Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Bolstering its commitment to innovation and excellence, SOFTSWISS, a cutting-edge software provider for the iGaming industry, obtains two certifications from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI). The SOFTSWISS Casino Platform clinches the GLI-19 certification for Interactive Gaming Systems, while the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook secures the GLI-33 certification for Event Wagering Systems.

Since its launch in 1989, Gaming Laboratories International, a leading gaming equipment testing company, has been setting vital technical standards for global gaming jurisdictions. GLI-19 and GLI-33 are paramount benchmarks for the technical regulation of iGaming markets. The requirements were developed by scrutinising and incorporating insights from guidelines, regulations, and policies provided by regulators and other industry stakeholders, such as the Nevada Gaming Commission and Gaming Control Board, the United Kingdom Gambling Commission, the British Columbia Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, and others.

GLI-19 and GLI-33 impose rigorous standards that iGaming companies must meet for security, fairness, and player protection. Their specifications cover all aspects of the gaming process, spanning game development to payout mechanisms. Attaining such prestigious certifications marks a huge advancement for SOFTSWISS in its journey to secure country licences, given that these standards cover a significant portion of most local software requirements.

Vitali Matsukevich, COO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “Achieving the highest standards of technical compliance set by GLI for both the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform and Sportsbook is a strategic leap forward for us. This accomplishment not only paves the way for us to enter new regulated markets but also reaffirms the exceptional quality of our software. I would like to thank all the teams involved for reaching another significant milestone for SOFTSWISS.”

At the upcoming SBC Summit Barcelona 2023 in September, SOFTSWISS will be showcasing the ecosystem of its innovative products at stand CG58. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with SOFTSWISS representatives and gain valuable insights for their iGaming businesses.

Aviatrix, the award-winning crash game, has received its certification in the Netherlands, meaning Dutch players can enjoy the popular title for the first time.

The certification in the Netherlands opens up yet another important regulated market for Aviatrix, which was recently named ‘Game of the Year’ at the EGR Operator Awards 2024.

Gross gaming revenue in the Netherlands hit €1.39 billion in 2023, and is expected to continue to grow over the coming years.

Dutch operators will now be able to capture this growth via Aviatrix’s innovative title, which is proving hugely popular in regulated markets worldwide.

Anastasia Rimskaya, Chief Account Officer at Aviatrix, said: “The Netherlands has been on our radar for some time, so this is a big day for us here at Aviatrix. We can’t wait to see Dutch players enjoying the title, and we will be working closely with some very special partners in the Netherlands to ensure this game is widely available very soon.”

Part of what makes Aviatrix so successful is the constant updates to the game, which keeps it fresh and exciting for players.

This has included a full redesign with new, 3D assets, as well as a first-of-its-kind free bets function via in-game promo codes.

Spillemyndigheden: Anti-Money Laundering: Screening of Sanctions Lists

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Gambling operators must comply with the EU’s sanctions regarding freezing of assets. Freezing of assets means that it is prohibited to make funds and assets directly or indirectly available to individuals who are subject to the EU’s sanctions.

Freezing of assets must take effect immediately when an individual, business or organisation is added to a list of sanctions. Consequently, a gambling operator must screen their costumers in accordance with the existing and updated lists.

The EU keeps several sanctions lists that are updated regularly. Therefore, the EU has created a database, EU Sanctions Map, which includes all current sanctions lists concerning anti-money laundering. The map can also be used to search across the lists. Individuals, businesses and organisations that are subject to a requirement for freezing of assets is marked with a frost symbol.

In addition to the individuals listed in the EU regulations, gambling operators are also obligated to ensure that the operator’s customers do not appear from the UN’s consolidated asset freeze list. The list is available on the Danish Business Authority’s website: UN’s freezing of assets list.

Gambling operators are responsible for ensuring that funds are not made available to a sanctioned individual – for example by paying out winnings. Please note that breaches of sanctions adopted by the EU or UN may be punishable by fine or imprisonment.

See more information on sanctions and asset freeze on the Danish Business Authority’s website, where a guide on freezing of assets is also available.
