History of Netentertainment
 
Net Entertainment is one of the most popular gaming developers in the online gambling industry. It was technically established in the year 1996, but has a history that goes almost 50 years back.

It goes back to the 70s when Cherry, which was a very famous offline casino in Scandinavia, had to modify the whole business and restructure it into a new organisation. This happened because the slot machines there were banned due to changing rules and regulations.

In 1984, Cherry acquired many great casino companies of Sweden and their shares. Later from 1986 to 1991, Cherry got success in delivering slot machines to many East European country casinos. Unfortunately for Cherry, after this short term success, in 1992 there were orders to shut all such activities in those countries.

Pontus Lindwall, who was the founder of Net Entertainment, thought about the possibilities of starting online casino slots, with the introduction of the internet. Although, majority of people didn’t own a personal computer, they were adapting to it rapidly.

At that time, people didn’t think of internet as such a powerful communicating source, and hence, became the reason for Cherry’s transformation into Net Entertainment in 1996 and its success.

Net Entertainment started when Pontus convinced one of the biggest venture companies of Europe- Cherry and Kinnevik, to invest money in it.

They invested around €8.5 million, which resulted in a successful company-and the rest as they say is history-it went on to become a pioneer in the online gaming industry!

Difficulties Faced and Overcoming Them
With its initiation in the online world, Net Entertainment also had to face some difficulties. Although people started using internet extensively, they were still hesitant in making any kind of online purchases or transactions because they thought it was not entirely safe.

Due to a sudden increase in online gaming companies, some of which were also fake, governments started banning them.

Malta was one of the first countries, which understood the importance in the balance between online gaming companies and their customers. It kept a close supervision and command, which resulted in other countries following the lead. Today, there are numerous trustworthy gaming companies providing a wide range of online games with safe payment options and tools for personal data security.
