EveryMatrix gamification solution JackpotEngine, that provides brands with the power to add a configurable jackpot layer to any game, has received a Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) approval.

MGA approval will enable EveryMatrix to offer and integrate its innovative product to potentially hundreds of Malta-licensed brands.

JackpotEngine, integrated via EveryMatrix productivity platform CasinoEngine, is a complete Jackpot Management System that allows operators to seamlessly create, configure and control their own jackpots for any selection of games across any casino vertical and player segment significantly boosting acquisition and retention rates.

The product boosts acquisition and creates an incentive for players to remain loyal to a brand for increased retention and lifetime value. Each game round offers additional excitement with more chances to win for prolonged game sessions.

GAME ROUND AND BET SIZE UPLIFT

A comparison of game session metrics for two like-for-like EveryMatrix customers examining games before and after they were assigned to a JackpotEngine powered jackpot has shown extremely positive results, with the number of rounds per session increasing 25% and 11% and average bet amount climbing 30% and 50% respectively.

Built for regulated markets JackpotEngine offers the possibility to remain fully compliant where traditional bonusing is either limited or not an option.

Operators have complete control over the selection of games where a jackpot is offered as well as player segmentation, winning probability, seed amounts, winning cap, contribution distribution, and the split of contribution funding between operators and players, while also accessing real-time monitoring and reporting of jackpot transactions.

Stian Enger, Head of CasinoEngine, EveryMatrix, said: “The testing we’ve done in the first phase of release has shown exceptional uplift in game rounds, session times and bet size so we’re confident JackpotEngine will be a game changer.

“I’m delighted with the MGA approval and this will significantly boost the product’s roll out in the months to come.”

JackpotEngine is available to EveryMatrix operators either via CasinoEngine, or pure B2B aggregation solution SlotMatrix and its entire library of content, including 140+ integrations from 250+ game studios across multiple verticals.

Associate Professor Amelia Thorpe and Nicholas Nichles have been appointed following a rigorous public expression of interest selection process. Additionally, existing member Chris Honey has been appointed deputy chairperson.

Mr Honey has extensive experience in the advisory and restructuring field, including working extensively in highly regulated sectors.

Associate Professor Thorpe and Mr Nichles have both been appointed for four years commencing 6 November 2024.

Associate Prof Thorpe is with the Faculty of Law & Justice at the University of New South Wales and an Acting Commissioner of the NSW Land and Environment Court.

Mr Nichles was previously a Consul General and Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner for Australian Government agency Austrade, based in the US.

The new appointments bring the ILGA board membership to seven. The new appointments will join chairperson Caroline Lamb, new deputy chairperson Mr Honey and current members Cathie Armour, Jeffrey Loy APM and Dr Suzanne Craig.

Ireland’s New Gambling Regulator to Begin Work on Phased Basis Next Year

Published

Ireland’s new gambling regulator is likely to begin overseeing betting businesses in the Republic midway through next year, industry figures predict.

President Micheal D Higgins recently signed the new Gambling Regulation Act, which overhauls licensing and creates a new authority to govern betting firms, into law. Industry figures forecast that the new regime should begin operating midway through next year, a key point for many businesses as they will have to renew online betting licences by that time.

Government also has to pass several milestones before the new Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland can start functioning, including appointing the seven people the body requires.

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee appointed senior civil servant Anne Marie Caulfield as chief executive designate of the authority in summer 2022. Her office has 11 staff. According to the Department of Justice, the State’s Public Appointments Service will shortly begin recruiting the authority’s seven members.

The Minister will appoint the candidates the service recommends.

The department could not say when the authority would start regulating but noted this would happen in a phased “timely manner” after its establishment.

Jack Chambers, Minister for Finance, earmarked €9.1 million for the authority next year in this month’s budget. That includes €4 million for technology.

Ms Caulfield wrote to industry organisations last week confirming that her organisation would begin its work on a “phased basis” but pointing out that it has already completed many preparations. In a statement she said that the authority was committed to keeping the industry fully informed so businesses can “plan for the new regulatory regime”.

Meanwhile, the Public Service Appointments Service last week advertised for someone to head the authority’s social fund. Under the new law’s provisions, betting businesses will contribute to this fund which the authority will use to tackle problem gambling.

Betting businesses regard the fund’s establishment as one of the key steps towards establishing the new regime.

Alongside that, they say that the authority will also have to set up its new licensing system. The law demands that all gambling businesses operating in the Republic be licensed and makes it a criminal offence to operate without a proper permit.

Lawyers at Arthur Cox recently noted that current permits are preserved until licensing sections of the act come into force. Existing high street and online bookies’ licences will have a run-off period, but lawyers said that how this would work in practice depended on how the regulator developed the new system.

Betting businesses are keen that the authority works on a national self-exclusion register for customers who voluntarily ask bookmakers not to take their bets. Currently, most individual bookies have systems where customers who fear they have a problem, or are at risk, can exclude themselves in this way.
