Belgian Gaming Operators Sign Pact to Help Prevent Problem Gambling
Six Belgian gaming operators signed the Duty of Care Covenant last week. They are committed to developing a policy that more quickly identifies and prevents problematic gaming behaviour, the Belgian Association of Gaming Operators (BAGO) reports.
“Sciensano estimates that around 0.9 per cent of the population is prone to gambling addiction. This is often accompanied by emotional, relational and financial problems. We want to prevent that at all costs because legal gaming operators want to offer a safe form of entertainment. After all, you don’t build sustainable economic activity on the back of addictions,” said Damien Thiéry, secretary general of BAGO.
By signing the covenant, the six operators commit to developing a prevention policy based on four pillars: a detection system based on algorithms, AI and scientifically based criteria that identifies potentially risky behaviour; actions or recommendations to protect the gambler, such as providing information on potential risks, proposing voluntary deposit limits or exclusion; education and training for staff so they can identify potential problems and take appropriate actions; and sharing the prevention policy with the Gaming Commission.
BAGO comprises operators Ardent Group, Betfirst, Golden Palace, Napoleon, Star Casino and Kindred, which account for about 70% of the Belgian private gambling market.
Meanwhile, new legislation will require betting shops to carry out identity checks as of 1 December. These controls will better prevent underage individuals or those on the Excluded Persons Information System (EPIS) from placing bets.
The EPIS list is intended to help protect people with gambling problems. Currently, 48,641 people are excluded voluntarily, 919 by a third party, 661 by an administrator, 66,474 because of collective debt settlement, 5932 because of a court decision and 58,234 because of the nature of their occupation.

Creedroomz Introduces Cashout Blackjack

Creedroomz has launched Cashout Blackjack, a new version of its popular Live Blackjack game designed to redefine player engagement. This major update features a groundbreaking Side Bet Gamble mechanic, a completely redesigned UI and other key enhancements that deliver a new standard of excitement.
The Side Bet Gamble is an industry-first feature that gives players total control over their side bet winnings. Unlike traditional bonus rounds that are passive or tied to specific game events, this optional decision occurs only for players who have won a side bet, right at the end of the round after the last dealer card has been dealt. Players are given a choice: Gamble their winnings for a chance to double their payout, or Skip and keep their original amount. This high-stakes, real-time decision point transforms every win into an exhilarating risk-reward moment.
Cashout Blackjack also includes a suite of powerful updates:
Sleek New UI: A fully redesigned interface built for seamless usability on all devices.
Rebalanced Side Bets: Payouts have been rebalanced to make side bets more compelling and rewarding.
Auto-stand applied on hard / non-splitable scores of 17, 18, 19 and 20.
The new Cashout Blackjack, complete with the Side Bet Gamble feature, is now available to all Creedroomz partners. This launch underscores Creedroomz’s strategic vision to provide partners with groundbreaking tools that ensure they remain at the forefront of the competitive iGaming market.

StatRankings Launches with Aim to Deliver Faster, Cleaner, and Smarter Sports Data Experience

StatRankings, the ultimate data hub for sports fans, bettors, and fantasy players, announced the launch of its new website. Designed for speed, simplicity, and privacy, StatRankings helps users make smarter decisions by removing the clutter of outdated, stat sites. With more than 500 NFL data points organized on dedicated, ad-free pages, fans can instantly find the data they need to help set fantasy lineups or put together a betting slip without endless tables, pop-ups, or dashboards getting in the way.
“The sports stats industry has been stuck in the past for too long. These sites supposedly designed for bettors, fantasy players, and media are archaic, cumbersome, and confusing. We are committed to keeping the experience of finding stats as smooth and easy as possible, without all the noise. We want StatRankings to represent a new standard in how sports data can be delivered,” said Kevin Adams, Founder of StatRankings and fantasy sports industry veteran.
In addition to the launch of its website, StatRankings created a partnership with One Week Season, a premium DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) subscription service that offers content, tools, and community. StatRankings data will be used across shows and articles found on One Week Season’s site for the duration of the NFL season.
“One Week Season is all about teaching people the ‘how’ when it comes to becoming a better DFS player. StatRankings helps us in that mission by making sharper and deeper data more accessible and doing so in a manner that has previously been awkward and downright clumsy. By incorporating StatRankings into our content, we’re able to offer the most optimized insights to our users for their success,” said One Week Season’s CEO Jordan Tohline.
