Innovative Technology promote latest cash handling and biometric solutions during a busy week of exhibitions
Innovative Technology attended a week of exhibitions last week in London, Riga and Stuttgart. IFSEC, Casino Operations Summit and UNITI all took place over the same few days with the company showcasing their latest cash handling devices and biometric solutions at all three events.
Commenting on the security show in London, Andrew O’Brien, Product Manager for ITL’s Biometric Division said, “It was our debut exhibiting at IFSEC and we had lots of interest in our biometric solutions. ICU Pro uses facial analysis to control access to buildings or allow hygienic contactless entry whilst ICU Lite can be used for age estimation to control access to age restricted goods and services. Many visitors to the stand where impressed with the contactless nature of our access control solutions and how we use our own AI algorithms developed and trained over many years to guarantee a highly secure system, rather than algorithms that are publicly available.”
Speaking about UNITI, the trade fair for the retail petroleum and car wash industries, Thorsten Labusch, VP of Sales & Business Development (RKB) for ITL said, “We are delighted to report three busy days atUNITI with many requests and considerable interest in CashGenic and MyCheckr. Our hygienic cash automation kit, CashGenic, can successfully automate the counting and handling of cash, therefore saving time and generating greater efficiencies for retailers. Whilst MyCheckr is ideal for retailers who sell age restricted goods, assisting staff with age checks by providing an extra level of assurance when challenging underage customers for ID. Our stand was positioned next to our German Trading Partner, PerfectMoney and the collaboration worked nicely at the show.”
Feeding back on ITL’s participation at the Casino Operators Summit in Riga, Enrique Jütten, VP of Sales & Business Development (GAV) commented, “We received some great feedback at the COS exhibition in Riga. We had an enjoyable and productive time with partners and colleagues in the casino industry after such a long break. Our NV200 Spectral was the clear star of the show for the casino market, themost technically advanced note validator in its class ensures efficient cash processing, and its’ modular design feature allows customers to easily add additional functionality such as note recycling. Customer were pleased that we can continue to fulfil worldwide orders for all our core products.”

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
