ITL’s Age Check Solutions Attract Big Crowds at ICE London
Innovative Technology (ITL) took part in the last ICE to be held in London last week which attracted huge crowds from the gaming industry before the show moves to Barcelona in 2025. The Innovative stand was right opposite the Consumer Protection Zone which was a key theme at the show, with both their traditional cash handling equipment and latest biometric technology ranges on display.
Marcus Tiedt, Director of Sales & Marketing at ITL, said: “By far the most crowd-pulling solution on the stand was our AI-powered biometric age check technology which provides the gaming industry with a robust tool to prevent underage gambling and safeguard vulnerable players. The industry, government, operators and manufacturers are all committed to ensuring player protection and it was great to demonstrate at ICE how accurate age verification can play a key role. We showed how easy and intuitive it is to receive alerts via a tablet or mobile device whenever someone potentially underage or even self-excluded is trying to play a machine or access an age restricted area at multiple touchpoints.”
Dr Andrew O’Brien, Biometrics Product Manager, said: “Major UK OEMs including Inspired and Reflex have already successfully installed our ICU Lite age verification solution into their gaming cabinets so it was fantastic to see some of them demo this fully integrated on site at ICE. We were also pleased to show a team of compliance and local authority officers our solutions following their visit to the GBG (Gambling Business Group) stand which demonstrated ICU Lite working in an Inspired machine. A key advantage of our technology is that customers only need to pay for the hardware with unlimited age checks at no extra cost. No matter how many age checks are performed, the cost remains the same, making this an affordable solution with a quick return on investment, especially when compared to a subscription service. Plus it’s a completely offline solution meaning all processing is done locally making our solution faster, readily accessible even with no or poor internet and with no privacy issues to worry about either.”
ITL also had a section of their stand dedicated to their traditional cash handling equipment that includes note and coin validators and recyclers which have been used by the gaming industry for over 30 years.
Marcus said: “It was great to show ICE visitors our latest devices for secure cash transactions including the NV4000 and new coin elevator module for the SMART Coin System (SCS). The NV4000 mixed denomination multi bill recycler is ideal for change and redemption terminals, boasting larger recycling capacities, meaning fewer refills and improved machine uptime. Combining the NV4000 with the new elevator module for the SCS, not only can we provide a complete payment solution for both notes and coins, but we can also minimise the gap between coin entry and exit points, improving accessibility and the overall customer experience.”
Marcus added: “There was a real buzz on the stand this year and our team are excited to follow up on all the positive conversations that took place to ensure our gaming customers have the best possible cash validation and age estimation solutions in place. We are proud to be a long-standing supporter of ICE and look forward to celebrating our 30th year exhibiting in Barcelona in 2025.”

GoldenRace launches V5 mobile solution with unified app and WebGL branding
GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.
According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.
On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.
The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.
GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

PopOK Gaming secures certification for Portugal iGaming market
PopOK Gaming has obtained certification for the Portuguese iGaming market, adding Portugal to its list of regulated jurisdictions where it can offer compliant gaming content to licensed operators.
The company said the certification confirms it meets local regulatory and technical requirements and supports its strategy to expand in regulated markets.
PopOK Gaming did not disclose which regulator or test lab issued the certification, which products are covered, or the date the approval was granted.
Portugal continues to operate a ring-fenced regulated online gambling framework, with market access dependent on product approvals and operator licensing. For suppliers, local certification is typically a prerequisite to distribute content to licensed brands.

API
St8 adds game round replays to its single API platform
Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.
St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.
The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.
St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.
Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.
David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.
“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
