The company will continue to provide its integrated solution Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) for Class 4 venues to the Department of Internal Affairs.

INTRALOT S.A. announces that its subsidiary INTRALOT New Zealand Ltd., has signed with the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) of New Zealand a six-year contract extension from 2026 to 2032, with a one-year further extension option, for the provision of Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) solution for Class 4 (non-casino) electronic gaming machines. In parallel, DIA has exercised its right to utilise the one-year extension option in the current EMS Service Agreement with INTRALOT New Zealand for continued supply of the EMS, extending the agreement from 10 May 2025 to 10 May 2026.

EMS was introduced by INTRALOT in March 2007 to track and monitor gaming machine operations in Class 4 venues (such as pubs and clubs), ensuring the integrity of games and accurate financial reporting. Through the new contract extension, INTRALOT will continue the provision of its industry-proven EMS platform for DIA, as well as a series of significant upgrades to the current EMS platform that will enable a new range of advanced services and functionalities for the Class 4 gambling sector.

The new extension builds on long-standing partnership of DIA with INTRALOT and demonstrates our company’s successful collaboration in implementing and operating the EMS platform in New Zealand to the highest industry standards. INTRALOT’s world-class platform and EMS services are fully aligned with IGSA (International Gaming Standards Association) and meet the most comprehensive regulatory requirements. Furthermore, it should be noted that INTRALOT’s advanced services to DIA will continue fully supporting the New Zealand Gambling Regulators responsible gaming requirements.

INTRALOT invests heavily in the development and delivery of state-of-the-art central monitoring systems for regulated markets. This new extension follows INTRALOT’s recent project with Nebraska’s Charitable Gaming Division (USA) to implement a real-time monitoring system set to launch soon, while the company’s system is already operational in Victoria (Australia), Georgia, and Ohio (USA).

Midnite, a fast-growing UK sportsbook and casino, has appointed Zach Amin as Vice-President of Sportsbook.

Amin makes the move from Sky Bet, where he spent more than a decade, most recently in the role of Head of Trading.

The appointment comes as Midnite strives to capitalise on a period of strong growth, recently announcing a partnership with the 2025 World Snooker Championship and the launch of its first TV advertising campaign.

Amin joined Sky Betting & Gaming as a football trader in 2013 and worked in various trading roles across risk and football operations before leading the pre-match football team and becoming increasingly involved in commercial and product strategies. Amin was named Sky Bet Head of Trading after following the takeover by Flutter in 2020.

He said: “I’m delighted to join Midnite at what is such a pivotal movement in our growth journey. Midnite is perfectly positioned to challenge the tier-1 operators in the UK and I’m looking forward to playing a key role as we take betting into a new era.”

Midnite’s sportsbook was launched in 2018 by Nick Wright and Daniel Qu, who previously created daily fantasy sports platform Dribble in partnership with Sky Bet.

The brand is focused on disrupting the UK betting market, prioritising the player experience with a slick website and app and a brand platform designed to speak to a new generation of players.

Wright said: “We’re thrilled to welcome someone of Zach’s calibre to the Midnite team and he will play an integral role in our goal of becoming the most exciting betting app on earth.”
