SYNOT Games has announced that it has received the “Trusted Partner” certification from Tipico. This recognition reflects SYNOT’s unwavering commitment to compliance, ethical business practices and the support of a secure, fully regulated gaming environment.

Tipico’s “Trusted Partner” initiative recognises gaming content providers collaborating exclusively with licensed and regulated operators. These providers refuse to associate with black-market entities undermining consumer protection, tax compliance and the industry’s overall credibility.

“We are truly honored to be recognized as a ‘Trusted Partner’ by Tipico,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.

“At SYNOT, we are fully aligned with the industry’s broader objective to protect regulated markets, support legal operators, and build a sustainable, responsible future for gaming across jurisdictions.”

As a “Trusted Partner”, SYNOT reinforces its position as a preferred supplier for leading regulated operators by delivering games exclusively to licensed platforms that meet stringent regulatory standards, actively supporting initiatives that promote responsible gaming, transparency and fair play, and conducting regular due diligence to ensure that partners operate within compliant, legal frameworks.

By participating in Tipico’s “Trusted Partner” initiative, SYNOT reaffirms its mission to drive industry innovation while upholding the highest standards of integrity and compliance.

Waterhouse VC, an investment fund specialising in the technology layer of the global gambling industry, has secured an option in Maincard, a “Shopify of Online Betting” platform targeting the launch of fully customisable licensed online betting sites in under 30 minutes.

Maincard targets the $1 trillion iGaming market by replacing months of development work, cumbersome licensing and complex integrations with a subscription-style workflow. Crypto-native founders, influencers and digital communities can spin up branded betting sites, monetise their audiences and retain full upside ownership from day one.

“iGaming still suffers from high startup costs and significant technical and regulatory friction,” said Tom Waterhouse, Chief Investment Officer of Waterhouse VC. “We’re seeing strong potential in platforms that can streamline development, similar to how Shopify revolutionised e-commerce. The sector is ripe for innovation that allows new entrants to focus on player acquisition and retention rather than backend development.”

“Waterhouse VC’s deep domain knowledge and network will accelerate our go-to-market,” said Valerii Makovetskii, Founder and CEO of Maincard. “We’ve developed strong technical foundations with our crypto-friendly payments gateway already powering third-party casinos. The next step is to make launching a betting site as easy as launching an online storefront.”

The investment aligns with Waterhouse VC’s approach of identifying promising B2B technology companies serving the wagering industry and negotiating options to acquire stakes in these businesses.

Maincard platform vision:

•     Launch in <30 minutes — drag-and-drop, no code required
•     End-to-end compliance — licensing, KYC/AML, fraud, payments, customer support and marketing handled by Maincard
•     15,000+ casino games & 1,000+ sportsbook markets out of the box

Maincard is currently raising USD $3M to scale its sales team and launch multiple brands from the waiting list by the end of Q3 2025.
