Wazdan awarded ISO/IEC 27001 Certificate
Wazdan announces that on the 22nd of July the company received the ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for Risk Management and Information Security, awarded only to the elite group of companies that meet strict requirements imposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The certification process involves testing the security in important areas, including Development and provision of Gaming Platform and Casino Games or Designing and production of game mathematics, among others.
Wazdan is a well-acclaimed company with a true passion for games, and more than 10 years of experience in the iGaming industry, with a portfolio of over 120 games that along with the ISO certificate prove wholehearted dedication to customers. These qualities are what give the company their drive and opportunity for development and growth to be experienced in the near future.
This certificate marks an important milestone for the company and allows Wazdan to continue its further expansion onto the next regulated markets. And with the launch of several new and innovative games this year, Wazdan’s team is well prepared to push their success forward and offer well-designed products to a growing number of players and operators alike.
“Our talented team is created by the people who are truly passionate about games, and because of that, we’re holding ourselves to high standards. The elite international ISO certificate proves the outstanding quality of our processes, products and services that will help us continue the dynamic growth we’ve experienced over the last several years,” says Michał Imiołek, CEO of Wazdan.
The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has imposed a first penalty payment order on YouTube influencer LeftlanePapi for promoting illegal gambling.
The YouTube channel LeftlanePapi showed videos with live streams of online gambling from illegal providers. The illegal providers were also actively advertised, by encouraging viewers to also play there. The KSA issued a warning to the influencer. Because the content in question was not removed after the warning and new streams were made, the KSA imposed a penalty. Existing content must be removed and no new advertising may be made. If this does happen, the influencer will receive a penalty of €25,000 per violation, with a maximum of €75,000.
With its new approach, the KSA opts for a two-track policy. After establishing a violation, influencers receive a message that they must stop their activities within 48 hours and that illegal content must be removed. If the influencer does not do so, the KSA approaches the social media platform so that the harmful content is removed in any case. The influencer is given a penalty under penalty of a fine, as was also the case with Leftlanepapi. The KSA has now warned several influencers.
