Betsson Group Accredited with the Latest Version of ISO 27001
Betsson Group has transitioned from the ISO 27001:2013 certification to the ISO 27001:2022 certification, following a confirmation by the British Assessment Bureau (BAB), an internationally recognised body accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) – the sole body appointed by the UK Government to provide accreditation to certification bodies in the UK. This milestone highlights Betsson’s systematic approach to protecting sensitive information, including customer data, employee details, intellectual property, financial information and third-party data.
Betsson Group obtained the ISO 27001:2022 certification by ISO, the International Organisation for Standardisation in December 2024, replacing the ISO 27001:2013 certification, first obtained in 2019 and consistently maintained it in the successive years.
The ISO 27001 standard supports companies with guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system. Meeting this standard means that a business has a solid plan to manage risks related to data security owned or handled by the company and that this system respects all the best practices and principles enshrined in the standard. The ISO 27001:2022 builds on the ISO 27001:2013 version with minor tweaks to some clauses, Annex updates and the addition of new controls. It also refreshes some terminology and definitions to stay in sync with the latest industry standards.
With cyber-crime and new threats on the rise as well as the fast pace of technology advancements , the adoption of ISO 27001 as a standard equips businesses like Betsson Group with a tried and tested security framework which help it become more risk-aware and be in a better position to proactively identify and address weaknesses, whilst striving to continually improve its secure posture.
ISO 27001 certification is also highly respected by regulators and licensing authorities, streamlining Betsson Group’s processes for acquiring new gaming licenses while reinforcing trust and credibility with stakeholders.

Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA)has fined illegal operator Winning Poker Network (WPN) €1,275,000. WPN allowed Dutch players without the necessary permit, which is prohibited.
Dutch players could go to the website americascardroom.eu to gamble illegally. The KSA then informed WPN that it intended to impose a penalty payment order, after which it would no longer be possible to play on the website. WPN owns several (illegal in the Netherlands) websites, including truepoker.eu. This website remained available to Dutch people, after which the KSA still imposed a penalty payment order on WPN, stating that it would stop offering the website on all its sites.
KSA Chair Michel Groothuizen said: “A penalty payment order is an effective way to quickly take illegal supply off the air. However, these types of parties should not think that they will get off easy with this, so we also impose fines for the violation committed. In doing so, we hit them where it really hurts, namely in their wallets.”
In addition to imposing a penalty payment, the KSA can also impose sanctions for the period in which the illegal offer was available. This is also the case here. The imposed fine was increased due to so-called aggravating circumstances: practices that aggravate the seriousness of the offence. For example, WPN charged players extra costs if they had not logged in for a long time (inactivity costs) and it pretended to be a reliable party by brandishing a foreign licence. The KSA takes this type of consumer fraud very seriously.

Bragg’s proprietary and exclusive content and aggregation businesses are well-positioned to fuel double digit top- and bottom-line growth in 2025, targeting Brazil’s USD 1.4 billion iCasino market, which is expected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2029.
Bragg Gaming Group a provider of iGaming content and platform technology solutions to the iGaming industry is proud to confirm that it is live as a supplier to licensed operators in the Brazilian market, following the introduction of regulated online casino operations in the territory on January 1, 2025.
The newly regulated Brazilian online casino market is projected to be worth USD 1.4 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2029 according to H2 Gambling Capital.
As a specialist regulated iGaming market supplier, Bragg believes it is well positioned to capitalize on the launch and projected growth of the Brazilian market and that revenue from the Brazilian market could represent up to 10% of the Company’s total revenue in 2025.
Bragg is currently live with approximately one-third of licensed iCasino operators in Brazil, with prominent partners including Superbet, KTO, Betano, Novibet, Sportingbet and Betboo. The Company expects integrations to reach over half of licensed operators in Brazil by the end of Q2 2025.
Bragg’s current content offerings include key proprietary content titles such as Egyptian Magic by Atomic Slot Lab and Crazy Diamonds by Indigo Magic. Accelerating proprietary content growth is a strategic priority for the Company, as fully-owned IP typically delivers higher gross profit margins, driving bottom-line growth and supporting a balanced, margin-accretive product mix.
Complementing its proprietary content offering, the Company has also introduced exclusive online casino games in the jurisdiction from its carefully selected “Powered by Bragg” partners including Bluberi, Sega Sammy Creation and King Show Games. Additionally, the Company intends to develop strategic relationships with local studio partners which will enhance Bragg’s ability to deliver content tailored to Brazilian players.
Bragg’s content strategy in Brazil, key to its top-line growth plans, also includes online casino content aggregation through its Bragg HUB delivery platform. Bragg HUB provides a comprehensive iGaming content service, offering over 10,000 online casino game titles including from leading content providers in Brazil. This offering is enhanced by the Fuze
player engagement platform, featuring tools for acquisition, cross-selling, conversion, and retention, including bonuses, free rounds, jackpots, and an AI-powered game recommendation engine.
The Company serves Brazilian operators from its Bragg São Paulo office, led by LatAm Regional Director Sara Mosallaee and Senior Account Manager Amanda Alexandrini, providing fully localized support.
Matevz Mazij, Chief Executive Officer at Bragg Gaming Group commented: “We’re delighted to expand into the newly regulated market in Brazil, and to be there for our customers on the first day of launch with our in-demand content portfolio and player engagement platform.
“At Bragg we have extensive experience of delivering highly localized iGaming content and technology solutions in regulated markets, and we now expect the Brazilian market to become a key territory for us and a significant driver of our growth in the wider LatAm region.
“This latest regulated market launch sets us on a strong trajectory for 2025, helping us deliver our strategic objectives of increased revenue through proprietary, exclusive and aggregated online casino content, while at the same time adding geographical diversity to our revenue streams, promoting stable, long-term growth for the Company.”
Neill Whyte, Chief Commercial Officer at Bragg Gaming Group added: “We’ve been working hard to make sure we have the right content, the right people and the right structures in place to support our Brazilian operator partners from day 1 of market launch, and I’m proud to say we are now live in this exciting market which offers so much potential.
“We’re already partnered or are in talks with approximately half of the Brazilian iGaming operator market, and that leaves plenty of room for growth. We will be busy in the coming months showcasing our games and technology solutions with both existing customers and potential new partners as we continue to grow our presence in Brazil and across the LatAm region.”
