Authentic Gaming makes Lithuania debut with TOPsport

Live roulette specialist partners with the country’s most popular betting brand as it continues to deploy its international expansion plan
Live roulette specialist, Authentic Gaming, has entered the recently regulated Lithuanian market for the very first time after partnering with tier one gambling operator, TOPsport.
Under the deal, players at TOPsport will be able to access Authentic Gaming’s engaging and entertaining live roulette products streamed from the provider’s state of the art ARENA Studio.
This includes Blaze Roulette, 24/7 Roulette and Grand Roulette plus the provider’s latest premium table series, the Las Vegas Collection, which includes Nightclub Roulette and Viva Las Vegas Roulette.
These games aim to bring the fun and frivolity of Las Vegas to life, capturing the bright lights and neon signs of the infamous strip and combining it with the convenience of online play.
TOPsport is the largest sports betting brand in Lithuania. It launched in 2001 when it became the country’s first registered betting company.
Since then, TOPsport has led the way by becoming the first operator to launch online in 2005 and then to offer mobile betting in 2011, making it the true market leader.
Authentic Gaming’s partnership with TOPsport furthers its strategy to work with the biggest operators in regulated markets around the world.
Magdalena Podhorska-Okolow, CCO of Authentic Gaming, said: “Lithuania is a new market for Authentic Gaming but one where we see huge potential for live roulette and our products in particular.
“TOPsport is the right partner to enter the market with as it has built an incredible reputation over the years for providing the absolute best retail, online and mobile betting experience.
“The addition of our live roulette games allows TOPsport to stand out from its rivals and further establish itself as the number one betting brand in the country.”
Gintaras Staniulis, CEO at TOPsport, said: “From day one we have been the market leader in Lithuania and partnering with Authentic Gaming is yet another way we are offering our players more.
“Live casino provides a truly authentic experience but with the convenience of playing online and Authentic Gaming’s live roulette titles are among the best of the best.
“We believe they will be a big hit with our players and look forward to a long and successful partnership with our new friends at Authentic Gaming.”

Lithuanian Regulator Issues Fines to Gaming Strategy Group and Tete-a-Tete Casino

Lithuania’s Gambling Supervisory Authority has issued fines to Gaming Strategy Group, the operator of Betsson-owned Betsafe in the country, and Tete-a-Tete Casino.
Gaming Strategy Group was fined €25,000 for breaching rules regarding advertising after it distributed a newsletter to 10,430 customers about an online game.
Sent in February this year, the newsletter included information about the game and its features, as well as the option for players to click on links to log in to their account or to request a new password if they had forgotten their login details.
Last year, the Lithuanian government introduced a ban on range of gambling advertising, including promotional bonuses. The law on gambling prohibits the promotion of gambling through activities such as special events, test games, promotions, discounts, gifts and other incentives.
In its ruling, the Gambling Supervisory Authority said that as the newsletter’s intention was to draw attention to a gambling service and specific details about the game, including its win percentage and free spins features, this was in breach of Article 10 (19) of Lithuania’s gambling regulations (ALI).
In the case of Tete-a-Tete Casino, the Gambling Supervisory Authority issued the operator a fine of €15,000 for allowing players located outside Lithuania to gamble through its website remotely.
The regulator said this breached Article 205, Part 3, Article 201, Part 1 of the ALI as gambling with an operator licensed in Lithuania while not physically located in the country is illegal on the part of the gambling operator.
Tete-a-Tete Casino was also warned that its licence could be suspended if it does not put in place the relevant processes to halt such activity in the future. The operator has until 10 August to comply with the request.
The Gambling Supervisory Authority noted that neither decision was final, and both of the operators can appeal the rulings.
