ComplianceOne Group has become a member of the Netherlands Online Gambling Association (NOGA), in a move that underlines the compliance provider’s commitment to the Dutch market.

NOGA represents the interests of the online gambling industry in the Netherlands, bringing together regulated operators, suppliers and other stakeholders to create an attractive and safe market in the country. It counts the likes of Flutter, Entain, Kindred Group and bet365 among its members.

Compliance One Group opened a dedicated Dutch office in January 2022, and has quickly become the compliance supplier of choice for both operators and providers looking to expand into the country. Last year, its regulatory and operational compliance firm Diligence in Gaming agreed a wide-ranging partnership that saw it help operator Smart Gaming launch its betnation.nl brand.

Mike de Graaff, Head of Regulatory Services & Assurance at Diligence in Gaming – a ComplianceOne Group company, said: “Joining the Netherlands Online Gambling Association is an important milestone for ComplianceOne Group as we look to further support our partners in the Netherlands. With the Dutch regulatory landscape continuing to evolve, membership of NOGA helps us better serve the operators and suppliers finding exciting new opportunities in the market.”

Peter-Paul de Goeij, Managing Director at NOGA, said: “Building a thriving, safe and sustainable Dutch online gambling market requires world-class compliance know-how, so I’m thrilled to welcome ComplianceOne Group to NOGA. The Group’s expertise across both regulatory and technical compliance will be an important asset for our members.”

Earlier this year, de Graaff warned of the challenges facing operators following the Dutch Gaming Authority’s update on its ongoing investigation into the duty of care operators provide to players.

“Having worked with many licensed operators in the Netherlands since the framework went live in October 2021, the message I most often repeat is a simple one: treating regulation as a box ticking exercise won’t cut it,” he said at the time.

SoftConstruct unveils RecSys AI game recommendation system at AIBC Eurasia

In an iGaming Real Talk interview in Dubai, the firm says the tool reads player emotion and context to guide operator actions.

SoftConstruct AI has unveiled RecSys, an AI Game Recommendation System, during an exclusive iGaming Real Talk interview recorded at AIBC Eurasia in Dubai on Thursday 30th April.

Mushegh Khachatryan, Chief AI Officer at SoftConstruct AI, said RecSys is designed to move beyond traditional recommendation models by interpreting player emotions in real time and accounting for context, with the goal of suggesting “the next best action” for operators. “You can understand your customer’s emotions in real time and suggest the next best action. We are building intelligent systems which can reason and act.”

Khachatryan said SoftConstruct built an AI Center of Excellence by hiring talent from outside the iGaming sector, and described RecSys as part of “production-ready agentic AI” intended to support personalised campaigns and decision automation. Surya Palli, host of iGaming Real Talk, said: “SoftConstruct is essentially building a Netflix-style personalised experience for the iGaming industry, where every player gets a lobby made just for them.”

Responsible gaming was also discussed, with the company claiming AI can detect risky behaviour faster and more consistently than human teams, and recommend timely breaks while balancing player protection with sustainable growth.

Khachatryan also stressed the need for explainable, controlled deployment. “AI should help teams perform five times better rather than replace them… Without proper boundaries, short-term momentum boosts with AI can actually hurt your company in the long term.” The company said operators can manage campaigns, personalisation and risk through chat interfaces, with at least 85% accuracy “from the first interactions,” and directed viewers to the full interview on the iGaming Real Talk YouTube channel.
