In an industry that demands innovation and responsibility in equal measure, NOVOMATIC is once again sending a clear signal that player protection is more than just a buzzword. The recertification by the renowned Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4) is proof of NOVOMATIC’s ingrained sense of responsibility and its deep commitment, which goes far beyond what is required by law.

Taking responsibility is in NOVOMATIC’s corporate DNA. Responsible gaming together with the associated player protection and prevention measures are therefore a top priority for the Group. This is a fact demonstrated by the Group’s recertification in accordance with the recognized G4 standard issued by the Global Gambling Guidance Group. The award, created by experts in the field of responsible gaming, is internationally recognized as the most renowned and demanding standard for player protection. As a pioneer and driving force in the area of player protection, NOVOMATIC has been committed to the G4 standard since 2019 and is one of the few gaming companies around the world to meet the demanding criteria of the independent audit. With certified locations in several core European markets – including Austria, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands – NOVOMATIC is demonstrating its consistent global focus on responsible and sustainable gaming technologies.

Responsibility at the Highest Level

The fact that the G4 standard is subject to ongoing development means that it is necessary to seek recertification every three years. As one of the world’s leading gaming technology companies, NOVOMATIC rises to this challenge time and again with its full commitment and innovative solutions.

“This certification is proof of our pursuit of excellent and responsible entertainment. As a globally active technology supplier and operator of international casinos, the recertification is clear evidence of our ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe and sustainable gaming experience,” the Executive Board of the NOVOMATIC AG Group said.

Ynze Remmers, G4 Lead Auditor, said: “NOVOMATIC AG, as a supplier to the industry, sets the bar for responsible gambling with cutting-edge biometric technology, robust player protection tools, and a commitment to global standards – driving player safety and innovation across the gaming industry.”

The G4 certification comprises over 100 criteria – from comprehensive internal guidelines to intensive employee training, transparent customer risk education and responsible marketing. NOVOMATIC is a pioneer in responsible entertainment, consistently integrating responsible gaming into its business strategy at the highest level. Having renewed its G4 certification, NOVOMATIC remains a driving force behind global player protection.

Aviator Studio has achieved a significant legal victory in Brazil after a Federal Court ordered the suspension of Spribe’s trademark registration for “Aviator,” recognizing the strength of Aviator Studio’s claims related to the grounds of invalidation of Spribe’s trademarks.

The decision, issued by the 18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, prevents Spribe from relying on the exclusivity rights arising from Brazilian trademark registration No. 501759803 until a final judgment is rendered.

The ruling follows legal action brought by Aviator Studio Brazil, which demonstrated that the Aviator trademark had been created and used years before Spribe obtained trademark protection in Brazil. The court acknowledged evidence showing that the Aviator brand originated in Georgia in 2016 and was formally registered there in 2018, years before Spribe’s Brazilian registration.

Importantly, the court also took note of previous judicial decisions in Georgia that invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.

“This decision represents an important step in protecting the Aviator brand and enforcing intellectual property rights internationally. In practical terms, this means that, until the final resolution of the Spribe’s trademark invalidation proceedings, Spribe will no longer be able to continue it’s disruptive practices against operators, including sending threatening letters or initiating legal actions related to the use of Aviator Studio’s trademark.” comments George Pruidze, CEO of Aviator Studio. “We remain committed to defending the integrity of the Aviator brand and ensuring that its legitimate ownership is recognized across all jurisdictions.”

Aviator Studio will continue pursuing all available legal measures to safeguard its intellectual property rights and protect the integrity of the Aviator trademark worldwide.

Approval from HM Government of Gibraltar’s Gambling Division lets the supplier serve Gibraltar-licensed iGaming operators.

ThrillTech has been granted a Gambling Services (B2B) Licence by the Gambling Division of HM Government of Gibraltar, allowing the supplier to provide its opt-in jackpot and mystery reward products to regulated iGaming operators licensed in Gibraltar.

The company said the licence supports its international expansion plans and will enable it to deploy its ThrillPots product with additional operators in the jurisdiction, which hosts a number of tier-one betting and gaming brands.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing a B2B licence in Gibraltar is an important step for ThrillTech and a testament to our market-leading jackpots technology. Gibraltar is home to some of the industry’s most prestigious operators. This approval not only accelerates our global expansion strategy but now allows us to provide these major operators with new layers of player engagement which generate incremental revenue.”

ThrillTech said it seeks market-specific licences and certifications because its side-bet jackpots operate independently of operators’ core casino games and betting products. The company added that its jackpots are powered by a proprietary, certified RNG and do not alter core game RTP, with funding coming from opt-in player contributions.

According to ThrillTech, its regulated market licences and certifications also include the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Peru, and Brazil.

BGC Calls on Tech Giants to Protect Consumers from Illegal Gambling Sites

The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has issued an open letter to Britain’s leading technology platforms calling for urgent action to tackle the growing threat posed by illegal gambling operators online.

The letter, signed by BGC Chief Executive Grainne Hurst, warns that black market gambling websites are increasingly using social media platforms, search engines, messaging services and digital advertising networks to reach consumers in Britain, including people who have self-excluded from gambling and those seeking support.

The intervention follows warnings from Gambling Commission Executive Director Tim Miller, who earlier this year highlighted the continued presence of illegal gambling advertising online, including promotions for so-called “not on GamStop” operators.

The BGC argues that illegal operators are exploiting digital platforms to access UK consumers while operating entirely outside the regulatory framework designed to protect them.

Unlike regulated operators, black market gambling websites are not licensed by the Gambling Commission, do not carry out customer protection measures, do not contribute to research, prevention and treatment services through the statutory levy, and do not pay UK tax.

Analysis by WARC suggests illegal operators now account for almost half of all gambling advertising spend in Britain and could overtake the regulated sector entirely by 2028. Separate analysis by H2 Gambling Capital forecasts that stakes with black market operators could grow from £17bn today to £33bn by 2028.

Grainne Hurst, Chief Executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, said:

“The harmful black market is growing at an alarming rate, and illegal operators are exploiting online platforms to target British consumers.

“Technology companies have some of the most advanced tools, data and expertise in the world. The question is no longer whether this problem can be addressed, but whether enough is being done.

“Every consumer drawn towards an illegal operator is being pulled away from the protections of the regulated market.

“We are calling on technology platforms to match the scale of the threat with the scale of their response.”

In the open letter, the BGC calls on technology companies to proactively identify and remove illegal gambling advertising, invest more resources in disrupting black market operators, strengthen cooperation with regulators and law enforcement, increase transparency around enforcement activity and work collectively to prevent vulnerable consumers being targeted by unlicensed operators.
