Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) has been awarded ISO 27001 re-certification for four of its primary products including its award-winning platform (PAM), frontend development & CMS solution, sportsbook and data platform. In addition, the company has also been awarded certification for its head office in Malta (GiG Beach), and its offices in Spain and Latvia offices.

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). In passing the re-certification audit this year, GiG will, subject to a yearly surveillance audit, remain certified for a further three years.

Regulatory bodies have started accepting ISO 27001 as an attestation to an organisation’s information security management system. This allows GiG to optimally and centrally evidence its dedication to information security, through its ISO 27001 certification for each platform product. In streamlining its regulatory compliance, GiG regains its teams more time to focus on further growing its product feature portfolio, adding more value to its partners and their players. In addition, having the certification in its office locations, allows GiG to smoothly onboard employees for its platform department in all three locations while firmly ensuring it’s not in breach of any of the conduct rules of the ISO certification.

Diane Abela, Director of Information Security at GiG, said “ At GiG we continue treating digital trust as a priority, holding our information security processes and controls to a very high standard. The ISO 27001 standard demands continuous improvement, year-on-year, and obtaining our re-certification for another 3 years reaffirms our continued improvement and investment in information security towards our partners and regulators. ”

The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has contacted ZEbetting and Betca regarding prohibited betting offers. Both providers offered bets on winning or losing a set during tennis matches. This is not permitted. The KSA has ordered both parties to end the violation and keep it stopped.

Both ZEbetting and Betca have indicated that they have resolved the violation and taken measures to prevent recurrence. The KSA emphasized the importance of monitoring the offering. If providers have nevertheless offered prohibited betting options due to an error, they must also proactively report this to the KSA.

To prevent sports betting manipulation (match-fixing) and protect the integrity of the sport, Dutch gambling legislation prohibits betting on certain matches and events. These include events that are negative or easily manipulated. These events also include winning and losing specific sets in tennis matches. Therefore, bets on these events are prohibited.

As of July 11, 2025, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) no longer requires Registrar approval for responsible gambling (RG) training programs for casino and lottery employees. This change applies to both the Gaming and Lottery Standards and supports a more flexible, outcomes-based approach.

What’s changing

• Standard 2.5 has been updated to remove the need for Registrar approval of RG training.

• Training must still be mandatory, regularly updated, and based on best practices.

• Employees must understand responsible gambling, their role in player protection, and how to support those showing signs of gambling harm.

What this change means for operators and lottery retailers

• Casino and lottery operators now have more flexibility to design and update RG training.

• Existing PlaySmart training remains valid.

Why this change matters
