Developer powerhouse has Mines, Hi-Lo and Goal titles certified by Gaming Associates for launch in fast-growing regulated markets

SPRIBE, the award-winning developer of next-gen online casino content, has significantly increased the distribution of its games in core European markets after receiving certification from the renowned testing house, Gaming Associates.

The certification allows SPRIBE to launch its Mines, Hi-Lo and Goal titles in Romania and Italy. The approval to go live in Romania is also recognised by the Malta Gaming Authority, which means SPRIBE can roll-out these titles in all Malta jurisdictions as well.

SPRIBE is the developer behind the world’s number one crash game, Aviator, but it also has a portfolio of Turbo Games packed full of engaging and entertaining titles that have proved to be a big hit with players.

Mines takes the popular minesweeper format with players having to reveal as many stars as possible without hitting a mine. The more stars they collect, the bigger the win. Players can cash out after each successful play if they wish.

Hi-Lo is a quick wagering game where the player has to guess if the next card will be higher or lower than the current card. But SPRIBE has added an extra layer of fun – the player must then choose the next three cards and if they get that right, their win gets boosted, and the game carries on. Again, they can cash out after any win.

Goal sees the player go from one end of the field to the other and score a goal.  They do this by clearing lines but in each line, there is a bomb – if they land on the bomb, it’s game over but if they can clear the field and score a goal, they win the biggest prize.

All of SPRIBE’s games are super light so play incredibly well on mobile and also offer a chat function where players can interact. This combination has seen them hit the market with the lucrative but hard-to-reach Millennial and Generation Z demographics.

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “SPRIBE is known for Aviator, but we also have a portfolio of Turbo Games that are just as fun to play. Having secured approval from Gaming Associates, we can now launch these titles with our operator partners in Romania and Italy, as well as all Malta markets.

“This will allow our partners to stand out from their rivals through next-generation content that appeals to an important but hard to engage audience. Ultimately, our games offer superior levels of entertainment, and we can’t wait to see players in Romania and Italy experience, Mines, Hi-Lo and Goal for the first time.”

Oddin.gg has been officially registered as a supplier by the Lottery of the City of Buenos Aires (LOTBA). This authorization clears the way for Oddin.gg to provide its end-to-end esports betting ecosystem—including its Odds Feed, Risk Management, BetBuilder, Widgets, and more—to licensed operators in the City of Buenos Aires. The milestone reinforces Oddin.gg’s strategic focus on supporting partners across Latin America.

LOTBA, the regulatory authority for online gaming within the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, is well known for its rigorous compliance and technical standards. While the body manages licensing and enforcement, suppliers must undergo a formal registration process before providing services to local operators. Oddin.gg’s successful registration confirms that it has met all relevant technical, financial, and compliance requirements.

Juana Bischoff, Senior Business Development Manager LATAM at Oddin.gg, said: “Being officially registered with LOTBA marks an important step in Oddin.gg’s long-term commitment to the Latin American market. Esports is gaining real traction across the region, and we want operators in Buenos Aires—and beyond—to have the tools and insight to deliver a top-tier esports betting experience. We’re not just bringing leading technology—we’re bringing the local expertise and regulatory awareness needed to help our partners like Betsson and Jugadon grow.”

Uzbekistan Introduces Penalties for Illegal Gambling Operations

Uzbekistan has introduced strict penalties for illegal gambling operations as the country prepares to launch its regulated betting market on October 9, 2025.

The new penalties target both domestic and foreign operators offering gambling services without a license. The new rules authorise fines indexed to the Uzbek Base Calculation Unit (BRV), a fiscal benchmark used for administrative penalties.

Foreign firms face fines of up to 25,000 Base Calculation Units, around US$882,000. Authorities can also seize illegal earnings, block access to banking and internet services, and ban repeat offenders from the Uzbek financial system. Unauthorised physical casinos, betting shops and mobile terminals will face the same sanctions.

Violations of anti-money laundering rules or personal data misuse carry fines of 15,000 BRV (about US$529,200), and unlicensed deposit-taking could result in penalties of up to US$352,900.

The changes were drafted by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP), which is overseeing the rollout of Uzbekistan’s new gambling law. NAPP will act as the interim regulator until a permanent authority is established.

Licensed operators must meet strict financial requirements. Online gambling firms need authorised capital of $4.57 million and a $2.05 million reserve fund. Lottery providers must show at least $1.64 million in capital and $1.11 million in reserves.

“This is not a pay-to-play regime. It’s a compliance-first market that will reward transparency and capital discipline,” NAPP has clarified in communications with potential applicants.

Gambling has been banned in Uzbekistan since 2007, except for limited state-run lotteries. The new system marks a shift from prohibition to strict regulation. A centralised system, the Unified State Register of Bets and Players (USRBP), will track all wagers and enforce ID checks and monthly betting limits.

Sanctions will be issued by NAPP’s director after internal review. Offending companies will have 15 days to appeal through NAPP or the courts. Half of all fines will go to the state budget; the rest will fund regulatory operations. Paying fines does not shield companies from further legal action.

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved the new framework in 2024, requiring that gambling revenue be used to fund national sports programmes. Licensing guidelines will be released soon, with applications opening before the October launch.
