Published

on

 

Quixant is going to participate in the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention (IGA) 2023 in San Diego March 27 to 29.

Designed to provide solutions that allow customers to focus their efforts solely on content design and development, Quixant’s range of game-changing solutions will be showcased at IGA booth #1924.

As supply chain challenges continue, Quixant is using its Gaming engineering expertise and supply chain knowledge to ensure customers’ product requirements are met, and they are enabled to expedite the time it takes to get their products to market.

Quixant believes that when bringing cabinets to market, the focus for manufacturers should be on content, not developing hardware solutions to build them on. Now more than ever, they need the confidence that their solution is reliable and as powerful as their imagination needs it to be. That’s why Quixant developed its ultimate range of Gaming hardware platforms, IQ, IQON, and QMAX. The platforms are designed to provide maximum performance based on budget, market, and product needs, and come with its market-leading software solutions as standard, which are designed to optimize game development and delivery and to expedite the time it takes to get cabinets to market.

Quixant launched its latest market-leading QMAX Gaming hardware platform at ICE 2023, which has been designed to deliver the highest resolution content, the smoothest gameplay, and the ultimate player experience.

The new, premium platform is powered by Intel, offering exceptional GPU performance, and is available with or without a dGPU, allowing customers to increase their hardware performance by adding the graphics card of their choice. Highly customizable, the platform meets the requirements of all major global Gaming jurisdictions, including GLI-11.

Eric Walla, VP of Business Development at Quixant, said: “We are renowned for providing powerful and reliable Gaming hardware platforms and software solutions to the Gaming industry, enabling our customers to focus on creating the best games and Sports Betting experiences on the planet. Speaking with customers and the wider industry in recent months, sourcing and developing hardware solutions is proving to be overly time-consuming, costly, and distracts them from developing content and enhancing the player experience – the things that differentiate their products.”

Mr. Walla continued: “With Quixant, you can get your cabinets to market faster, making them stand out from the crowd. We enable you to push what’s possible, adding the wow factor that doesn’t just stop customers in their tracks but keeps them coming back.”

Mr. Walla concluded: “Our team of Gaming technology experts is always on hand to help integrate all elements of customers’ games and enhance the performance of their solutions. In addition to our traditional hardware and software solutions, we are now offering a comprehensive suite of software and integration support solutions, which will allow game designers to focus their efforts on developing the ultimate game content and player experience, as well as a collection of integration solutions. We would love to discuss this with manufacturers who are looking to expedite the time it takes to get their cabinets to market, and deliver the ultimate player experience.”

Global B2B iGaming content provider secures first Canadian market entry following the successful submission and approval of its gaming-related supplier application

Playnetic, the in-demand global B2B iGaming content provider known for its quality games, reliable delivery and outstanding customer service, has announced the approval of its gaming-related supplier application by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

With the AGCO licensing process being recognised in the industry for its rigorous standards and thorough due diligence, the new certification confirms Playnetic was able to meet the high levels of integrity and regulatory compliance needed to legally distribute its content within the province.

As a result of the approval, Playnetic has now secured its first Canadian market entry and will be able to provide its library of innovative games to licensed operators in the Ontario region – with this starting point paving the way for further expansion into other regulated provinces in future.

Given signs of change emerging within the Canadian market and Alberta making progress toward a regulated online model – likely drawing from Ontario’s framework – this license positions Playnetic strongly to expand its footprint in the country and further solidifies the company’s ambitious growth plans.

In the meantime, Playnetic has already begun making groundwork with key operators in the Ontario region and is looking forward to going live with some exciting brands over the coming months. The company will also be attending SBC’s Canadian Gaming Summit from June 17-19, where both existing and new potential partners alike are welcome to stop by and meet the team.

Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, said: “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in iGaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”

Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”

AGCO issues $110,000 in penalties to BetMGM Canada for offering cash to induce new gambling customers

Published

agco-issues-$110,000-in-penalties-to-betmgm-canada-for-offering-cash-to-induce-new-gambling-customers

 

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has served BetMGM Canada Inc. with an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) of $110,000 for violations of the Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming.

In two separate incidents in 2024, BetMGM engaged marketing companies who offered cash to members of the public in return for opening new BetMGM accounts. The marketing activities occurred in public forums, such as a major national trade conference. Under AGCO’s Standards, operators are responsible for the conduct of their third-party suppliers who are contracted to support the operator’s Ontario gaming business, and must require their third-parties to meet Ontario laws, regulations and standards (Standard 1.19).

Ontario is one of the first jurisdictions in the world to establish and enforce rules that strictly limit high-risk inducement advertising and marketing in the online gambling industry. Registered iGaming operators are prohibited from offering gambling inducements, bonuses and credits as part of their broad public advertising and marketing activities (Standard 2.05). These Standards exist to protect Ontarians from predatory advertising and promotional marketing practices in order to limit the risk of gambling-related harm.

A registered operator served with an OMP by the AGCO has the right to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), which is an adjudicative tribunal independent of the AGCO and part of Tribunals Ontario.

QUOTE

“Responsible gambling safeguards and the protection of Ontarians on registered gaming sites is among our key priorities. The AGCO monitors the activities of all registered operators and their third-party suppliers to ensure they are meeting our high standards and we continue to take strong action to ensure they operate within the public interest.”

Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar – AGCO
