Leander Games
Leander Games is no longer a trading brand. leandergames.com redirects to rawgroup.com, and on Gambling Commission account 39305 the trading name "leander games" is recorded as Inactive while "raw igaming" is Active. The licensed entity, Xterra Holdings Ltd. of Nassau, Bahamas, company number 160389 B, holds a remote gambling software licence active from 20 March 2015 and a remote game host (casino) licence active from 8 June 2020, and RAW Group's own licence statement places it inside that group. RAW itself dates its founding to March 2021, so it is a different studio rather than a renamed Leander.

About Leander Games
The Name Is No Longer Live
A request to leandergames.com or www.leandergames.com is redirected to www.rawgroup.com. On Gambling Commission account 39305 the trading name "leander games" is recorded as Inactive and "raw igaming" as Active. Describing Leander Games in the present tense as a trading studio is out of date.
Who Holds the Licence
The licensee on that account is Xterra Holdings Limited. RAW Group's own licence statement reads "Xterra Holdings Ltd. (160389 B), having its registered office at 202 Marina Lane, Sandyport, West Bay Street, Nassau, Bahamas, is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain under account number 039305", and adds that it is part of RAW Group. Under licence 039305-R-319386-016 the company holds a remote gambling software licence active from 20 March 2015 and a remote game host (casino) licence active from 8 June 2020.
RAW Is Not a Renamed Leander
RAW describes itself as "a completely new type of studio" and states "We were founded in March 2021, by well-known industry experts with strong investment backing." So the licence and the corporate entity carried over, and the Leander brand was retired; the 2021 date belongs to RAW and is not a founding date for Leander Games.
What Could Not Be Established
No founding year could be established for Leander Games: the register states none, and the brand has no live site that could. The Argentina origin and the Alderney and Malta licences often attributed to it could not be verified on any register that could be read. No portfolio total is published anywhere that could be read either.
