SoftSwiss launched its very first White Label project on ReactJS – N1 Casino, moving to a next-generation frontend core application that is significantly quicker and more flexible in execution. Thanks to the new React-based frontend architecture, SoftSwiss clients’ websites are able to load faster and become more versatile, providing a better user experience.

Max Trafimovich, CCO at SoftSwiss, commented on this news: “SoftSwiss is always working hard on enhancing its products, striving to turn out the most user-friendly and appealing solutions on the market. We’re excited to introduce N1 as the first project out of many to be launched using the ReactJS framework. This marks a frontend technology shift for all of our product development units”.

Yaroslav Laptev, Deputy CEO of N1 Partners Casino & Betting Group, commented: “Thanks to the introduction of React technology, the processes for launching new projects have been greatly simplified. Furthermore, the release of new tools for user interaction has become much easier. From now on, we’re expecting that all our future endeavours will run only on this core application”.

React is one of the most popular technologies today, being truly the next-generation framework. It is considerably quicker, therefore enabling less traffic consumption for SoftSwiss Online Casino Platform end-users as well as increasing the overall performance and enhancing the user experience on online casino websites. Furthermore, the development teams will find the transition to React JS extremely straightforward and smooth due to the similar syntax for rendering.

Additionally, the fresh React-based frontend core is also functionally more favourable for SEO, which gives yet another edge to SoftSwiss-powered websites. Along with basic features common in, for instance, WordPress CMS such as editing page meta information, the core application works with more specific SEO tags and provides advanced features such as creating custom URLs for certain page sections.

React Core application also provides new functionality to quickly clone an already existing solution, significantly accelerating development process for a new client project as well as minimizing setup errors probability.

Finally, the move to this new framework will ensure more frequent releases of new frontend features available to SoftSwiss clients. The core application is designed in a way that makes adding new functionality more efficient and less time-consuming.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
