Having recently unveiled an updated brand identity and new-look website, global B2B and B2C technology solutions provider, Markor Technology, continued its digital evolution this month by agreeing a new partnership deal with leading verification platform, Sumsub.

A global tech company with offices in London, Berlin, Cyprus, Tel Aviv and Miami, Sumsub offers an all-in-one service that helps online businesses secure the entire user lifecycle with customisable KYC, KYB, KYT and AML solutions. As part of the partnership with Markor Technology, the group will provide enhanced verification and fraud protection, while ensuring total compliance for the company’s iGaming clients.
From a customer perspective this means a more streamlined verification process that will remove the hassles found in out-of-the-box KYC solutions.  The fact that Sumsub achieves the highest conversion rates in the industry hands Markor Technology a major competitive advantage.

With the company taking just 50 seconds on average to verify a user, Sumsub uses AI-driven anti-fraud tools and in-house liveness technology to keep the onboarding process fast yet secure. This will in turn help many of Markor Technology’s clients scale into international markets with greater ease, allowing them to welcome more users worldwide while also reducing costs and steering clear of digital fraud.
The ability to offer clients the improved functionality of a best-in-class verification platform will only bolster the growing reputation of Markor Technology’s multi- vertical and multi-licensed PAM system further.

Andrew Sever, Co-founder and CEO of Sumsub, added: “Finding a trustful iGaming partner like Markor Technology is an honour for us, because we share the goal of creating a responsible iGaming environment that enables players to enjoy online gaming and gambling services both freely and safely.
“We’re making this a reality by offering end-to-end KYC, KYT, and AML solutions to effectively onboard users and keep fraudsters out, which will in turn help iGaming businesses improve their conversions rates and welcome more customers worldwide as they scale with far greater ease.”

BetMGM Offers Interstate Online Poker, Merges New Jersey and Michigan Markets

BetMGM Poker has become the third US operator to offer multi-state online poker. The company has merged its player pools in Michigan and New Jersey. Both states are a part of the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), which allows online poker networks to share liquidity and players in participating markets. The two-state network went live Wednesday afternoon after morning maintenance.

BetMGM VP of Gaming, Angust Nisbet, said: “This is a landmark day for our poker product as we combine player pools in select markets. With the introduction of shared liquidity, we’ve listened to players’ desire for more games and larger prize pools. By showcasing our best-in-class omnichannel experience – spanning property, sports betting and online casino – we’re committed to providing an unparalleled poker experience for our players.”

Michigan is the newest operational online poker market, passing legislation in 2020 and launching in early 2021. This was more than seven years after New Jersey online poker went live in November 2013.

New Jersey joined MSIGA in 2017, two years after Nevada and Delaware entered into the agreement. Michigan joined in 2022, a relatively short timeframe compared to the states preceding it.

Michigan’s entrance has fast-tracked interstate online poker compared to the slow progress made before.

Its first multi-state venture came on Jan. 1, 2023, when PokerStars Michigan combined its New Jersey and Michigan markets. WSOP Michigan became part of a three-state agreement with New Jersey and Nevada in May 2024, and BetMGM marks the state’s third major operator joining forces across state lines.

BetMGM Poker will create a more prominent player pool for New Jersey and Michigan online poker players. By nature, this will result in larger tournament prize pools for both states. It will also add extra competition for the other two multi-state sites in the two markets.

The citizens of Petersburg have spoken, and the historic casino referendum has passed with overwhelming support of over 80% of Petersburg residents voting in favor of the $1.4 billion Live! Casino Resort project, marking the highest support for a casino referendum in Virginia history. This marks a monumental step forward for the Petersburg community, as the approval paves the way for the development of a world-class casino and entertainment destination that promises to revitalize the local economy, create jobs, and invest in much-needed community services.

Live! Casino Resort, which will be codeveloped by The Cordish Companies and Bruce Smith Enterprise, is projected to bring significant economic benefits to the region. This development will include not only gaming and entertainment options but also restaurants, hotels, and event spaces, making Petersburg a destination for tourism and entertainment in Virginia. Construction will commence after the vote is certified and all required approvals are received, with an anticipated opening date of the initial first phase casino in 2026.

“We are deeply gratified by the community’s affirmation of this project and very hopeful about the meaningful impact it will have on the city’s future. The casino will not only create good-paying jobs for our residents but will also attract visitors statewide and beyond, stimulating local businesses and in turn producing an overall ripple effect of economic growth. Now that the voters have spoken, we look forward to working with the City of Petersburg and the Virginia Lottery to secure all of the necessary permitting, licensing and regulatory approvals for this project to move forward,” said Bruce Smith, Owner of Bruce Smith Enterprise, Pro Football Hall of Fame Member, Developer and Community Leader, and codeveloper of the planned Live! Casino Resort in Petersburg.

The casino project is part of a larger revitalization plan for Petersburg, which has faced economic challenges in recent years. This initiative, alongside other investments in infrastructure and local businesses, will position the city for long-term growth and success.

“The approval of the destination resort and casino in Petersburg marks a significant milestone for our City. Voter approval follows a three-year journey on this transformative project that will bring positive change to Petersburg for generations. This destination resort, casino, retail, and residential development will be the largest economic and tourism project in Petersburg’s history. City Council and administration look forward to working with The Cordish Companies and Bruce Smith Enterprise to positively impact our community and its prosperity,” said Mayor Sam Parham, City of Petersburg, VA.

Live! Casino Resort will be a catalyst for change and significant urban development, transforming the City through the creation of a thriving entertainment and hospitality destination. The project will set a new standard for gaming, hotels, and entertainment in the Commonwealth, and serve as a new world-class attraction for Petersburg and the greater Central Virginia region. The project site, ideally situated at the intersection of Wagner Road and Interstate I-95, has easy access on and off the East Coast’s major north-south interstate.

“Today is a new day for residents of Petersburg. This community has waited a long time for an economic development project of this size and scale, which will provide a huge boost for the City and the entire region. We cannot wait to start hiring local residents and partnering with local businesses and entrepreneurs. Thank you, Petersburg, for placing your trust and confidence in our team. We look forward to delivering results for you and being a part of this great community for decades to come,” said Zed Smith, Chief Operating Officer of The Cordish Companies.
