Compliance Updates
Singular appoints Claudio Overend as the new Head of Legal and Compliance.
Singular, a Tier 1 supplier, has made a strong comeback on the iGaming scene with the exhibition on SiGMA last November. Following the opening of the second office in Malta, their Core Commercial Base, the company continues to reinforce the B2B growth with the appointment of new Head of Legal and Compliance.
Claudio joins Singular from EveryMatrix where he held a position as a Senior Legal Counsel for the past 4 years. He began his career as an associate lawyer at Aequitas Legal but soon afterward got involved in the iGaming industry during his employment at Kambi.
“I am excited to join a company led by Millenials who are dynamic and forward-looking. These are times of opportunity for the iGaming industry with the increased number of newly regulated markets including the U.S sports betting market. With its progressive leadership, I am confident Singular has solid ground to leverage these opportunities for geographic expansion. I am looking forward to being one of the enablers of this process.” – says Claudio Overend, Head of Legal and Compliance.
In his new role, Claudio will be working closely with the entire management team providing advice and direction on all aspects of relevant laws and regulations affecting the business. The legal team in Malta is set for growth, enhancing the company’s strategic focus on regulated markets.
Darko Gacov, one of the company’s founding partners, welcomes Overend to Singular: “We are more than pleased to have Claudio join our team and bring a fresh perspective on the table. His previous experience in regulatory and compliance is of great value for us in times of rapid growth.”

MDC Issues Commentary as U.S. Gambling Enters “Regulatory Reset” Following $148 Billion Wagered
Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) has issued an expert commentary on what it calls a “regulatory reset” in the U.S. gambling sector, as lawmakers and regulators respond to explosive growth in consumer betting behavior. According to the American Gaming Association, Americans wagered a record $148 billion on sports in 2024. This surge has sparked new scrutiny from both federal and state-level authorities.
Recent legislative efforts in New York, Louisiana, and Montana have targeted sweepstakes-based casinos and skill-based betting formats. Proposed changes include tighter bet size limits, stricter advertising rules, and licensing reforms aimed at reducing player harm and increasing transparency.
“The regulatory environment is catching up with consumer behavior. There’s growing concern over how online gambling is marketed, accessed, and governed. Areas like responsible gaming, ad targeting, and instant deposits are now being looked at much more critically,” said a spokesperson at MDC.
According to the latest figures from the American Gaming Association, U.S. commercial gaming revenue reached $19.44 billion in Q2 2025, marking a 9.8% increase compared to the same period last year. Online casino gaming accounted for $2.6 billion of that total, reflecting a 32.3% year-over-year jump. The numbers underscore continued momentum for digital platforms even as regulations tighten.
MDC’s commentary urges both players and operators to stay ahead of the curve. As laws evolve, demand is rising for licensed platforms that offer low-deposit access, better responsible gambling tools, and full regulatory compliance.
