ESA Gaming maintains growth momentum with Sweden certification
Innovative games provider ESA Gaming has reinforced its commitment to grow in regulated markets after receiving certification to launch its EasySwipe™ portfolio in Sweden.
ESA Gaming’s library of EasySwipe™ titles are now available to licensed operators in Sweden, including player favourites Goal Mine and FruitStaxx, as well as recently launched Egyptian Reels.
The supplier’s games offering has grown rapidly in the last 12 months with additional titles to be added in 2022, including slots and crash-style content.
The EasySwipe™ games family offers great cross-sell opportunities to sportsbooks by allowing users to enjoy the best quality casino games without disrupting the sports betting experience.
The new certification comes off the back of a string of market entries for ESA Gaming including Greece, Portugal and Romania, with the supplier aiming to launch in additional jurisdictions in the near future as part of its ambitious growth strategy.
Zorica Smallwood, Director at ESA Gaming, said: “Further expanding the reach of our content to new territories is high up on our agenda for 2022 so we are pleased to now be able to partner with operators in Sweden, a market we have had our eyes on for a long time.
“Both sports betting and online casino are popular verticals in Sweden and our EasySwipe™ games will be a perfect fit for operators wanting to boost their cross-sell capabilities and offer players a brand-new experience.”

Arshak Muradyan Digitain Group's Chief Compliance Officer
Digitain Group Products are Certified for Brazil
Digitain among the first game and software suppliers to successfully meet Brazil’s new regulatory standards.
Digitain, a leading provider of sportsbook and casino platform solutions, is proud to announce that it is among the first game and software suppliers to successfully meet Brazil’s new regulatory standards.
The Brazilian gaming market is undergoing a significant transformation. With new regulations in place, gaming operators and providers must adapt quickly to meet these evolving requirements. This achievement underscores Digitain’s commitment to delivering high-quality gaming products and ensuring full compliance with local laws and regulations, allowing our partners to continue their operations seamlessly.
Arshak Muradyan, Digitain Group’s Chief Compliance Officer, stated, “Brazil’s gaming industry has witnessed rapid growth over the past few years, with more attention given to regulating and managing this fast-evolving market. In 2024, Brazil introduced stricter rules for gaming providers, including new certification requirements, enhanced player protection measures, and tighter oversight of both games and operators. The certification process, conducted by an authorised testing laboratory of GLI (Gaming Laboratories International), ensures that our products meet the high standards of quality and fairness mandated by Brazilian regulators.”
Ani Mkrtchyan, Chief Sales Officer of Digitain Group, said, “As a company operating on the global stage, Digitain Group has consistently recognised the importance of regulatory compliance. This is why we’ve acted swiftly to meet the new requirements set out by Brazil’s regulatory authorities, positioning ourselves as one of the first companies to successfully navigate this evolving landscape.”
“Digitain Group’s success in securing certification for the Brazilian market is a significant milestone, and we’re proud to be among the first to meet these new regulatory standards. By adhering to the highest standards of compliance, we ensure the integrity of the industry and position ourselves and our partners for continued success in one of the world’s fastest-growing gaming markets.”

Registered online bookmaker VicBet has been fined $130,000 for 2 breaches of its customer care obligations.
Announcing the fine, Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) CEO Annette Kimmitt AM reminded the gambling industry of the potential for people to experience severe harm when rules are not followed.
“Breaches can have serious consequences, not only in terms of punitive actions against the companies we catch out, but for people whose lives are affected by this behaviour,” Ms Kimmitt said.
“It is an egregious betrayal of trust, for example, to continue to send marketing materials to a person who has self-excluded from a gambling venue or closed a betting account.”
The VGCCC’s investigations into complaints about VicBet found the bookmaker had:
• offered and provided a $1,800 bonus bet to a customer after they asked for their betting account to be closed in September 2022. VicBet was fined $50,000.
• repeatedly sent gambling promotional material to a customer after they permanently self-excluded from VicBet in March 2020. The penalty was an $80,000 fine.
It is an offence for a bookmaker to encourage or offer any credit, voucher or reward, or other benefit to induce an account holder to keep an account open after they have requested its closure.
Similarly, sending correspondence or promotional material to customers who have self-excluded contravenes the Victorian Bookmakers’ Association Code of Conduct.
“On these occasions, VicBet failed to live up to both its legal and social licences to operate, which include minimising the risk of harm to customers,” Ms Kimmitt said.
“Industry must respect the wishes of people who decide to have a break from, or quit, gambling. This means taking all reasonable steps to enforce harm prevention initiatives that customers commit themselves to, such as self-exclusion programs.”
VicBet was given the opportunity to “show cause” as to why disciplinary action should not be taken. Submissions from its legal representative were considered prior to a determination being made.
