Game-Changing Recognition: SoftGamings’ Platform Earns Italian B2B Certification
The acquisition of B2B certification for Italy on 30th October, 2023 represents a significant milestone in the ongoing development of SoftGamings’ Platform as a leading provider and aggregator of casino software. This achievement not only showcases SoftGamings’ expertise and professionalism within the iGaming sector, but also serves to further enhance trust among its customers and partners.
The attainment of Italian B2B certification signifies that SoftGamings’ Platform adheres to the rigorous standards and requirements established in Italy. This certification reaffirms the company’s possession of the requisite skills, knowledge, and experience necessary for the successful delivery of its comprehensive services and solutions suite.
SoftGamings stands out in the Italian market and becomes the preferred partner for operators looking for reliable and expert service providers: White Label, Turnkey and Game API Integration. This development allows SoftGamings’ Platform to expand its customer base in this region.
Italy boasts a well-developed gambling industry, contributing approximately 80 billion euros annually to the national treasury through activities such as slot machines and other games. The country’s rich history in gambling dates back to 1638 with the establishment of the first casino, Ridotto. Although there have been attempts to ban casinos since 1923, today, legal gambling establishments operate freely in Italy in accordance with state legislation. Online clubs have also been permitted since 2010, with 20% of their profits contributed to the state.
As stated by Artem Ustinov, Head of White Label and Turnkey Solutions at SoftGamings: “SoftGamings recently received Italian certification, adding to its existing licenses in Malta, Curaçao, Greece, Belgium, Romania and other countries. By obtaining Italian B2B certification, SoftGamings’ brand companies now offer Italian B2B companies a seamless opportunity to collaborate. We provide them with a full range of profitable casino software solutions. This development not only strengthens our position in the European market, but also confirms our commitment to meeting the needs of Italian B2B companies in the iGambling industry”.
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.
“Our recent approvals in Indiana, Arizona, and Panama underline our dedication to continually expand our offering, to support our growing portfolio of clients with their global growth plans. We are committed to ensuring that we bring the same quality, speed and service that marks us out to both our clients and regulators in these dynamic markets,” said Will Shuckburgh, Group CEO of eCOGRA.
Bradley Khoury, Chief Technology Officer at eCOGRA, said: “Securing licensure as an Event Wagering Ancillary Supplier in Arizona and an Authorised Entity in Panama underscores our dedication to supporting responsible and sustainable iGaming operations. We are committed to driving trust and accountability within the industry by providing compliance solutions that uphold the highest standards.”
The Danish Gambling Authority has officially opened applications for land-based bingo licences under the country’s new regulatory framework.
