ODDIN.GG TO POWER THE FIRST AND ONLY LEGAL ESPORTS OPERATOR IN VIETNAM
Oddin.gg, one of the industry’s most preferred providers of esports odds feeds, risk management and iFrame solutions, is happy to announce its new cooperation with CBV (Center of Betting Vietnam).
Oddin.gg will provide its iFrame solution to CBV, the sole holder of an esports gambling license as granted by the local authorities in Vietnam, and therefore the first and only legal esports operator in the country for the foreseeable future. This marks the new era for South East Asia as Vietnam will become one of the very few countries where esports betting will be legally allowed. Given the population of 96 million, smartphone penetration of 45% and the fact that 70% of the population has access to the internet, it is no surprise there are already 5 million esports enthusiasts in the country. The esports scene is poised to explode in the upcoming years.
CBV operates under the auspices of AVRCIPL (Association of Research and Consultancy on Policies and Law for Investment in Vietnam). AVRCIPL is responsible for connecting state agencies and private sector corporations, helping the latter to overcome policy and legal challenges for investment activities in Vietnam.
Bang Dang, spokesperson for CBV noted on the new collaboration: “Selecting the best and most reliable solution on the market was crucial for our aim to build the market from the ground up. Out of all the providers we have reviewed, Oddin.gg stood out with their comprehensive end-to-end iFrame solution that was fast to implement and provides us the level of control we were looking for. At the same time we can fully rely on Oddin.gg’s expertise and their guidance in the esports betting waters that are new to us. Given their leading uptime and number of live markets, we are certain we offer our bettors the best esports betting experience there is. We believe we have made the right choice and we are looking forward to the fruitful partnership for the years to come.
Marek Suchar, Managing Director and co-founder of Oddin.gg commented on the new partnership:
“We at Oddin.gg have reached another milestone! Esports in South East Asia has been mainstream for quite some time, where the status of esports pros is comparable to the status of other athletes. Yet, the legal environment for betting has been challenging, leaving opportunities for unregulated space to flourish. Through the partnership with CBV, we aspire to bring to Vietnam highly engaging esports betting alternative that will be regulatory-complaint and guarantee a high level of security for bettors. We hope we can set the right example and precedent for the other countries to follow in the upcoming years.
Oddin.gg is a world-leading B2B provider of iFrame solutions, esports odds feeds and risk management. It delivers the most engaging esports betting experience with industry-leading uptime and number of live markets. Oddin.gg maximizes its partners’ profitability as well by combining state-of-the-art technology, machine learning algorithms and advanced data science. The company features a team with more than 50 years of combined experience in esports and betting, and has successfully done business with the most complex global platforms. Recently, their application for a gaming license was officially accepted by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
Saigon-based CBV (Center of Betting Vietnam) is the first legal esports operator in Vietnam and holder of a provisional gambling license in the country. As esports betting in Southeast Asia is booming, CBV is strategically positioned to capitalize on the presented opportunities by putting, under one roof, the most experienced gambling and iGaming teams in the region.

PAGCOR Enforces Accreditation for All iGaming Service Providers by 2026
Reading Time: < 1 minute
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has given gaming affiliates, developers and support service providers until early 2026 to comply with its newly implemented B2B Accreditation Framework, a regulatory system that formalises participation in the iGaming supply chain.
Companies that submit applications by December 31, 2025, will qualify for a three-year initial accreditation, while unaccredited foreign content providers face removal from licensed platforms after March 31, 2026.
The framework, which took effect on October 2, sets mandatory accreditation requirements for all third-party entities providing gaming content, systems or technical support to PAGCOR-licensed operators.
Accreditation covers several categories, including gaming affiliates, game content providers (GCPs) and support service providers (SSPs). Gaming affiliates may act as aggregators that distribute multiple game titles to operators, while GCPs are developers or studios supplying electronic game software or live-streamed content.
Accreditation is valid for two years from the date of PAGCOR Board approval, an increase from the previous one-year term.
Foreign data or content streaming providers that fail to secure accreditation by the March 2026 deadline will have their content deemed “non-compliant and unauthorized.” They may appoint a Philippine-registered company or a PAGCOR-accredited Gaming System Administrator as their exclusive distributor instead of setting up a local office.
PAGCOR has warned that licensed operators using unaccredited service providers may face sanctions.
