STS will deliver new innovations to its home market of Poland after becoming the exclusive operator of BetBooster, developed by sports data studio LVision.

BetBooster is an automated sports insight feed designed to optimise customer engagement with betting markets, based on historical data of markets and AI analysis of player behaviours.

STS informed that it is just the third operator worldwide to launch LVision’s BetBooster service, and has exclusive rights to the product in Poland.

“STS once again strengthens its position not only as a clear industry leader in terms of market shares (46.6% of current market share) but also as the most technologically advanced and innovative bookmaker in the country,” Mateusz Juroszek, President and owner of STS, said.

“It is also another step on the way to further consistent and effective development of our competitive advantages in Poland and on foreign markets,” he added.

The German Commission for the Protection of Young People in the Media (Kommission für Jugendmedienschutz – KJM) has approved HooYu as a suitable age verification system.

The KJM offers providers legal certainty by reviewing concepts and systems to check that they meet the technical requirements to satisfactorily perform age verification which enables ID document validation and identification by means of an automated process involving the comparison of biometric data.

“As gaming operators embrace the new German regulatory regime, they are looking to age verification systems approved by the KJM. At the same time, operators want a customer sign-up process that makes it easy and convenient for the user to go through the age verification process. The HooYu digital KYC journey does just that, it solves both sides of the equation – what the regulator is looking for and that smooth sign-up experience that gaming operators want to provide to their users,” David Pope, Marketing Director of HooYu, said.

The German Sports Betting Association (DSWV) has elected Jens Becker to its executive committee.

Munich lawyer Jens Becker has worked for bwin for almost two decades.

Becker succeeds Christoph Nestelberger, who, according to DSWV, resigned from his office on November 30 due to a career change.

Jens Becker is looking forward to the cooperation in the DSWV Presidium and the challenge of “developing the new regulation and making it a success.”

DSWV President Mathias Dahms welcomes Becker as “a competent and committed gaming law expert for many years.” He will enrich the Presidium with his high level of competence and extensive experience in the area of ​​online regulation.
