Betixon secures Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) Recognition Notice

Rising star mobile casino game developer certified for launch with operators licensed by the prestigious regulatory body
Betixon, the developer of mobile-first online slot games, has been awarded a B2B Recognition Notice by the prestigious Malta Gaming Authority allowing the developer to integrate its full suite of games with Malta-licensed operators.
Securing an MGA Recognition Notice is a major milestone in the studio’s brief but successful story, allowing the developer to continue to deploy its strategy of partnering with operators in regulated markets around the world – it already holds UKGC and ONJN licenses and certifications in the UK, Lithuania, Romania, Estonia, Italy and Colombia.
Betixon has already earned an incredible reputation for the production value of its mobile-first slots, which boast striking graphics and stunning illustrations which are combined with authentic sound to deliver a truly engaging and entertaining player experience.
This is paired with smart math and cutting-edge mechanics to ensure games are not style over substance. Most popular games to date include Boots of Luck, Wild Wolf and Age of Halvar which are available at big-name operators.
The developer is also in the final stages of launching the first slot in its flagship Fortune Breakers series, which promises to take visuals, audio and gameplay to the next level, especially when games are being played from smartphone or tablet.”
Lior Cohen, Co-founder and CTO of Betixon, said: “The Malta Gaming Authority is one of the most prestigious and respected regulators in the world. To be awarded a Recognition Notice is a huge honour and proves our games are meeting the highest possible standards.
“Our plans for growth are geared heavily around regulated markets and we have identified Malta and Malta-licensed operators as having huge potential for Betixon as we continue to work through our game roadmap and launch our Fortune Breakers series over the coming months.
“This is a big moment for us, and we look forward to doing incredible things now that we have secured licenses in key regulated markets.”

New Report Details Current Situation of Online Gambling Outside the Licensed Market in Sweden

The Swedish Gambling Authority, Spelinspektionen, has released a new report detailing the current situation of online gambling that takes place outside the licensed market in Sweden. It contains a survey of the key players who engage in illegal gambling and their methods of reaching Swedish players.
The assessment is that the supply of unlicensed online gambling is large and relatively easily accessible. The Swedish Gambling Authority has developed methods to identify unlicensed gambling sites where Swedes play. It is a relatively small group of players, probably fewer than 5% of the total number of players, who demand games that do not have a Swedish gaming license.
Under current legislation, the Swedish Gambling Authority cannot intervene against all gambling sites that do not have a Swedish gambling license. According to the so-called targeting criterion, the authority can currently only intervene against gambling sites that target gambling customers in Sweden through, for example, marketing or that have gambling sites that are designed for the Swedish market.
“We welcome the ongoing investigation into the expanded scope of application, which is to be reported no later than 17 September this year. Despite the problems with the current scope of application, we believe that our interventions, where possible, are important and have an effect. It is therefore important that we continue our work to combat illegal gambling even during the ongoing investigation of the regulations,” said Spelinspektionen’s Director General Camilla Rosenberg.

Karnataka Govt to Introduce New Law to Regulate Online Betting and Gaming

The Karnataka government has announced that it will introduce a new law to regulate online betting and gaming.
Home Minister G Parameshwara said a committee of senior officials and industry representatives has been constituted and it has been given a month’s time to submit a draft of the proposed bill.
“I chaired a meeting regarding online betting and gambling yesterday along with the IT Minister. Representatives from the industry were called. There is nothing to regulate them so far. They have agreed to the introduction of a licence system and a regulation as per law,” he said.
The state government held a high-level meeting to discuss a legal framework for regulating online gaming.
IT-BT Minister Priyank Kharge said that the intent of the legislation is to curb online gambling, betting and games of chance, and protect consumers from fraud while supporting innovation and the sustainable growth of the skill-based gaming industry.
Karnataka is set to introduce a legal framework to ban gambling while permitting skill-based games following a model similar to that of Chhattisgarh.
Kharge said he held a detailed meeting with the state home minister, senior government officials, members of online gaming federations, and industry experts to discuss the proposed framework.
“The legitimate online skill-based gaming industry in India is a sunrise sector worth USD 4 billion, contributing Rs 12,000 crore in taxes and creating over 1.5 lakh jobs. Karnataka alone accounts for 25 percent of the market and contributes Rs 1350 crore annually in taxes, making it a key hub,” he said.
The minister also raised concerns over the growing underground market of offshore gambling and illegal betting.
“Alongside the legitimate sector, there is a parallel underground market that is expanding rapidly, posing risks such as predatory money collection practices, dubious shell companies, financial fraud, data breaches, and cybercrimes,” he said.
Kharge also held discussions with representatives of the E-Gaming Federation (EGF), the All India Gaming Federation (AIGF) and the Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS) regarding their collaborative “Code of Ethics” for the industry.

BC.GAME, a prominent cryptocurrency entertainment platform, announced the official upgrade of its Telegram group with a new link: https://t.me/bcgame. This shift represents an important step forward for the platform in terms of brand unification, community operations and user identification paths.
BC.GAME, one of the most active platforms in the crypto entertainment market, has a sizable user base spread across channels such as Telegram, Discord and Twitter. The Telegram community alone has millions of members from many critical areas. Behind each time zone, a committed group of gamers and community administrators keeps the community alive by sharing gaming experiences, uploading the most recent event announcements and assisting new users in swiftly integrating into the distinctive “BC community culture”.
Unifying the group link is both a way to make the platform’s design more consistent and a way to improve the user experience. It’s easier and faster for new players to remember t.me/bcgame than any of the other subdomain names. For current players, it means a clearer official entry point, which makes it less likely that they will run into fake groups.
