Leading omni-channel turnkey supplier Oryx Gaming will utilise technical compliance database Complitech to assist new market entries, after reaching an agreement with Maxima Compliance.

The deal will see Oryx Gaming using Complitech to supercharge its compliance function. The provider will gain immediate access to all technical compliance requirements for almost 30 regulated markets, as well as a powerful suite of tools to perform gap analysis.

Complitech users enter new regulated markets on average 60 percent faster than competition, saving considerable costs along the way.

Oryx Gaming CEO Matevz Mazij said: “In regulated markets, meeting technical compliance requirements faster and more efficiently is a significant competitive advantage for Oryx Gaming.

“This is why we are so excited to be using Complitech, a one-of-its-kind tool which is already helping us make more informed strategic decisions about future market entries.”

Maxima Compliance Managing Director Antonio Zanghi said: “Oryx Gaming is not only one of the most innovative and fastest-growing suppliers around, but also a company which takes a modern approach to compliance.

“So, we are thrilled to see Oryx utilising Complitech to create additional efficiencies and cost-savings. We continue to build new features into Complitech, and will work closely with Oryx to ensure it delivers exactly what is required.”

Oryx Gaming is one of the leading providers of omni-channel, turnkey solutions, aggregated content, games, sportsbook and lottery. It has more than 15 years of operational experience across most major European markets.

Complitech launched earlier this year as the gaming industry’s first technical compliance database. It lists over 10,000 requirements from almost 30 regulated markets, and has quickly become an essential tool for those looking to expand their global footprint.

On the occasion of the four-year anniversary of the Joint Gambling Authority of the Federal States (GGL) on 1 July 2025, Sandro Kirchner, State Secretary in the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, for Sport and Integration, has taken over the chairmanship of the GGL Administrative Board, succeeding Reiner Moser, Head of Office in the Ministry of the Interior, for Digitalisation and Municipalities for Baden-Württemberg.

During Reiner Moser’s term as Chairman of the Board of Directors, the GGL further established itself as a reliable institution for the supervision and monitoring of the online gambling market.

“The online gambling market has developed rapidly in recent years. The GGL has met the resulting challenges with great commitment and can already demonstrate remarkable results both in combating illegal gambling and in regulating and supervising the legal market. The exchange between the states and the GGL is always trusting and results-oriented. I would like to sincerely thank the Board of Directors and all GGL employees for this constructive cooperation over the past year,” said Head of Department Moser.

State Secretary Kirchner takes over the chairmanship at a time when the GGL is pursuing ambitious goals, including stronger international networking, particularly to further curb the illegal gambling market.

“The consistent prosecution of illegal offerings and player protection are my highest priorities. The work of the GGL must continue to be significantly geared towards ensuring that the business model of illegal gambling is not profitable in Germany,” said Sandro Kirchner.

With regard to his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors, he added: “I look forward to continuing the successful work of everyone involved over the past four years. We will certainly continue to face many challenges. However, I believe the GGL is well positioned to achieve this.”

The Board of Directors is the supervisory and steering body of the GGL. It consists of the heads of departments or state secretaries of the ministries responsible for gaming supervision in the 16 member states. The chair of the Board of Directors rotates annually on July 1st in alphabetical order of the member states.

L&GNSW Launches Compliance Campaign

The Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) has launched a compliance campaign focusing on external gambling signage and internal gambling related signage that is visible from the outside of the premises.

Inspectors will be engaging licensees and attending venues to assess compliance.

L&GNSW will be taking escalated enforcement action against any venue found not to be complying with the requirements.

From 1 December 2023, L&GNSW adopted a zero-tolerance enforcement approach regarding external gambling-related signage. This followed a compliance campaign which involved the removal of all external gambling related signage such as “VIP Lounge,” signage that includes dragon imagery or similar, and the removal of adopted imagery including images associated with gaming machines.

External gambling related signage at hotels and registered clubs are subjected to the requirements of sections 43 and 44 of the Gaming Machines Act 2001 NSW (the Act).

These requirements are in place to continue supporting gambling harm minimisation by reducing the visibility and promotion of gambling, particularly to vulnerable individuals and the broader community.

Venues that are not yet compliant should consult the 2023 Compliance Campaign: External gaming signage for hotels & clubs position paper or contact the Hospitality Concierge for additional information on the requirements.

L&GNSW recommends venues conduct self-audits to ensure their obligations and requirements in relation to the Act are met. A Gaming Harm Minimisation Fact sheet is also available.

Breaches of section 43(1) and 44(1) of the Act can result in on the spot fines of $1100 per offence or a maximum fine of $11,000 per offence if prosecuted.
