Yolo Investments has been making steady forays in the industry, achieving significant share acquisitions over the past five years. The company praised Apparat Gaming’s own reach in European and the German market and said that the company has been able to develop a riveting technological platform.
Building on Games with German Accent
Apparat Gaming co-founder and director Alina Dandörfer welcomed the opportunity in a similar fashion. She argued that thanks to this backing from Yolo, the company will be able to achieve “great, great things” in the coming months and years.
Apparat Gaming insists on developing iGaming products that have a distinct “German accent.” The studio was formed by a number of iGaming veterans who are dedicated to building the best possible products in the industry. Since 2021, the developer has had a Malta Gaming Authority license, which has enabled it to expand rapidly across the board.
Last week, Apparat Gaming signed its first aggregator agreement with United Remote, enabling the company to expand rapidly with new audiences. Apparat also signed a similar distribution partnership with Relax Gaming in June.
