Neccton’s mentor solution increases market leader position in Germany


Tipwin, a recently licensed German online slots operator, signs up for industry-leading responsible gambling solution
Tipwin, one of the emerging players in Germany’s rapidly-growing regulated iGaming scene, has adopted Neccton’s mentor software to fulfil both its Responsible Gambling, and Anti-Money Laundering requirements.
The online brand Tipwin.de is one of nine companies currently listed on Germany’s national regulator’s White List.
Germany only recently allowed online gambling for its citizens, with the law changing in summer 2021, and regulations remain stringent for operators – but that has not stopped Tipwin’s success story. And now the company has teamed up with Neccton, their players can be assured of the ultimate protection while they enjoy their slot and casino play.
German online gambling operators must employ a maximum monthly deposit limit, and also use an academic algorithm to identify problem gambling – which made Neccton’s mentor the obvious choice.
mentor tracks possible problematic gambling behaviour using real-time data analysis and works to help both players and operators to identify potential issues early. The tool recognises triggers such as a significant increase in deposit frequency, and alerts the operator and directly contacts the player, helping the end user make better-informed decisions.
mentor also includes modules for Fraud and aCRM so Neccton’s customers can solve many issues with a single supplier.
“Our system is based on 15 years of experience in responsible gaming and over 40 academic publications,” said Neccton director and head of development Dr Michael Auer. He added: “We are active in more than 20 markets including New Zealand, Canada and the US and have grown from a responsible gaming provider to a full-service compliance solution.”
Dr Michael Auer further added: “The numbers speak for themselves. An amazing 90% of Germany’s licensed online slots operators are using mentor.”
As part of the monitoring and reporting functions, Tipwin has expanded its own software to include the mentor program from Neccton. “With this component we round off our software in order to meet the regulatory as well as in-house requirements and obligations towards the authorities and customers,” explains Dr. Damir Böhm, head of the legal and communications department at Tipwin. Ivica Batinic, CEO of Tipwin, is certain that a long-term partnership could be established here: “We are convinced of the product and want to intensify the technical exchange with Michael Auer and the company Neccton in our mutual interest.”

These are the most successful new games in Germany in 2022

Be it exciting sports games, games for the entire family, epic journeys into fantastical worlds, or action-packed adventure – 2022 offered a wide range of video game titles to choose from. This can be seen in the German annual charts for the bestselling PC and console games that were released in 2022. The hit sports game ‘EA SPORTS FIFA 23’ (Electronic Arts) captured first place in the list of bestselling new game releases in 2022. Another major success: ‘Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ (Nintendo) from the popular Pokémon series for the Nintendo Switch. This action role-playing game took second place in the list of bestselling games for the year just ended. Third place in the German charts for 2022 was secured by the award-winning open-world game ‘ELDEN RING’ (Bandai Namco Entertainment), which was the result of a collaboration between game developer Hidetaka Miyazaki and author George R. R. Martin. Just two months after its release at the end of October 2022, first-person shooter game ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II’ (Activision) made it into fourth place. It was followed in fifth place by the action-adventure game ‘LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’ (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment), whose missions are based on the most important events from the nine ‘Star Wars’ films.

Stian Hornsletten, Chief Commercial Officer at EveryMatrix, said: “Since 2016 we have made significant inroads in the lottery sector and now work with some of the biggest organisations in the world, powering and servicing their digital offerings to millions of their customers.
“Winning SZRT ahead of many of our competitors yet again underlines the quality of our technology solutions, services, and expertise across multiple elements, from sportsbook and player account management to bonusing, payments and affiliate management.
