Testing Software for Betting Terminals
System Test Tool is developed in-house with the idea of standardising and speeding up our internal SSBT testing procedures. It makes sure every system component is connected correctly and in a working state by sequentially testing unit per unit.
Previous NSoft stories have touched on SSBTs from multiple perspectives. From the very beginnings of manufacturing betting terminals at Stark Solutions (a part of NSoft’s cluster), its steep rise in the global betting market with exceptional quality and customer satisfaction, and all the way to the NSoft’s core SSBT software aimed for betting and igaming operators for managing entire terminal fleets with ease. However, there is one particular aspect we haven’t covered yet: how do we make sure assembled SSBTs are ready for shipping and installation in the first place?! Well, that process isn’t always the easiest one. It is enough to imagine batch orders of 80 terminals, each with a dozen of hardware components, peripheral devices, and cables. The number of individual units required for testing is ten times that. The most considerable merit goes to dedicated technicians that patiently assemble and test the working functionality of each unit. However, as a natural step forward, we indeed recognised the importance of improving the process with technology and acted upon it. As a result, our technicians now have a helping hand from a software tool we simply named System Test Tool.
Automatisation of QA process
System Test Tool is developed in-house with the idea of standardising and speeding up our internal SSBT testing procedures. It makes sure every system component is connected correctly and in a working state by sequentially testing unit per unit. The Tool is not a replacement for human touch, but rather an additional layer of reliability that helps us standardise tests across terminals and their units. Simply put, the process is still owned and managed by technicians but guided and controlled by the software.
Core functionalities of System Test Tool
The Tool is based on NSoft’s customised Linux operating system. It contains three core functionalities:
- Scanning the entire system and returning most vital information about system configuration, hardware and peripherals
- Providing structured tests for each logical domain, including displays and touchscreens, printers, barcode, money devices, door switches and card readers
- Generating and submitting done tests in the form of the final report that can be printed and signed as proof of testing.
The great thing about the tool is that it comes in the form of live media. That means we can run the software without affecting the disk content of the host device. Those circumstances make System Test Tool perfect for testing uninstalled and installed devices with no operative struggles beforehand or afterwards. Additionally, there are no limitations on who can perform testing or when. This means that it is even possible to release the tool for our clients in the near future as well. Each submitted test is stored in our database for future reference. At the same time, the uniqueness of each physical machine allows us to track the history of all done tests on a particular betting terminal.
Time saved is money earned.
In the year 2022, we are making this tool a part of the standard testing toolbox at Stark Solutions. Along with other NSoft initiatives, particularly in the domain of system diagnostics, it substantially reduces overall time requirements and testing complexity while improving reliability, standardisation, and transparency.
Sinergy of NSoft software solutions for SSBT and Stark’s neat and powerful machines for land-based betting and gaming business ones again has proven to be the winning combination for the clients.

Alea Leads Brazil iGaming Talks in São Paulo
Alea is set to take a leading role in São Paulo as the Headline Partner for NEXT.io Focus Brazil, returning for a second straight year to one of the most important gatherings in the country’s regulated iGaming calendar.
The invite-only event takes place on Monday, 6 April at Palacio Tangará and brings together around 100 senior industry decision-makers to examine how Brazil’s market is evolving beyond its launch phase.
The agenda will center on the market’s new reality, including changing player behavior, regulatory maturity, and the long-term sustainability of Brazil’s iGaming sector. Alea CEO Jordi Sendra will open the afternoon by joining the panel “Brazil 2026: The New Reality of Regulated Gambling,” where leaders from TQJ Bet, Esportes, and Stake Brazil will discuss how operators can stay competitive in a more structured environment.
Alea says its renewed partnership reflects the company’s growing commitment to Brazil and its deeper local presence. Over the past year, the company has invested in building a stronger on-the-ground structure to support partners across the market, with Sendra describing Brazil as a fast-changing but increasingly organized industry where open dialogue remains valuable.
The São Paulo appearance also connects directly to Alea’s wider South American push. After NEXT.io Focus Brazil, the team is shortlisted for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA South America Awards, before continuing discussions at SiGMA South America from 7–10 April at Booth N145, where the company will showcase its localized portfolio and technical support for operators navigating Brazil’s evolving market.

Catalist Sports, a leading licensed supplier of sports betting content to the regulated U.S. marketplace, has continued to expand its regulated market footprint with new supplier licenses secured in Arkansas and Nebraska, alongside recently submitted Canadian applications in Ontario and Alberta.
Arkansas’ regulated sports betting market is set for significant growth, with major operators including DraftKings and FanDuel entering the state in March 2026. In addition to Arkansas, Catalist Sports has successfully obtained a supplier license in Nebraska.
Following the approval of its supplier license in Missouri, the latest state to regulate online gambling, in December, Catalist Sports is now licensed in 30 U.S. jurisdictions, with two Canadian provinces expected to follow.
These license updates reinforce Catalist Sports’ commitment to serving both U.S. and Canadian regulated betting markets with compliant, high-quality content and services.
“Securing licenses in new jurisdictions and strengthening our regulatory standing is fundamental to serving as a trusted, key supplier to our operator partners,” said James Monk, Vice President & General Manager of Catalist Sports.
“Arkansas represents an exciting next step for us, particularly as major brands prepare to enter the market. At the same time, our licenses in Nebraska, along with applications in Ontario and Alberta, and ongoing license upgrades, position Catalist to continue delivering scalable, compliant, and differentiated services to our partners.”
Catalist Sports’ expanding North American footprint supports the company’s broader strategy to provide licensed operators with premium data, live streaming, and advanced trading capabilities, helping partners maximize in-play engagement, product innovation, and long-term growth in regulated markets.
Catalist Sports distributes official data and live streaming rights from a vast portfolio of events to licensed U.S. sportsbooks.
