GiG awarded ISO 27001 certification for frontend development and CMS
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG), has been awarded an ISO 27001:2021 certification for its frontend development solution and content management system. The certification now covers development, infrastructure, network configuration and associated product operations for frontend, middleware and backend Gaming services hosted on GiG’s infrastructure. In addition, GiG is also ISO 27001 certified for its real-time data platform.
The accreditation means that through its agile security framework, GiG is protecting its partners and their players with the highest level of information security available, further demonstrating GiG’s commitment to continuous improvement and in providing its partners with a secure solution they can trust. Further to this, the certification exempts GIG’s clients from a number of rigorous jurisdiction-specific, technical, regulatory audits, saving time and cost.
ISO 27001 is one of the few standards which uses a top-down, risk-based approach to assessment and identifies the requirements and specifications for the most comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Diane Abela, Director of Information Security at GiG, said
“At GiG, we operate in heavily regulated markets such as the UK and US, and so it’s imperative to us that we are at the top of our game when it comes to certification and information security is, therefore, a strategic priority for us. Acquiring a certification on yet another two of our core products is a clear reflection of the dedication and investment that the company continues to make in securing both our own and our clients’ information.

The licence was granted through Gaming Corps’ subsidiary, Gaming Corps Malta Ltd. The company said the approval positions it to enter Alberta’s regulated iGaming market from day one.
Alex Lorimer, COO at Gaming Corps said: “Securing our Alberta licence marks another important step in Gaming Corps’ regulated market expansion strategy. Canada continues to represent a key growth region for us, and we’re excited to bring our expanding portfolio of games and unique mechanics to operators and players in Alberta.”

IBJR: Crackdown on Illegal Betting Critical to Success of Desenrola 2.0
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has warned that the effectiveness of the financial protection measures included in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a strict crackdown on the illegal betting market.
In 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for only 0.46% of household consumption in the country — an extremely small share of the average Brazilian family budget — according to data from a study conducted by LCA Consultoria. This reinforces that the main driver of household indebtedness in Brazil continues to be the high cost of credit.
The IBJR emphasized that restricting access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to illegal platforms, which already handle around R$40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.
Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators — often linked to organized crime — from taking advantage of restriction windows to attract vulnerable consumers. This concern is heightened by the proximity of the FIFA World Cup, a period that naturally increases the volume of sports betting activity, as well as by the potential loss of R$10.8 billion in tax revenue if consumption shifts to the underground market.
IBJR reiterates that real consumer protection and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector. The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, the strengthening of responsible gaming practices, and a strategic offensive against illegal websites, ensuring that entertainment takes place exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly regulated ecosystem.
