The certification enables the company to render game aggregation services to licensed operators

Markor Technology has been granted certification of its game aggregation platform under full compliance with Spain’s Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) standards, the online gambling authority responsible for regulating operators and service providers in the country. Having gained certification by achieving the DGOJ’s standards, Markor Technology will now be able to render game aggregation services to licensed online gambling entities operating within the regulated market of Spain, enabling them to greatly expand the software portfolio that they’re able to offer to customers.

Markor Technology has swiftly built up its game aggregation service and is currently able to offer a rich and varied portfolio of over 5,000 games to its casino clients globally, with these including titles from over 70 of the industry’s leading software providers, including NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Evolution Gaming and many others. By hosting games from these best-in-class content providers, the company is able to offer slots, table games and live dealer titles to its casino clients, plus an exciting range of games of chance that includes keno, bingo and selection of virtual scratch cards.

With Markor Technology also adding several new game suppliers every month, the brand’s aggregated game line-up will only grow further in future. This will allow licensed operators who team up with the brand in the regulated Spanish market to offer a truly engaging catalogue of casino options to players.

The acquisition of the Spanish certification for its game aggregation platform represents another significant step forward for Markor Technology and will assist the company in its further-reaching strategy to make its products and services available to customers in regulated markets worldwide.

Melissa Summerfield, Chief Executive Officer at Markor Technology, said: “Although we’ve only been in business for a couple of years, Markor Technology has already established itself as a reliable provider of game aggregation services in the iGaming industry – and the certification of our Spanish B2B platform will only strengthen this position further.
“Now that we have received the formal approval to work with licensed Spanish operators in the country, we’re very much looking forward to helping our clients make a real impact in the market. With our fast and flexible content delivery plus a vast portfolio of exciting titles, we make it incredibly easy for clients to provide their customers with the very best in online casino gaming.”

In April, the Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has filed over 4600 reports with Meta regarding illegal advertisements. Combating illegal gambling offerings is one of the KSA’s priorities. Special attention is paid by the KSA to the marketing practices of the gambling companies, which frequently advertise on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. Therefore, the KSA monitors the volume of illegal advertisements.

Illegal practices

Illegal gambling providers place many advertisements on social media. In doing so, they use names and logos of well-known Dutch athletes and major brands to enhance their credibility. It is often difficult for consumers to determine whether a gambling provider holds a license. To protect consumers, the KSA therefore makes a strong effort to combat online advertising by illegal providers. The KSA does this, among other measures, by filing reports with major media companies more frequently.

Cooperation in alliance

To tackle illegal providers on social media, the KSA works closely with various companies and organisations. During a recent meeting of the alliance, current knowledge, trends and insights were shared. Advertising on social media was a key topic, as these platforms reach a large number of people.

The working group also discussed how companies can protect their trademarks and held a brainstorming session on what else is needed to tackle illegal providers on social media. The KSA will use the outcomes of the meeting in the coming period to take even better action.

Frustrating infrastructure

In the Netherlands, online gambling is only permitted with licensed providers. The KSA’s approach to illegal offerings ranges from imposing fines to disrupting the infrastructure used by illegal providers. The online world, and social media in particular, plays a major role within this infrastructure.

IBJR: Crackdown on Illegal Betting Critical to Success of Desenrola 2.0

The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has warned that the effectiveness of the financial protection measures included in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a strict crackdown on the illegal betting market.

In 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for only 0.46% of household consumption in the country — an extremely small share of the average Brazilian family budget — according to data from a study conducted by LCA Consultoria. This reinforces that the main driver of household indebtedness in Brazil continues to be the high cost of credit.

The IBJR emphasized that restricting access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to illegal platforms, which already handle around R$40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.

Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators — often linked to organized crime — from taking advantage of restriction windows to attract vulnerable consumers. This concern is heightened by the proximity of the FIFA World Cup, a period that naturally increases the volume of sports betting activity, as well as by the potential loss of R$10.8 billion in tax revenue if consumption shifts to the underground market.

IBJR reiterates that real consumer protection and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector. The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, the strengthening of responsible gaming practices, and a strategic offensive against illegal websites, ensuring that entertainment takes place exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly regulated ecosystem.
