Yggdrasil has announced a strategic partnership with Merkur, a major global player, to enhance its presence in Serbia via Merkur’s local brand, MerkurXtip. This collaboration represents a significant step for Yggdrasil to deepen its footprint in the rapidly growing Eastern European gambling scene.
Serbia: A Thriving Hub for Gaming Operators
The Serbian market offers a dynamic and profitable landscape for both gaming operators and providers. For Yggdrasil, expanding their local operations in this market aligns with their broader strategy to grow within promising regulated regions.
Collaborative Integration Through Bragg Gaming
The partnership leverages Bragg Gaming’s platform to deliver Yggdrasil’s in-house titles as well as a curated collection of games from their YGG Masters portfolio. This integration provides Serbian players with access to a diverse range of innovative gaming experiences.

He emphasized the company’s confidence in the success of bringing both popular core games and fresh YGG Masters content to Serbia’s audience. According to Kadala, Serbia is a key growth area, and the partnership underscores their commitment to enhancing player experiences in regulated markets.
