not decide whether a casino is legal. Play only on a site that appears on your state's approved list, and check the game's help screen for its rules and return to player. In New Jersey, each new game needs approval from the Division of Gaming Enforcement before it goes live. See your state page.
Does InsideCasino.us rate NetEnt?
No. We do not rate or rank NetEnt or its games, and we do not link to sign-ups. A game's return to player is an average over a very long run, so see what a game costs before you play.
What are the rules in your state?
Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
