Betsson Group Accredited with the Latest Version of ISO 27001

Betsson Group has transitioned from the ISO 27001:2013 certification to the ISO 27001:2022 certification, following a confirmation by the British Assessment Bureau (BAB), an internationally recognised body accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) – the sole body appointed by the UK Government to provide accreditation to certification bodies in the UK. This milestone highlights Betsson’s systematic approach to protecting sensitive information, including customer data, employee details, intellectual property, financial information and third-party data.
Betsson Group obtained the ISO 27001:2022 certification by ISO, the International Organisation for Standardisation in December 2024, replacing the ISO 27001:2013 certification, first obtained in 2019 and consistently maintained it in the successive years.
The ISO 27001 standard supports companies with guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system. Meeting this standard means that a business has a solid plan to manage risks related to data security owned or handled by the company and that this system respects all the best practices and principles enshrined in the standard. The ISO 27001:2022 builds on the ISO 27001:2013 version with minor tweaks to some clauses, Annex updates and the addition of new controls. It also refreshes some terminology and definitions to stay in sync with the latest industry standards.
With cyber-crime and new threats on the rise as well as the fast pace of technology advancements , the adoption of ISO 27001 as a standard equips businesses like Betsson Group with a tried and tested security framework which help it become more risk-aware and be in a better position to proactively identify and address weaknesses, whilst striving to continually improve its secure posture.
ISO 27001 certification is also highly respected by regulators and licensing authorities, streamlining Betsson Group’s processes for acquiring new gaming licenses while reinforcing trust and credibility with stakeholders.

Livespins levels up with Malta licence

Live streaming game provider awarded supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority with operator deals and new market launches to follow
Livespins, the live-streaming game provider that sits within the casino lobby, is now the proud holder of a supplier license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
Securing MGA approval is a milestone moment for the award-winning Livespins, which can now offer its socially-charged Bet With Streamers game to operators licensed by the regulator.
This significantly increases Livespins’ addressable audience both in terms of the number of operators it can work with and the markets it can enter.
Livespins has transformed the online casino space with its Bet With Streamers game, which allows operators to tap into the huge demand for streaming content.
Not only do players get to watch streamers fire up the reels on blockbuster slots from the biggest studios, but they can also bet with the streamers.
This creates a group bet and a shared experience but with each player able to select their own bet and number of spins. If the streamer wins, they win. It’s that simple.
Social engagement is at the heart of the Livespins experience with players able to chat with the streamer and each other throughout – they can even drop reactions, emojis and gifs.
This helps to build a community around Bet With Streamers and also the operator’s brand, allowing online casinos to unlock unprecedented retention rates as players keep coming back for more.
Because Livespins sits within the casino lobby, players are given all of the responsible gambling and safe gaming tools required under the operator’s local and international licences.
Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “We are thrilled to have secured a supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority which is a testament to the quality of the product and experience we provide, and how it aligns with the regulator’s goals regarding responsible gambling.
“Malta licences are highly valued, allowing suppliers to engage with a large number of operators in markets across the world. With our licence in hand, we will now be striking deals with tons of MGA operators and taking the Livespins revolution to even more markets across the world.”

Western Australia Increases Penalties to Strengthen Gambling Laws

The Government of Western Australia (WA) has increased enforcement powers and penalties to bolster the regulation of WA’s gambling industry through law reform.
The reforms address the findings and recommendations of the Perth Casino Royal Commission which found that the legislation needed to be modernised to be fit for purpose.
Amendments include significant increases in a range of penalties when there is a failure to comply with gambling laws and directions issued by the Gaming and Wagering Commission (GWC).
Gaming and Wagering Commission Chair Gary Dreibergs said: “I welcome the reforms which will greatly assist the Gaming and Wagering Commission in our important task to enforce gambling laws and disrupt illegal gambling in WA.
“The substantial increase in penalties will act as a more effective deterrent and a more appropriate punishment for law breakers who may regard current lower penalties as an acceptable risk when they consider the profits that can be made from subverting the laws.
“The extra powers for the GWC will help to significantly boost our ability to carry out successful investigations and prosecutions to stamp out illegal activity, which often attracts money launderers and organised crime gangs.”
