Kendoo did not launch as a public-facing brand at all. It began in 2024 as an outsourcing studio, building slot titles for other operators and labels before making the pivot to an independent B2B supplier in its own right on January 9, 2025. That timeline matters for context: everything Kendoo has shipped as "Kendoo" is less than two years old.
The studio moved fast once it went public. In February 2025, Kendoo signed a distribution deal with Infingame, an aggregator carrying more than 200 studios and over 15,000 games at the time, a real shortcut to operator shelf space for a brand with no prior name recognition, which means Kendoo's titles reached live casino menus faster than if the studio had pitched operators one by one. By September 2025, Kendoo had won Slots Developer of the Year in the Small Studio category at the SBC Awards in Lisbon, an independently judged industry honor rather than a self-issued title. Kendoo followed that in December 2025 by confirming it had passed 50 operator partners in its first year as an independent supplier, and by mid-2026 it picked up a second shortlisting, this time for Casino/Slots Developer of the Year at the SBC Awards 2026. A separate shortlist mention for Best Game Design of the Year, tied to Zeus Power, at the European iGaming Awards 2026 has circulated in trade coverage, but InsideCasino CA could not confirm it directly, so we flag it as unverified rather than settled.
No individual founder is named anywhere in Kendoo's public materials, which is unusual but not unheard of for a studio still consolidating its brand identity this early. On the licensing side, the picture is narrower than the Isle of Man corporate address suggests. Kendoo's registered office sits in Douglas, but the studio does not appear on the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission's official Software Supplier Register. The only license actually confirmed on the live site footer traces to the Offshore Finance Authority of the State of Anjouan, an offshore jurisdiction rather than one of the stricter regulated licensing bodies. Games are tested by Gaming Associates, a UKAS-accredited lab, and the studio carries a compliance accreditation from RiskCherry, both of which are genuine third-party checks worth noting even where the licensing itself is thin. Readers wanting the background on how that certification process works generally can see our guide on how online casino games are certified.
Roughly 20 to 25-plus slot titles make up Kendoo's catalogue as of mid-2026, with public trackers disagreeing on the exact count, and new releases land on a monthly-ish schedule. Every confirmed title is a slot game, there's no live dealer offering and no progressive jackpots anywhere in the lineup. Every jackpot feature Kendoo ships instead runs on a fixed-multiplier tier system, commonly labeled Mini, Minor, Midi, Major, Grand and Royal, so wins are capped at a known ceiling rather than growing indefinitely the way a networked progressive would.
The common thread across nearly the entire catalogue is a Hold & Win-style bonus round, using reel-collection, coin-collection or pot mechanics that expand the board and pay out through those fixed jackpot tiers. A few titles show what that formula looks like in practice.
On the technical side, every Kendoo title is built in HTML5, so games run across desktop and mobile browsers without a native app download. Kendoo offers a proprietary casino game API for direct operator integration through a three-step consultation, implementation, and testing/deployment process, alongside its Infingame aggregator listing for operators that prefer a single integration point across many studios.
Kendoo's only confirmed license comes from the Offshore Finance Authority of the State of Anjouan, which sits outside the licensing frameworks that govern Canada's regulated markets. There is no AGCO or iGaming Ontario registration for Kendoo, and the studio does not appear on the AGCO's supplier listing, so mainstream regulated access in Ontario is not currently available.
One offshore, Curacao-licensed operator, Slottyway, gets described by aggregator listings as carrying Kendoo's full catalogue, though InsideCasino CA could not independently confirm whether Canadian players can access real-money play there, so it's included here as the one example found rather than a recommendation. Free, no-registration demo play is confirmed available directly on kendoo.com/games and through third-party portals, which gives Canadian players a way to try the mechanics described above without a deposit or a regulated-market dependency. Readers looking for real money casinos with confirmed Canadian availability, or newer options generally, may prefer our new online casinos coverage while Kendoo's regulated footprint develops.
Kendoo is a genuinely new studio doing more to earn attention than most brands its age manage. An SBC Award win, a real aggregator distribution deal, named leadership, and independent RNG testing through Gaming Associates are all verifiable points in its favor. This isn't a shell operation. The games themselves are also better documented than the studio's age would suggest, with real mechanical detail (grid layouts, paylines, jackpot tiers, bonus structures) available for the majority of its 20-to-25-title catalogue.
Set against that, no individual founder is named, several titles carry conflicting or fully undisclosed RTPs (Mariachi Lock's figure ranges across sources, Pig Up's release date gets reported two different ways), and InsideCasino CA found no independent player commentary anywhere online. That gap is expected for a studio not yet two years old rather than a red flag on its own, but it means player experience at this point is still untested by anyone outside the trade press. Most consequential for a Canadian audience, Kendoo's only confirmed license is an offshore one, with no AGCO or iGaming Ontario presence and no progressive jackpot titles in the catalogue.
Kendoo is worth watching as it matures, and the free demos offer a low-friction way to see the games directly. InsideCasino CA's research team checked Kendoo's live site footer, the Isle of Man supplier register and aggregator data directly rather than taking the developer's own claims at face value, and that same check-everything approach is what Canadian players should expect from any casino software review on this site. Players prioritizing regulated licensing and a longer track record will still find more of both from established suppliers like NetEnt or Pragmatic Play.
Kendoo is a B2B slot game developer that began as a white-label outsourcing studio in 2024 before launching publicly as an independent supplier on January 9, 2025. It builds HTML5 slots, mostly built around Hold & Win-style bonus mechanics and fixed-tier jackpots.
Kendoo's only confirmed license is from the Offshore Finance Authority of the State of Anjouan, an offshore jurisdiction rather than one of the stricter regulated licensing bodies. Its games are independently tested by Gaming Associates, a UKAS-accredited lab, and the studio holds a RiskCherry compliance accreditation, but it does not hold an AGCO or iGaming Ontario registration.
Kendoo's catalogue sits at roughly 20 to 25-plus slot titles as of mid-2026, all of them slots (no live dealer or table games). Its flagship is Zeus Power, alongside titles like 4 Gold Carts, Locomotoro, and the Cash Volcano series, most sharing a Hold & Win-style bonus core with fixed jackpot tiers rather than progressives.
Kendoo does not appear on the AGCO's supplier listing. One offshore, Curaçao-licensed site, Slottyway, is described by aggregators as carrying its catalogue, though Canadian real-money access there is unconfirmed. Free demo play is available directly on kendoo.com without registration.
