The year is 2018, and Marcus Cordes starts Hacksaw Gaming. The enterprise begins with the development of fast, instant-win scratchcards. The drive was to improve the market, and in this pursuit, Hacksaw developed an RGS platform to push aside outdated software and the usual iGaming issues at the time.
Overseeing this operation, Marcus saw the potential for expansion into online slots. They set up offices in Malta a year later and released Pocketz, a fully developed mobile-first app.
Success was obviously achieved. Today, Hacksaw has a portfolio of more than 290 games, available across more than 3,000 operator brands and over 35 locally licensed markets that span from Denmark to Pennsylvania to Spain.
Hacksaw is licensed and regulated by 14 authorities. These include the UK Gambling Commission, the Hellenic Gaming Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, Curacao, and the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission.
For gaming regulation and fairness, tests are conducted by several independent auditors and testing labs, such as eCOGRA.
