Casino game supplier Skyline Solutions launches after Isle of Man licence approval
Casino game software supplier Skyline Solutions has officially launched in the Isle of Man after being awarded a gaming licence on the island.
Skyline Solutions has been awarded a Gambling Supervision Commission B2B software supplier licence, which will allow the company to resell games to a global market of customers.
Skyline engaged Douglas-based SolutionsHub to assist with the successful application process.
Skyline director Angie Chung said: “We are thrilled to have been awarded the licence and to officially announce our launch.
“The Isle of Man offers us a superb base from which we can serve clients all over the world and gives our software developer partners the confidence that comes with such a highly respected licence.
“The Isle of Man is already home to some hugely respected igaming companies and we are delighted to be joining such prestigious neighbours.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the team at SolutionsHub for their experience and knowhow at our disposal throughout the application process and we look forward to a successful relationship working together.”
The GSC Software Supplier Licence was developed following demand from companies located around the world requesting to be licensed by a highly experienced regulator. Software suppliers who obtain a licence can ensure they meet the same high standards as the Isle of Man-licensed operators they supply their games to.
Nick Wright, SolutionsHub Chief Operating Officer, said: “The Isle of Man licence is among the most respected in the industry and is renowned for offering operators and their players the highest levels of safety and security.
“Being licensed in the Isle of Man allows Skyline Solutions to serve a large and lucrative market and to achieve the company’s goals of growing rapidly. We’re delighted to be helping them on the way to achieving success.”
Lyle Wraxall, CEO Digital Isle of Man commented: “It continues to be a busy time for licence applications through the GSC and I am delighted to see Skyline join our approved list of licence holders. It’s great to see that through the professional guidance of SolutionsHub another successful licence application has joined our well-renowned ranks.”

Change of Chairmanship in the GGL Board of Directors as of 1 July 2025

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.
