Emerging markets expert set to lead supplier’s 2021 global expansion

 BetGames.TV, the leading live dealer betting games supplier, has appointed Thomas Aigner as Head of Sales, augmenting the company’s ambitious 2021 expansion plans.

Thomas joins from Playtech Sports, where he was Regional Director Emerging Markets and was instrumental in introducing the leading supplier’s Quantum Sports Platform at ICE 2020.

Alongside his pioneering work in supporting the company’s portfolio of operators across emerging markets, including LatAm, Africa and CEE, Thomas has developed a proven track record of expertise across the global omni-channel.

His experience will be warmly welcomed by the supplier, with his new role set to oversee the development and execution of the award-winning studio’s sales strategy for existing and new markets – as well as  managing the continued provision of BetGames.TV’s world-class service.

Thomas’s appointment follows an outstanding year for BetGames.TV, which saw the studio nominated for seven SBC Awards, as well as winning ‘Leader of the Year’ and ‘Live Casino Supplier’ in December.

Andreas Koeberl, BetGames.TV CEO, sees Thomas’s appointment as a true asset for the studio, given his extensive experience across scaling major games verticals across global markets.

He added: “Welcoming Thomas on board is a real coup for us. His experience and industry insight will no doubt prove invaluable for all of us at BetGames.TV – and I’m very excited to get started together.

“His hands-on mentality, authenticity and reliability are just the kind of values we encourage here, so he’ll fit right in as we continue our expansion globally.”  

Thomas Aigner, Head of Sales at BetGames.TV, said: I’m extremely eager to get started in this new challenge and help accelerate the great growth and success story of Betgames.TV, particularly in emerging markets.

“It’s a great pleasure for me to be part of this team, with a host of award-winning products, more of which are coming in the near future. I have no doubt they will strengthen our position, keep us unique and most importantly – at the forefront of new developments.”

Pioneering in its ability to boost player engagement and operator revenue, BetGames.TV is able to offer a winning combination of low-spend and extended playing sessions for players, as well as far greater margins than competing products across live dealer, lottery and casino.

With licences issued by multiple jurisdictions including the UKGC, MGA, Italy, and various South African gambling authorities, as well as Swedish and Colombian licences expected shortly, BetGames.TV is the ‘go to’ supplier of choice for live dealer products across global regulated markets.

The Lithuanian parliament on Tuesday approved restrictions on gambling advertising, set to take effect from next July.

The amendments to the Gaming Law, passed with 73 votes in favour and one abstention, will introduce a ban on gambling advertising starting in July 2025. Exceptions will apply to sports competitions and events, as well as sports sponsorships and broadcasts of sports competitions, which will have a transitional period until January 1, 2028.

Next year’s budget for the Media Support Fund earmarks an additional 4 million euros to compensate media organisations for lost advertising revenue.

Among other things, MPs backed a proposal from the parliamentary Committee on Budget and Finance to have a transitional period until the end of 2027, allowing up to three betting ad spots of under 15 seconds each per hour on television, radio and online between 06:00 and 18:00 and up to two per hour between 18:00 and midnight.

For online media, betting ads without a direct link to the gaming operator’s website will be limited to 20% of advertising space from 06:00 to 18:00 and 10% until midnight.

iDenfy Partners with Confindo to Enhance Security and Prevent Loan Fraud

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

iDenfy, an AI-powered identity verification, compliance and fraud prevention solutions provider, has partnered with Confindo, a leading provider of IT solutions specialising in customer relationship management (CRM) tools for group companies and external partners. This collaboration will help Confindo manage third-party risks and ensure proper fraud and breach prevention while building a seamless and secure verification experience.

The rise in digital transactions has made robust security measures more critical than ever. With security challenges like forged documents and synthetic identities, particularly in the financial and lending sectors, companies increasingly seek advanced solutions to protect their customers. Spending on information security and risk management products and services is expected to grow by 14.3% this year, reaching more than $215 billion. However, many companies operating in the financial sector see fraud as a top priority on the list, where even a single breach can have significant legal and reputational consequences.

Confindo, a dominant player in the consumer lending market since 2018, recognised the importance of securing its platforms against potential threats. Brands under the “Confindo” name, like Lenders, Bancovo, Comparar Prestamos mainly serve as intermediaries for consumer lending services. Consequently, the business is best known for representing over 20 banks and creditors in Lithuania and processing more than 10,000 inquiries monthly. As the business experienced a high volume of requests and new registrations, it required a new trusted Know Your Customer (KYC) vendor to help safeguard its operations, especially in this expansion stage across Europe.

According to Confindo, its recent operations in Latvia and upcoming launches in two new markets also showed a need for extra automation measures in its customer onboarding process. Before partnering with iDenfy, the IT and financial service provider aimed to build a conversion-optimised verification workflow that could remove the hassle around the application onboarding process. Among several identity verification providers, Confindo selected iDenfy for its reliable and efficient identification verification solution. The new software, already trusted by other platforms under Confindo’s management, stood out for its smooth integration with existing systems and provided a comprehensive global document base for more efficient scaling into new markets.

iDenfy’s ID verification solution is designed to automatically recognise, verify and extract information from over 3000 identity documents across 200 countries and territories. This comprehensive approach helps Confindo ensure that all possible safety measures are in place to prevent fraudulent loans, a key concern in the rapidly growing consumer lending sector.

It is worth mentioning that iDenfy is ranked as the top 1 identity verification solution in customer satisfaction on G2, boasting an average of 4.9 stars and over 70 reviews in 2024. This recognition underscores iDenfy’s commitment to providing high-quality, reliable services and prioritizes online user identification security.

“We chose iDenfy because their solution is not only trusted and tested but also perfectly aligns with our commitment to ensuring the highest level of security for our customers,” said Eitautas Bartuškevičius, CEO of Confindo.

Domantas Ciulde, CEO of iDenfy, said: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Confindo in their mission to enhance security within the consumer lending space. By integrating our ID verification solution, we’re helping them create a safer, more reliable platform for their users across multiple countries.”
