GLI is one of the industry’s most respected testing labs, renowned for its rigorous and complex testing methods. By securing this certification, BGaming is now able to supply its content to licensed operators in Italy, providing local players with access to its cutting-edge gaming portfolio for the first time.

In addition to the GLI certification, BGaming has obtained the Information Security Management System (ISCS) certification for the Italian market and has undergone a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment conducted by Bulletproof. These further demonstrate the company’s commitment to data security and player protection.

Italy is a crucial market for BGaming as it continues to expand its global presence. The news comes a little over a month after the company secured the required certification from GLI to enter the Brazilian market.

Antonina Ivanova, Head of Legal & Compliance at BGaming, said: “Obtaining the certificates required for the Italian market marks a significant milestone for BGaming. The certification process was complex and thorough, and we are delighted to be able to prove the reliability and accuracy of our games and system, as well as our full compliance with local laws. We are also extremely proud of our team for getting this over the line.

“Italian players are among the most enthusiastic in the world, and we can not wait to introduce them to our unique brand of online games. This marks a significant milestone in our continued expansion across Europe and continues our strong start to 2025.”

Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) is conducting a compliance operation across regional NSW throughout March to ensure venues adhere to gaming regulations that promote responsible gambling and reduce harm.

Inspectors will visit clubs and hotels to ensure venues understand and comply with external gambling signage rules and recent changes to requirements for the location of ATMs and cash dispensing facilities.

They will also check that venues have appointed Responsible Gambling Officers, maintained Gambling Incident Registers and adhered to Gaming Plans of Management.

L&GNSW Acting Executive Director of Regulatory Operations Bernadette Beard said the operation is part of an ongoing effort to work with venues to ensure responsible gambling laws are upheld.

“Our compliance operation is well underway, with inspectors visiting venues across regional NSW to ensure they are aware of their obligations,” Ms Beard said.

“A key focus will be on the gaming reforms that took effect on January 1, 2025, which mandate that ATMs and other cash dispensing facilities must be positioned at least five metres from gaming room entrances or exits and kept out of sight from gaming areas and machines,” Jakob Rothwangl said.

Ms Beard said recent inspections in Sydney and other metropolitan areas have identified multiple venues not following the rules, leading to penalties where necessary.

“Since the new cash dispensing rules were introduced, L&GNSW has visited more than 900 clubs and hotels, issuing 53 cautions and three penalty infringement notices to 44 non-compliant venues, with several others under investigation,” Ms Beard said.

“We’re here to assist venues in meeting their responsibilities, but compliance is essential, and enforcement action will be taken where required.”
