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.

Kazakhstan Orders Telecom Providers to Block Illegal Online Casino Payments via Mobile Balances

Kazakhstan authorities have moved to tighten controls on illegal online gambling payments after uncovering schemes that use mobile phone balances to fund unlicensed casino activity.

The Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) issued instructions to telecom providers to strengthen monitoring and introduce systems to detect and block suspicious transactions.

According to the FMA, mobile operators including Tele2, Altel, Beeline, Kcell and Activ were called to a working meeting where regulators demonstrated how illicit payment flows to online casinos are being processed.

To verify the issue, the FMA carried out test purchases across 10 illegal online casino websites using services from all major mobile operators. The tests confirmed that payments via mobile balances were possible.

The agency stated that the goal is to cut off financial access to illegal operators and reduce public exposure to unregulated platforms. Further enforcement actions are expected as monitoring continues.

Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is preparing to significantly tighten rules on the promotion of illegal gambling. A group of senators is advancing an initiative to introduce criminal penalties for influencers who advertise online casinos and organise “giveaways.”

In related developments, a Kazakhstani influencer has recently been arrested in Vietnam on suspicion of running an illegal gambling operation.

Furthermore, the country is also restricting citizens’ access to legal gambling options, indicating a broader anti-gambling stance towards locals while still pursuing gambling tourism.

Lawmakers introduced rules restricting access to casinos, slot machine halls and betting venues in several regions to foreign nationals only. The changes will take effect on 17 May.

In March, President Tokayev signed a law establishing four new gambling zones for foreigners in the country.
