Compliance Updates
HIT Slots are coming to Romania!
The rumors got it right! The wait is over. The popular and bright slots provider Endorphina is bringing its slots to Romanian operators and its local players.
The company has been granted a Class II license by the Romanian regulator (ONJN) allowing it to enter the country’s regulated market. Thanks to this license, Endorphina Games will be permitted to provide local gambling operators with their versatile portfolio of 73+ trendy games, certified for the Romanian market by GLI.
The Class 2 license is required for B2B providers specialized in the gambling industry which are supplying products/services to B2C operators licensed in Romania. The applicant is required to have its entire IT system audited by a specialized testing laboratory that holds a Class 2 license, while the gambling software must be certified by a Class 2 licensed certifier, including the random number generator and return-to-player percentage for each game. Endorphina has passed all these tests successfully and proved its reliability.
CEO of Endorphina Jan Urbanec commented on the newly issued license:
“I am proud of the whole Endorphina team. It is with great pleasure that I can announce that we are in fact licensed in the Romanian market. After acquiring the MGA license, this is another milestone for us. We continue to comply with the international legislative standards that are required from our product and at the same time, we are keeping the games fun and engaging for the players.”
Endorphina has worked hard to access the regulated Romanian market and this is a great step forward. Thanks to the two Class II licenses, the B2B gaming software developer Endorphina will be provided with the chance to offer Romanian qualitative casinos and other operators such hits as 2020 Hit Slot, Cash Tank and Book of Santa, along with many others.

The Dutch gambling regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has published its Match-fixing Trend Analysis for 2024.
In 2024, there were 13 reports from license holders, compared to 6 reports in 2023. The reports concern striking betting patterns, risky matches and striking changes in odds. Following the investigation into these signals, the KSA has issued 4 warnings and a guideline with guidance for the market will follow shortly.
In the Trend Analysis Match Fixing 2024, the KSA provides an overview of the reports it received in the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. It concerns 13 reports of possible match fixing, originating from 8 different license holders. Compared to the trend analysis for the year 2023, the number of reports has more than doubled. Possible explanations are efforts by the KSA to create more awareness of the reporting obligation among licensed providers or a global increase in reports of match fixing. A number of the signals were reason for investigation. Based on this, the KSA issued 4 warnings.
The KSA will make even more efforts to point out to licensed providers their legal obligation to inform the KSA without delay of indications that point to an increased risk of manipulation of an involved match. Guidance for the market in the form of a guideline will follow shortly. In addition, the KSA will continue to monitor the signals.
One of the goals of the Gambling Act is to combat gambling-related match-fixing at licensed providers of sports betting. The KSA has no legal task in detecting match-fixing, but examines whether licensed providers do enough to prevent match-fixing.
For this purpose, the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) was established within the KSA, a reporting point for signals of possible match-fixing in gambling.

Jackpot Digital Inc., the world’s leading provider of innovative dealerless electronic poker gaming solutions, has announced that it has received license approval from the Maine Gambling Control Unit (MGCU).
This milestone marks a significant achievement for the Company, as it is the first state-issued license it has received in the US. This state license allows the Company to install its casino machines throughout all of Maine.
“Receiving approval from MGCU is a major accomplishment. Until now, our U.S. licenses have been exclusively through our valued Indian Gaming casino partners, who issue licenses for their respective properties. A state license, however, grants us access to the entire state. We have several additional state licenses pending approval, representing a major expansion opportunity into larger state-regulated commercial casinos,” Jake Kalpakian, CEO of Jackpot Digital, said.
“More immediately, this MGCU approval enables us to offer Jackpot Blitz to gaming operators across Maine. We are excited to bring our innovative products to Maine’s gaming community and reinforce our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology-driven entertainment,” Mr. Kalpakian added.
Jackpot Digital’s flagship product, the Jackpot Blitz ETG, offers a modern, dealerless, player-friendly poker solution that integrates traditional multiplayer poker games with cutting-edge digital technology. The MGCU license will enable the company to offer its innovative gaming solutions to operators throughout Maine, driving new revenue opportunities and enhancing player experiences.
