Videoslots joins the International Betting Integrity Association
Videoslots’ sportsbook will now be part of a unique global monitoring and alert system after the operator became a member of the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA).
It joins many of the world’s leading sports betting operators in the association, whose members account for around $137bn (€115bn) of global betting turnover per annum and nearly 50% of all regulated commercial operator online betting activity.
Videoslots, which currently has licences to operate in the UK, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Denmark and Malta, launched its sportsbook using its own proprietary software in June 2021.
Martin Calleja, Head of Sports at Videoslots, said: “Maintaining the integrity of our betting products is of paramount importance to Videoslots and we recognise the considerable business benefits from joining a globally recognised integrity body like the IBIA.
“The association’s network and representation of regulated betting operators provides the perfect partner to bolster our business protection protocols and to identify and punish betting related corruption.”
Khalid Ali, IBIA’s CEO, said: “I’m delighted to welcome another international betting operator into the IBIA. Videoslots’ membership reinforces our position as the leading customer account-based betting integrity monitoring and alert system in the world.
“The association looks forward to working closely with Videoslots to protect its betting products and customers from corrupt betting activity.”
The International Betting Integrity Association is the leading global voice on integrity for the licensed betting industry. It is run by operators for operators, protecting its members from corruption through collective action.
Its monitoring and alert platform is a highly effective anti-corruption tool that detects and reports suspicious activity on its members’ betting markets.
The association has longstanding information sharing partnerships with leading sports and gambling regulators to utilise its data and prosecute corruption. It represents the sector at high-level policy discussion forums such as the IOC, UN, Council of Europe and European Commission.

Businesses can now obtain licenses for organising and conducting gambling activities online through the Diia portal, without paper documents or in-person interaction with the state, according to a statement by PlayCity, the state agency regulating Ukraine’s gambling and lottery market.
According to the release, applications can be generated in the Diia electronic cabinet and signed using a qualified electronic signature (QES). Some data will be automatically retrieved from state registries, including information about the company, its owners and beneficiaries.
PlayCity will review submitted applications, and applicants will receive decisions on license issuance or refusal online via Diia.
Companies will be able to apply for licenses covering casino operations, bookmaking, slot machine halls, online poker, as well as B2B services in the gambling sector.
Acting Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Borniakov said on Telegram that the ministry, together with PlayCity, has also prepared amendments to sector-specific legislation aimed at strengthening entry checks for companies in terms of reputation, integrity, ownership structure and absence of ties to the aggressor state.
“Our goal is to create a transparent and controlled market in which digital tools ensure both convenience for businesses and trust in the state,” Borniakov said.

Amusnet is entering the North American market after securing a Gaming-Related Supplier–Manufacturer Registration from the AGCO in Ontario, Canada, marking a strategic milestone in the group’s global expansion.
Licensing grants Amusnet access to Ontario’s regulated iGaming market, which is one of the most established and fast-growing jurisdictions in North America, known for its robust regulatory framework and strong long-term growth potential.
It will allow the supplier to offer online gaming content to licensed operators in the province, officially establishing its presence in the region. Amusnet will initially roll out its iGaming portfolio, with the option to expand into Land-based solutions at a later stage.
Ontario’s regulatory framework emphasises strict compliance, ensuring that all suppliers adhere to high standards in technology, security and player protection. This makes Ontario a key benchmark market for companies entering North America. The new registration further confirms that Amusnet has successfully met these rigorous requirements for integrity and regulatory compliance, enabling it to distribute its content across the province.
“Securing the AGCO licence is an important milestone for Amusnet and reflects our long-term commitment to operating in fully regulated markets. Our entry into Ontario represents a key strategic step into North America, which is a high-priority region with strong long-term growth potential. We look forward to partnering with local operators and building a sustainable presence in the market,” said Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Amusnet.
