Digitain will provide UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)-licensed operator Silkbet with a comprehensive turnkey technology platform for launching its online business in the UK. The solution combines a sportsbook, horse racing, virtual sports, casino aggregation, CRM and payment solutions within a single ecosystem. Digitain’s technology infrastructure also includes 24/7 technical support.
Silkbet Limited holds three UKGC remote licences under account number 101183 — for casino, general betting standard (real event) and general betting standard (virtual event). All three licences became active on 7 May 2026. The operator’s website has not yet launched.
Digitain, meanwhile, holds a full suite of UKGC B2B licences under account number 63601.
Dario Jurčić, chief commercial officer for Europe and Africa at Digitain, said: ‘Our continued expansion across Europe is a key part of Digitain’s commercial strategy, and partnerships such as this demonstrate the strength of our approach. Being able to support operators in highly competitive regulated markets such as the UK with proven technology and comprehensive solutions is an important differentiator for us.’
Alexander Jones, Regional Sales Director for UK and Western Europe at Digitain, added: ‘We are delighted to welcome Silkbet as a new partner and to support its ambitions in the UK. The UK is a market where operators demand a high level of technology, product quality, reliability and local expertise, and these are areas where Digitain has continued to strengthen its capabilities. We see this as the beginning of a strong relationship built around trust, collaboration and a shared ambition to deliver an excellent player experience.’
Ed Kelly, chief executive officer at Silkbet, said:
‘Silkbet has been created to offer a fresh alternative, combining the agility and customer focus of a boutique operator with the ability to scale. By pairing Silkbet’s entrepreneurial approach with Digitain’s powerful technology, we’re creating a business that can innovate quickly, listen closely to customers and deliver an experience that stands apart from larger, more corporate operators.’
UK Market and Digitain’s Expansion into Regulated Jurisdictions
The UK is one of the world’s most heavily regulated and highly taxed gambling markets. The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) imposes strict requirements regarding technology compliance, anti-money laundering measures and responsible gambling.
Oversight of technology suppliers increases the importance of certified technology partners for new operators. Digitain considers obtaining and maintaining UK certification as part of its broader strategy to expand its presence across regulated European markets.
