As Sales Director at Livespins, Marko has been tasked with shaping the future of the business, including growing and solidifying its position as the original and undisputed leader in the new igaming vertical that it has forged. This includes fostering strong partnerships that will allow Livespins to establish long-lasting relationships with operators, providers, and streamers, and to engage and captivate new audiences.

Livespins provides an online casino experience like no other. It sits within the online casino lobby, allowing players to watch streamers and bet behind the action taking place across the reels. This creates a group bet and shared player experience, with plenty of social interaction with players able to chat with the streamer and each other throughout.

That Livespins sits within the online casino lobby means that players are offered all of the protections the operator is required to provide under its international and local licences. This in turn allows operators to leverage the tremendous demand for streaming content, while ensuring compliance.

Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “Marko is a fantastic hire and brings experience, a network of connections and passion to the team and the wider Livespins business. He is an absolute professional with a clear understanding of the market and what operators need when it comes to content that will allow them to engage lucrative but hard-to-reach player audiences.

“I am delighted to welcome him to the team and to work closely with him as momentum continues to build behind Livespins and we join forces with more forward-thinking operators, suppliers and steamers across the globe.”

eCOGRA, a leading international authority in Testing, Inspection and Certification services for the iGaming industry, has secured new regulatory approvals across three key jurisdictions: Arizona, Indiana and Panama. With these developments, eCOGRA strengthens its position in the U.S. and Latin American markets, offering excellence in compliance through their Quality, Speed, and Service promise.

This strategic expansion allows eCOGRA to conduct independent compliance audits and certification services in each region, addressing the growing demand for rigorous regulatory oversight in the fast-evolving global iGaming industry.

Securing approval in Arizona, where eCOGRA has now been licensed as an Event Wagering Ancillary Supplier, enables the International Testing Laboratory (ITL) to audit event wagering licensees in line with Arizona’s expanding regulatory landscape. Indiana, which introduced online sports betting in September 2019, has authorised eCOGRA to perform regulatory compliance audits, providing licensed operators with crucial assurance in meeting the state’s high standards.

In Panama, the Board of Gaming Control officially recognised eCOGRA as an Authorised Entity for Compliance Certification, specifically for slot machines and gaming software. This endorsement reinforces eCOGRA’s role as a trusted partner for operators seeking to meet stringent regulatory requirements in Latin America’s emerging iGaming sector.

In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.

Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.

Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
