GrooveGaming showcasing at the Caribbean Gaming Show
Aggregator GrooveGaming is attending the Caribbean Gaming Show (CGS) on August 27 and 28, which is this year celebrating 10 years in the gaming industry. The show and summit are primarily focused on the Latin American market where GrooveGaming has established a significant presence.
The current outlook with COVID-19 and the possibility of a second wave has prompted the organisers to take the digital leap with the online show designed as ‘CGS Cloud 2020’, the focus for the show and summit being to keep looking forward to a rapid revival across the gaming industry.
Between August 27 and 28 ‘CGS Cloud 2020’ delegates will hear from over 100 engaging speakers from all around the world, with 15-panel discussions addressing a range of LatAm gaming problems, and hearing from top experts on how to move ahead during these uncertain times.
GrooveGaming’s line-up of gaming and content solutions will be showcased at the forthcoming ‘CGS Cloud 2020′ and will cover the award-winning technology that catapulted GrooveGaming to one of the ’10 Best Technology Solution Providers of 2020’ by IndustryEra, firmly demonstrating that the aggregator’s technology development is being acknowledged not only in the iGaming industry, but also from outside it.
GrooveGaming’s powerful platform includes over 4000 casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.
GrooveGaming has numerous live dealer titles and has built a powerful on-demand live content offering that includes live roulette, baccarat, blackjack and live dedicated tables, all of which have been generating significant interest during 2020. In addition, GrooveGaming’s virtual sports offering includes virtual football, tennis, horse-racing, cycling and greyhound racing, with virtual Euro basketball and cricket coming soon to the rapidly-expanding aggregator.
A major reason why GrooveGaming is becoming the aggregator of choice around the world is that GrooveGaming is powered by technology innovation which provides operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.
Elizabeth Leiva Goycochea, CEO of CGS Group LLc, organiser of the Caribbean Gaming Show said: “We are delighted to be pioneers, this will be the first virtual event for the Latam industry. We have lined up more than 45 panelists and important exhibiting brands with the purpose to link operators from the Caribbean, Latin America and Brazil.

Kazakhstan Orders Telecom Providers to Block Illegal Online Casino Payments via Mobile Balances
Kazakhstan authorities have moved to tighten controls on illegal online gambling payments after uncovering schemes that use mobile phone balances to fund unlicensed casino activity.
The Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) issued instructions to telecom providers to strengthen monitoring and introduce systems to detect and block suspicious transactions.
According to the FMA, mobile operators including Tele2, Altel, Beeline, Kcell and Activ were called to a working meeting where regulators demonstrated how illicit payment flows to online casinos are being processed.
To verify the issue, the FMA carried out test purchases across 10 illegal online casino websites using services from all major mobile operators. The tests confirmed that payments via mobile balances were possible.
The agency stated that the goal is to cut off financial access to illegal operators and reduce public exposure to unregulated platforms. Further enforcement actions are expected as monitoring continues.
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is preparing to significantly tighten rules on the promotion of illegal gambling. A group of senators is advancing an initiative to introduce criminal penalties for influencers who advertise online casinos and organise “giveaways.”
In related developments, a Kazakhstani influencer has recently been arrested in Vietnam on suspicion of running an illegal gambling operation.
Furthermore, the country is also restricting citizens’ access to legal gambling options, indicating a broader anti-gambling stance towards locals while still pursuing gambling tourism.
Lawmakers introduced rules restricting access to casinos, slot machine halls and betting venues in several regions to foreign nationals only. The changes will take effect on 17 May.
In March, President Tokayev signed a law establishing four new gambling zones for foreigners in the country.
