Slots and table games from the developer’s 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries now available to operators in the just-opened regulated market

1X2 Network, the award-winning casino content provider and aggregator, has made its debut in the just-regulated Dutch market after receiving the necessary approvals from regulatory body, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA).

1X2 Network is permitted to offer online slots and table games from its 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries to operators licensed in the Dutch market, which officially opened its digital doors at the beginning of the month.

Entering the Dutch market forms part of wider plans to obtain certifications in key regulated markets. Currently, 1X2 Network is live in 12 jurisdictions – the UK, Isle of Man, Malta, Gibraltar, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Colombia, Romania, Greece, Germany and now the Netherlands.

Operators licensed by KSA can partner with 1X2 Network to offer their players games such as Megaways^TM Jack, Rock the Reels Megaways^TM, 1 Million Megaways^TM BC, Battle Maidens^TM Cleopatra, Book of Loki and Smoking Hot Fruits.

1X2 Network has built a formidable reputation for developing online casino content that combines striking design with smart math and complex mechanics. This ensures a fun, entertaining and ultimately thrilling experience across all games.

Operators will also be able to access Branded Megaways^TM, an award-winning concept from 1X2 Network that allows them to quickly and cost-effectively launch their own Megaways^TM slots. This takes player engagement and loyalty to the next level.

Kevin Reid, CCO at 1X2 Network, said: “We are delighted to have received the necessary approvals to offer our award-winning slots and table games to operators in the newly-regulated Dutch market. This forms part of wider plans to secure licenses in core regulated markets around the world.

“Our games have been developed to engage players and deliver fun and excitement with every spin. Titles such as 1 Million Megaways^TM BC have gone on to top the charts in global markets and we believe they will be just as popular with players in the Netherlands.

“We look forward to going live with our first operator partners shortly and to play a part in the market growing and maturing in the coming months and years.”

TJPE cites a Brasília federal ruling that suspended the legal effects of Spribe’s AVIATOR registration and barred exclusivity claims during nullity proceedings.

The Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) has revoked preliminary appellate relief previously granted to Spribe OÜ in litigation over the AVIATOR trademark in Brazil.

In a monocratic decision, Justice Andrea Epaminondas Tenorio de Brito held that the factual and legal basis for the earlier injunction no longer exists. The court pointed to a subsequent decision by the Federal Court in Brasília that provisionally suspended the legal effects of Spribe’s Brazilian AVIATOR trademark registration and ordered Spribe to refrain from asserting exclusivity based on that registration while federal nullity proceedings are ongoing.

TJPE said its earlier relief relied on the presumption that Spribe’s trademark registration before Brazil’s National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) was fully valid and enforceable. With the federal court suspending the registration’s effects, the Pernambuco court found the underlying circumstances had materially changed.

The court cited Article 296 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure as the basis for revoking the preliminary relief in light of the changed legal situation.

The Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) has revoked preliminary appellate relief previously granted to Spribe OÜ in ongoing litigation over the use of the AVIATOR trademark in Brazil, citing a change in the legal circumstances supporting the earlier decision.

In a monocratic decision, Justice Andrea Epaminondas Tenorio de Brito concluded that the factual and legal basis for the prior injunction no longer exists. The ruling follows a decision by the Federal Court in Brasília that provisionally suspended the legal effects of Spribe’s Brazilian AVIATOR trademark registration.

According to the press release, the federal court also ordered Spribe to refrain from asserting exclusivity based on that registration until the federal nullity proceedings are resolved.

TJPE said its earlier decision had relied on the presumption that Spribe’s trademark registration with the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) was fully valid and enforceable. With the federal court now suspending the legal effects of that registration, the Pernambuco court held that the foundation for interim relief had materially changed, prompting revocation under Article 296 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure.

GGL Publishes Activity Report 2025

The German Gambling Authority (GGL) has published its latest activity report for 2025. The report highlights the GGL’s measures in supervising legal providers and its latest work against illegal gambling.

Supervision and Licensing of Legal Providers Further Systematised

While previous years focused primarily on granting licenses, in 2025 the emphasis shifted significantly to the structured supervision of licensed providers. Key instruments included supervisory discussions, both ad hoc and proactive measures based on reports and market observations. Internal collaboration between the relevant departments was further intensified, contributing to a uniform and consistent supervisory practice.

Further Development of the Technical Infrastructure and Supervisory Systems

The expansion of the technical infrastructure was further advanced. The goal is to create a reliable and comparable data basis for supervision, analysis and future regulatory decisions. Enforcing the mandatory and correct use of the safe servers by the authorised providers remained a challenging process in 2025, but it is the foundation for the necessary improvement in data quality.

Focusing the Fight Against Illegal Gambling on the Entire Market Environment

In 2025, the approach to combating illegal online gambling was further refined and consistently aligned with the entire market environment. In addition to measures against the operators themselves, the focus is increasingly shifting to the service providers involved. This approach ensures that illegal offerings are not viewed in isolation, but rather addressed within their market and process contexts.

In 2025, GGL worked closely with platform operators to further reduce the visibility of illegal content in the digital space.

Market measurement has been further developed scientifically. Due to its opaque and dynamic structure, the evaluation of the development of the illegal gambling market requires a particularly robust methodological basis. The 2025 activity report therefore does not include any independent figures on the size of the illegal market for the year 2025. Instead, the presentation is based on the results of the scientific study “Investigation of the black market and channeling of gambling on the internet based on a survey of gamblers”.

GGL deliberately chose this approach to increase the validity and comparability of the market data and to ensure methodologically sound results.

This study, already published, shows that in 2024 the market volume of illegal and therefore unregulated online gambling will be 23%. This results in a channeling rate of 77%. This means that legal or regulated offerings account for more than three-quarters of the online gambling market.

The existing study will be continued so that a scientifically sound data basis on the development of the illegal market can be provided.

Outlook 2026: 5 Years of GGL Mean Evaluation and Further Development

The developments so far show an increasing consolidation of the supervisory and enforcement structures within the framework of the State Treaty on Gambling 2021.

The focus in the coming years will be on the legally required evaluation, the preparation of the new licensing cycle from 2027 onwards, and the further strengthening of data-based and scientifically sound supervisory instruments.

The 2025 activity report can be found under Publications of the Joint Gambling Authority of the Federal States – Annual Reports.
