You can now search Complitech’s technical requirements database for free
The team at Maxima Compliance – the industry’s most established technical and regulatory compliance support firm – has made access to its Complitech tool free for everybody.
Complitech is the largest searchable database of technical requirements for the online gaming industry. It now features over 30 standards, including GLI-19 and GLI-33, every European market, Colombia and several US jurisdictions.
Over the past three years, Maxima’s technical compliance analysts have devoted thousands of hours to translating and categorizing requirements, manually tagging and matching them across jurisdictions.
Thanks to this effort, Complitech has become a highly dependable tool which some of the largest players in the industry are using to empower their compliance department and drive their software development.
Access to this tool is now open to everybody by simply visiting www.complitech.com and registering with an email address. The new version of the tool has the same functionalities of the subscription service, allowing you both to search the requirements of a single jurisdiction, or to create a gap analysis between those of multiple jurisdictions.
Once the user has completed their search and is satisfied with the results, they will now be prompted with the option to download the document containing the results of its searches for a fee. This fee will depend on the complexity of the market or the number of jurisdictions involved in the gap.
Antonio Zanghi, CEO of Maxima Compliance, said: “We are mindful that a lot of start-ups or smaller game studios might only need to do the occasional spot search, or might be focusing on entering one market at the time. This pay as you go functionality offers the power of this unique tool at a fraction of the usual cost, for the occasional user.”
Requirements have been clearly categorised as either belonging to the operator or the supplier, allowing companies to quickly identify those that apply to them. You can search requirements that are specific to a player account management system, a gaming platform, a sportsbook including virtual sports betting, every type of casino product offered in any regulated market, change management programmes and information security management systems.
Complitech has been brought to the gambling industry and is maintained by a large team of technical compliance analysts working at Maxima Compliance. The company has become popular for its unique blend of outsourced technical and regulatory compliance support services, allowing its customers to fast-track their entry into regulated markets.

Compliable Expands Licensing Offering to Europe and Latin America
Leading licensing management solution now supports new global markets
Leading compliance software provider Compliable is now supporting licensing in European and Latin American markets, further strengthening its proposition following a successful period of growth in the United States.
With experience of working with prominent industry brands including FanDuel, Bet365 and BetFanatics in North America, Compliable’s platform can now help companies complete, manage and maintain gaming licenses across multiple global jurisdictions.
Compliable is expanding into new markets at a time of increased regulatory obligations in numerous regions as well as a heightened demand from suppliers and vendors to get licensed from a reputational point of view.
Markets in Europe as well as emerging regions in Latin America are now supported by Compliable’s software solution, which enables operators and suppliers to enter new countries more quickly and reduces the ongoing burden of regulatory requirements.
Compliable’s software platform and tools provide customers both significant time and cost savings, as employees enter key information just once in the licensing process with the information then auto-populated across multiple forms, generating error-free applications every time.
The solution cuts the time it takes to get employees licensed by 90% to less than an hour, which has led to an increase of up to 700% in the number of employees that can be onboarded.
“Following discussions with our customers and prospects, it became clear that there is a demand for our market-leading licensing management solution outside of the United States and we are pleased to now be able to streamline the licensing process for even more companies in additional jurisdictions,” the Chief Executive Officer for Compliable, Chris Oltyan, said. “Licensing compliance can slow down your ability to expand into new markets but it doesn’t have to. Using our platform to remove bottlenecks in the acquisition and management of licenses frees up time and attention so our customers can focus on their go to market plans.”

ITIA: Croatian Official Suspended from Tennis
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) confirmed that Croatian tennis official Marko Stojanovic has been suspended from the sport for five years and six months after admitting to breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme (TACP).
Stojanovic, a national-level official, admitted to 15 breaches of the TACP, including manipulating data from matches in which they were an official to facilitate betting.
Stojanovic, who is accredited at national level and has officiated at ITF tournaments, co-operated fully with the ITIA investigation and accepted an agreed sanction, waiving their right to a hearing before an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer. Stojanovic has also been fined $25,000, of which $18,750 is suspended.
The official’s agreed sanction began on 19 February 2024 and will end at midnight on 18 August 2029.
During the suspension, Stojanovic is prohibited from officiating at, or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the members of the ITIA (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, Fédération Française de Tennis, Wimbledon and USTA).
The ITIA is an independent body established by its tennis members to promote, encourage, enhance and safeguard the integrity of professional tennis worldwide.

MGA Successfully Hosts its First Sports Betting Integrity Conference
The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has hosted its first Sports Betting Integrity Conference, further cementing the Authority’s dedication to fostering open dialogue, knowledge-sharing and maintaining a gaming landscape that is free from corruption and any form of unethical practices.
The event convened high-profile stakeholders integral to the sports betting integrity sector, including the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), the eSports Integrity Commission (ESIC), Genius Sports and Sportradar.
Local stakeholders included the Malta Police Force, the Malta Football Association (MFA), the Authority for Integrity in Maltese Sports and the Office of the Attorney General.
Opening the conference, MGA CEO Charles Mizzi said: “As the MGA, ensuring the integrity of sports betting is not merely a regulatory obligation; it is a cornerstone of our commitment to fostering a fair and sustainable gaming environment.”
Mr Mizzi emphasised that the conference’s foremost objective was that of leading a united effort in addressing the complex challenges of maintaining integrity within sports and sports betting. As the industry continues to transform – introducing new technologies and increasingly sophisticated methods – success depends on the ability to share knowledge, experiences and best practices. Through this synergy, stakeholders can outpace those intent on corrupting the essence of sports and betting.
Such gatherings, therefore, serve as invaluable opportunities to pool resources and expertise, serving as catalysts for positive change. The Authority extends its gratitude to all attendees for their engagement and participation.
