Veikkaajat launches SafePlay certification programme for online casinos
The reputable gambling affiliate platform Veikkaajat announced about establishing its certification programme for online casinos. Overall, the platform is aimed to provide players with only safe and secure online gambling sites, and this certificate will facilitate the reviewing processes. This is excellent news for players who are looking to play in reputable and trustworthy online gambling platforms!Â
First Step: Casino ReviewsÂ
When it comes to the fairness of both the games and casinos, Veikkaajat takes it seriously. It all starts with testing the casino in the best way possible, wading through its terms and fine print to get the most accurate picture possible of the casino’s operations.
Casino Bonuses are always evaluated
The platform makes every effort to make all of the pertinent information about the online casino as simple to read as possible in its reviews. Thus, players can quickly determine what kind of casino it is and what it has to offer, such as bonuses and game selection, at a glance.
To be precise, it places a high value on the casino’s welcome bonus because it is often the first thing that players notice in the first place. On its website, players can see how it rates bonuses on a scale of 1-5. For example, if a bonus has particularly stringent terms and conditions, it will be considered in Veikkaajat’s overall rating procedure.
Game Selection & User ExperienceÂ
The variety of games offered by a casino is taken into account as well. While some players prefer as many different games as possible, others are content to repeat pairs of the same game repeatedly. As a result, while the number of games does not always indicate the selection quality, the platform assumes that the largest and most well-known manufacturers supply a casino.Â
The important point in this list is user experience. Veikkaajat checks how easy it is to navigate through the game’s lobby. Even though a simple word search is no longer sufficient, it is impossible to find anything in the vast array of modern casinos without the use of appropriate filters.
Safety RequirementsÂ
Even though there are many online casinos, not every gambling site can prove its security and fairness. Veikkaajat carefully checks casinos’ licenses and ensures that sites meet specific criteria before suggesting casinos to the readers.Â
To be precise, usually a reputable gaming authority issues the license. For example, the Maltese Gaming Authority (MGA), UKCG licenses are the most common, but Veikkaajat also lists casinos granted an Estonian or Curaçao Gaming License.Â
The SSL certificate should be mentioned as well since it is a digital certificate that encrypts data. It ensures that all communication between a casino site and its players is safe and secure. In this way, the information sent to the casino is protected from being intercepted by third parties. By keeping in mind players’ security, casinos need to implement such technology. All the casinos listed on the Veikkaajat site are trustworthy and secure, not just at this point.Â
Payment Methods
Payment processors for online casinos must also adhere to the same standards as the casinos themselves. This means that all transfers to and from the casino are protected by encryption and that all payment services are well-known and approved by the relevant authorities in each jurisdiction.
Responsible Gaming
Playing should always be enjoyable, but it has the potential to become an addiction in some cases. The online casino must have the tools necessary to assist the gambler and to keep gambling under control. These measures may include, for example, suspending a player’s account, imposing game limits, or prohibiting them from participating in the casino’s games altogether. In addition, the casino should have a page dedicated to identifying problem gambling and locating assistance.
Step two: Verification by a Twitch streamerÂ
In the digital age, it is difficult to stay afloat without adapting to new realities. The Veikkaajat understands this better than anyone else, which is why the second step on the way to obtaining a SafePlay Certificate is a verification by a Twitch streamer, Gargamies.Â
The essence is that Gargamies makes a video review of a casino for a nominal fee. To make a video review, Veikkaajat ensures to register with the casino and make a deposit. According to the rules, Gargamies claim the welcome bonus and play in available games. By completing the KYC, the streamer will withdraw funds to see how easy the procedure is. If there are no problems encountered during the testing, the certificate will be issued.
Importantly, the results will be posted on the Veikkaajat site regardless of the outcome. Hence, it proves again how fair the SafePlay certification procedure is.
ConclusionÂ
To sum it up, Veikkaajat, being one of the most comprehensive online casino comparison sites, made this certification procedure to show players all the seriousness of its intentions. To support players in their desire to gamble on only safe and secure platforms, the site has a structured review algorithm. All in all, the SafePlay certificate will significantly facilitate the search for trustworthy casinos and save players from scammers and deception.Â

Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: âOur members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientationâconnecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: âWe represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.â
Januaryâs editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
