St8.io, the next-generation content aggregator, has been granted a recognition notice by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), as it continues to expand its worldwide reach.

The recognition notice, which gives the same rights as a standard MGA B2B licence, is based upon St8’s existing licence in Romania, which was granted by the Romanian National Gambling Office last year.

St8 will now be able to provide its platform within the MGA’s globally-renowned framework, marking the latest step in the aggregator’s rapid growth since launching less than two years ago.

“Receiving this approval from the MGA was a key strategic goal for St8,” said St8.io CEO Vladimir Negine. “This will enable us to provide our platform to operators in MGA-regulated markets worldwide, maintaining the highest levels of player protection along the way. Alongside the licence we received in Romania, we’re now able to support partners in even more markets. Our plan is to continue to expand our licensed footprint in 2024 and beyond.”

St8’s innovative approach to content aggregation has already earned praise from operators and game suppliers looking for a solution that replaces manual work with cutting-edge technology.

A key part of why operators and suppliers trust St8 is because of the stability and security the platform guarantees, particularly around confidential information.

The St8 platform also delivers deep integrations, meaning those operators don’t miss out on additional functionality from games studios.

Swedish Regulator Imposes Fine of SEK12M on Videoslots

The Swedish gambling regulator, Spelinspektionen, has fined Videoslots SEK12m (£937,016) for failing to help customers better manage their gambling behaviour when it had reason to do so.

The regulator said that the company did not take sufficiently effective measures to intervene on excessive gaming and “did not act promptly enough.”

The fine, along with a formal warning, comes after a Spelinspektionen investigation into Videoslots’ customer activity in spring last year. The regulator found that the company breached its duty of care obligations.

Twelve customers’ gaming behaviour was analysed, with the regulator concluding that their gambling patterns, deposit behaviours and “significant losses” were among the “multiple indicators” that the customers engaged in excessive gaming.

A number of the 12 customers returned to Videoslots’ platform to play “multiple times” during the day or play “continuously for many hours.”

The regulator said all of the customers had “very high deposit limits.” Three had limits of SEK1m (£78,164), one had a limit of SEK4.5m (£351,912) and another player’s limit was SEK300m (£23.5m).

All customers deposited “large amounts” during the review period, Spelinspektionen said, including one who deposited SEK1.8m (£140,785) and another who deposited SEK1.3m (£101,721).

“Several customers exhibited a deposit pattern where withdrawn amounts were deposited again shortly after being withdrawn,” the regulator said.

“For several customers, there were also a large number of deposits in a short period. Some customers regularly made multiple deposits per gambling day… and one customer had days with up to 28 deposits.”

“In light of the above, Spelinspektionen assesses that all the customers have engaged in excessive gambling during the review period,” the regulator concluded.

“The company has pointed out that individual indicators, on their own, may not necessarily be signs of excessive gambling. According to Spelinspektionen, all the above-mentioned indicators are signs of excessive gambling, and the overall assessment of all indicators forms the basis for the conclusion.”
