The Swiss Federal Council (Bundesrat) has approved licences for Casino Lugano and Casino du Lac Meyrin to offer online gambling in the country.
Casino du Lac is operated by a French company named Groupe Partouche. Casino Lugano is jointly owned by Casinos Austria International and Lugano Municipality.
These operators are the first to have earned online approval outside German-speaking cantons of the country. They are also the sixth and seventh online platforms that have been given entry to the Swiss gaming industry.
Before starting their operations, both the operators have to obtain approval from the country’s federal gambling regulator Eidgenössische Spielbankenkommission (ESBK).

AU10TIX Launches Free Assessment Tool and Readiness Guide to Help Organizations Navigate Child Safety Age Assurance Compliance

Â
AU10TIX, a global leader in identity verification and fraud prevention, announced the launch of a free Child Safety Age Assurance Risk and Readiness Assessment and Age Assurance Readiness Guide designed to help businesses better understand their risk and tailor their strategy to meet regulatory obligations. They support AU10TIXâs Selfie-based Age Estimation service, which delivers the industryâs most precise and unbiased age assessment in just two seconds.
In the US, federal legislation such as the Childrenâs Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires parental consent for users under 13, while the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) mandates age verification for websites accessed by users under 16. Additionally, 19 U.S. states now enforce mandatory age checks for adult content and gambling platforms. Similar regulations are impacting social media and online services in the UK, EU, and Australia.
AU10TIXâs free Child Safety Age Assurance Risk and Readiness Assessment consists of six short questions about an organizationâs sector, security measures, and ID verification processes. Upon completion, participants receive a customized Risk Assessment Report outlining key vulnerabilities and practical recommendations for improving compliance. They also receive a comprehensive 13-page Age Assurance Readiness Guide to help them navigate the complex landscape of age verification regulations.
âAs age-based regulations expand globally, businesses are actively seeking guidance on how to balance security, compliance, and user convenience. Our new Risk and Readiness Assessment helps organizations identify their unique risks and stay compliant without compromising the customer experience. This perfectly complements our Selfie-based Age Estimation solution, which adds an extra layer of protection to help ensure safe use of our platform by minors,â said Yair Tal, CEO of AU10TIX.
AU10TIX also offers a Selfie-based Age Estimation solution that leverages advanced AI-driven biometric technology to analyze facial features and estimate age without the need for a government-issued ID. It streamlines the experience by requiring only a selfie, cutting verification time to two seconds while delivering the industryâs most accurate age estimates. It simultaneously conducts a liveness check and analyzes the selfie using AI models trained on millions of biometric data points, which accurately estimate age without storing any personal data. By reducing the need for full ID verification, this approach can reduce costs by up to 10x and boost completion rates by 27%.
