Kalamba Games set for further growth with ISO/IEC 27001 certification

Kalamba Games has received a significant boost to its growth ambitions following the award of an ISO/IEC 27001 certification for its information security management system.
Key to going live in many regulated jurisdictions, Kalamba’s internal processes were rigorously tested against the standard’s strict assessment criteria to receive its accreditation, ensuring it met the 100+ controls and clauses required over a nine-month period.
Senior management as well as all Kalamba’s operations and controls are now fully compliant with the data protection practices and procedures set by the International Organisation for Standardisation and the International Electrotechnical Commission.
The supplier can now demonstrate that its operator partners’ sensitive data is stringently safeguarded to the same high standards as the products it provides them with.
The standard is a prerequisite to holding licences and conducting business across the world and opens up further new territories, a core element of Kalmaba’s growth strategy.
Andrew Crosby, Chief Commercial Officer at Kalamba Games, said: “Earning the ISO/IEC 27001 award is a milestone for us as a company. It illustrates our commitment to quality and integrity and is essential as we continue to expand globally.
“We can now look forward to planning new market entries secure in the knowledge that our compliance credentials continue to be exemplary.”

MGCB Targets 11 Illegal Online Casinos Operating Without Licenses

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist orders to 11 illegal online gambling operators found to be targeting Michigan residents without proper state authorization. These unlicensed casinos—some based offshore, others operating from undisclosed or domestic locations—pose serious risks to consumers by skirting Michigan’s regulated gaming laws.
The casinos named in the enforcement action include the following:
Club Player Casino
7 Bets Casino
NinBet Casino
Cherry Jackpot Casino
PitBet
SlotsNBets
Bookmaker.eu
Wild Vegas Casino
VIP Slots Casino
Prism Casino
ABC Islands Casino
“These sites are operating illegally and without proper oversight, putting Michigan players at risk. We’re committed to shutting down unlicensed gambling operations and protecting the public from deceptive practices, unfair play, and financial harm,” said Henry Williams, Executive Director of the Michigan Gaming Control Board.
The named operators have been found to accept wagers from Michigan residents via a range of payment methods—including credit cards, digital wallets, and cryptocurrencies. Players may be subjected to questionable practices, such as the withholding of winnings, unrealistic wagering requirements, and denial of withdrawals.
In addition to financial concerns, these illegal operators are not required to follow the same rigorous data protection standards that are mandated in Michigan’s regulated market. As a result, players’ personal and financial information may be highly vulnerable when shared with these unlicensed platforms, increasing the risk of data breaches, identity theft, and other cybercrimes.
The MGCB has formally notified all 11 operators to immediately stop offering gambling services to Michigan residents. They have been given 14 days to comply. Continued violations may result in further enforcement, including collaboration with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office to pursue legal action.
“This should serve as a strong warning to illegal operators: Michigan does not tolerate unauthorized gambling activity. We will continue our relentless pursuit of actively identifying and disrupting these operations,” Williams said.
“We want every patron in Michigan to have access to a fair and secure gambling experience. By eliminating illegal operators, we’re helping ensure the public can enjoy gaming without fear of fraud or abuse,” Williams added.
