Leading iGaming operator ComeOn Group announced that it has obtained the ISO 27001 certification for its Information Security Management System in order to build on enhanced Security and User Experience.

ISO 27001 is a widely recognised standard for information security management systems. It provides a framework for implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an organisation’s information security management system. The certification process involves a rigorous evaluation of an organisation’s security controls, policies, and procedures.

ComeOn Group underwent an extensive audit of its security controls and processes by an independent certification body, GLI Bulletproof, to achieve the ISO 27001 certification. The Group, which operates on a proprietary platform, underwent an audit that evaluated the information security policies, risk management processes, access controls, network security, and incident management.

It goes well in line with our objectives to achieve excellence throughout our whole organisation, especially when it comes to Information Security Management related to our overall security of our proprietary platform and our customers. The team work has been great across all departments and our highly skilled Information Security team has shown the way with great resilience leading this project from start to end.”

This certification is one of many steps that the Group has recently taken in order to ensure its operations are strategically geared towards the regulated markets, and offer an entertainment experience that encompasses security on all fronts.

Jackpot Digital Inc., the world’s leading provider of innovative dealerless electronic poker gaming solutions, has announced that it has received license approval from the Maine Gambling Control Unit (MGCU).

This milestone marks a significant achievement for the Company, as it is the first state-issued license it has received in the US. This state license allows the Company to install its casino machines throughout all of Maine.

“Receiving approval from MGCU is a major accomplishment. Until now, our U.S. licenses have been exclusively through our valued Indian Gaming casino partners, who issue licenses for their respective properties. A state license, however, grants us access to the entire state. We have several additional state licenses pending approval, representing a major expansion opportunity into larger state-regulated commercial casinos,” Jake Kalpakian, CEO of Jackpot Digital, said.

“More immediately, this MGCU approval enables us to offer Jackpot Blitz to gaming operators across Maine. We are excited to bring our innovative products to Maine’s gaming community and reinforce our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology-driven entertainment,” Mr. Kalpakian added.

The Dutch gambling regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has published its Match-fixing Trend Analysis for 2024.

In 2024, there were 13 reports from license holders, compared to 6 reports in 2023. The reports concern striking betting patterns, risky matches and striking changes in odds. Following the investigation into these signals, the KSA has issued 4 warnings and a guideline with guidance for the market will follow shortly.

In the Trend Analysis Match Fixing 2024, the KSA provides an overview of the reports it received in the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. It concerns 13 reports of possible match fixing, originating from 8 different license holders. Compared to the trend analysis for the year 2023, the number of reports has more than doubled. Possible explanations are efforts by the KSA to create more awareness of the reporting obligation among licensed providers or a global increase in reports of match fixing. A number of the signals were reason for investigation. Based on this, the KSA issued 4 warnings.

The KSA will make even more efforts to point out to licensed providers their legal obligation to inform the KSA without delay of indications that point to an increased risk of manipulation of an involved match. Guidance for the market in the form of a guideline will follow shortly. In addition, the KSA will continue to monitor the signals.

One of the goals of the Gambling Act is to combat gambling-related match-fixing at licensed providers of sports betting. The KSA has no legal task in detecting match-fixing, but examines whether licensed providers do enough to prevent match-fixing.

For this purpose, the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) was established within the KSA, a reporting point for signals of possible match-fixing in gambling.
