Videoslots statement regarding Swedish Gambling Authority injunction
A spokesperson for Videoslots said: “Videoslots notes the decision made by the Swedish regulator and is pleased that it confirms compliant implementation of the bonus, deposit and time limits put in place by the Swedish government to counter a perceived increase of risks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“According to the decision, these regulations also prohibit the withdrawal-related functionality which remained in question. We will comply and remove this functionality, having already offered to do so during the assessment.
“We do not, however, believe that we were in breach of the COVID-19, or any other regulations, and call for greater clarity to aid responsible operators like ourselves. Furthermore, we maintain our position that these regulations are both unreasonable and unjustifiable.
“Not only are they contradicted by facts and damaging to licensed operators, they are also completely counterproductive to their declared aim of player protection and push players into the arms of illegal operators. We will therefore continue to challenge these regulations.”
iGaming Ontario has welcomed the decision of the Ontario Superior Court, which found that iGaming Ontario’s model is consistent with the Criminal Code and that iGaming Ontario is conducting and managing igaming in the province.
“We have always been confident in our model and are pleased that the court has ruled in our favour, and that Ontarians can continue to play with confidence in our regulated igaming market,” said Martha Otton, Executive Director of iGaming Ontario.
“Ontario’s model meets the requirements and contributes to the public good by protecting players, their data and their funds, while helping to fund priority public services in Ontario, and bringing well-paid, high-tech jobs and economic development to Ontario,” Otton added.
In dismissing the application brought forward by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK), the Superior Court found that iGaming Ontario is the “operating mind” behind Ontario’s competitive igaming market in accordance with the conduct and manage requirements of the Criminal Code.
iGaming Ontario will continue to conduct and manage igaming as it has since the launch of the regulated market on April 4, 2022.

Supremeland Gaming Continues U.S. Expansion With Supplier License Approval In Michigan
Supremeland Gaming, Inc., the emerging brand in American iGaming, has gained approval for a Supplier License in Michigan, marking the company’s fourth U.S. state approval following the successful acquisition of interim approvals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
Supremeland Gaming is approved to operate under this license and is now authorized to offer its cutting-edge innovation to the Great Lakes State. Their continued expansion underscores its commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the iGaming industry.
Rickard Öhrn, CEO of Supremeland Gaming, said: “With approvals already in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and West Virginia, our entry into Michigan underscores our dedication to serving players nationwide. We are excited about the opportunities this new market brings and look forward to delivering innovative, engaging, and responsible gaming solutions to the rapidly growing U.S. iGaming community.”
Supremeland’s game portfolio has garnered international appeal since its debut in November 2023. The innovative brand produces first-class games, including Red Panda Rising
and its global debut, Munition Mine, for which its subsidiary, Powderkeg Studios, is shortlisted at the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards.
Compliance consultancy BetComply, independent test lab RiskCherry and legal advisory White Coral have agreed a strategic alliance, meaning the trio can now offer a complete, go-to-market service to igaming suppliers looking to launch their products in new jurisdictions.
The new service was born out of direct feedback from games studios who were struggling with the need to engage multiple advisories and consultancies ahead of new market launches.
By combining forces, BetComply, RiskCherry and White Coral are together able to provide an efficient and seamless experience, as well as a unified conclusion to each project: the relevant licence or certification for the supplier.
BetComply will cover pre-compliance testing, understanding technical requirements and policy drafting; RiskCherry will handle testing, inspection and certification; and White Coral will provide legal coverage across software agreements, sales contracts and more.
Daniel Brookes, CEO at BetComply, said: “For too long, launching content in new markets was a fragmented and frustrating process for games studios. By teaming up with RiskCherry and White Coral, we’re able to eliminate the guesswork, opacity and many of the hidden costs. This isn’t just streamlining a process; we’re setting a new standard for the industry.”
Mihael Mladenov, COO at RiskCherry, said: “We’re really excited to work alongside BetComply and White Coral on this game-changing service. It brings together three of the most forward-thinking companies in their respective fields, and provides a one-stop-shop for games suppliers.”
Steven Matsell, Managing Partner and Founder at White Coral, said: “White Coral has always been focused on cutting through legal complexity, and alongside BetComply and RiskCherry, we’re now able to offer our services in a way that further simplifies the process for suppliers. This is a major win for any business wanting to complete agreements faster and more cost effectively.”
