sega1 Video game provider SEGA could be set to launch their own poker and casino platforms following the granting of a gambling licence by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission today.

Segapoker.com and segacasino.com have already been registered in what many are predicting could be the biggest shake up of the online poker and casino markets for some time.

Robin Le Prevost, head of eCommerce Development for Alderney, said; “”That SEGA Games chose to base their new venture with us in Alderney is something we are immensely proud about. 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.”

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission has already granted licences to other high profile online poker rooms such as PKR and Party Poker.

A SEGA Games spokesman said; “The Alderney Gambling Control Commission provides the most comprehensive gaming regulations with the strictest requirements and such is recognized as the most reputable online gaming jurisdiction. This provides an excellent fit with SEGA’s regulatory compliant strategy and we are pleased to be approved by this leading authority.”
