Compliance Updates
SoftGamings Is E-Class Licensed by the Belgian Gambling Commission
The Belgian Gambling Commission (BGC) has granted a license to SoftGamings brand, a leading provider and aggregator of casino software.
This milestone expands SoftGamings’ influence in the global market. It reflects the company’s desire to develop and improve its products constantly. SoftGamings’ award-winning software has already proven to meet the highest industry standards in leading jurisdictions.
The Belgian E-Class License enables SoftGamings to offer its branded services to Belgian-licensed operators. The obtained license applies to activities related to the B2B sale, lease, supply, import and export of gambling products. This opens the door to a one-stop service for integrating API games from prestigious vendors in a short time. We’re currently expanding our activities throughout the regulated Belgian market and making our products available to all operators licensed by BGC and all those who plan to obtain one.
What are the benefits of the E-Class License? It grants the rights to supply products and services to licensed B2C operators in Belgium, opening up opportunities for them to:
Use SoftGamings’ platform with back-office tools, including third-party software integrated into the Platform;
Implement additional analytical and marketing software as a stand-alone product allowing integration with the Platform;
Use support and maintenance services in relation to the Platform and licensed software.
By collaborating with SoftGamings’ brand companies, Belgian companies with B2C licenses will be able to integrate providers of high-quality gaming content for testing easily. The streamlined process replaces the need for multiple integrations and offers a convenient one-stop-shop approach.
Belgium legalised gambling in 1999, and online gambling followed in 2002. As a result, the market is known as one of the best-regulated gambling zones.
Anna Lalina, Head of Partnerships at SoftGamings, said: “The SoftGamings brand has received a Belgian E-Class License, adding to the collection of existing licenses from Malta, Greece, Romania, the Isle of Man, and others. These achievements are in line with SoftGamings’ strategy and mission to expand our continued presence in the Western European markets. From now on, offers and requests for cooperation from Belgian operators will be met. They’ll receive ready-made casino solutions and other software solutions for this market.
Belgian licensing was an important development for the SoftGamings brand. This milestone laid a solid foundation, paved the way for new solutions in the field of online gambling, and increased competitiveness in mature markets like Belgium.”
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.

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.”
