The company describes its origins as "a bunch of enthusiasts" built around an absolute fascination with games, a trait it says all Wazdaners share and which directs its pursuit of iGaming excellence. In 2013 Wazdan underwent a rebranding. By 2015 it had implemented HTML5 and released 50 games, marking a shift toward cross-platform delivery. In 2017 the company obtained a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence, expanding its regulated footprint. The following year, 2018, was a period of significant product and corporate development: Wazdan introduced its Volatility Levels™ feature, was named Startup of the Year at the MIGEA Awards, and reached 100 employees and 100 games. In 2019 Wazdan was present in four markets and obtained an ONJN licence in Romania. That year it also won Malta's Best iGaming Online Product of the Year and Malta's Best Gaming New Slots Developer at the MIGEA Awards, while its title 9 Lions won the Hot Product Award at G2E Asia. In 2020 the company achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification, reinforcing its information security and compliance credentials. Over the following years Wazdan continued to expand its games portfolio and market reach, growing to 400+ games across 40+ markets and describing itself as one of the fastest-developing iGaming content studios. Its commercial model centres on partnerships with casino operators, supporting their growth in digital markets, and its games are certified for the regulatory regimes in the jurisdictions where they operate. In 2026 Wazdan announced a partnership with Games Valley to expand its distribution reach and a partnership with SlyBet to expand its Bulgarian presence.
