nanocosmos at Sigma Asia: Expanded reach for nanoStream Cloud to deliver high-quality interactive streaming of live games and bets in Asia
nanocosmos, a leading real-time video streaming provider, proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary with a head start for the growing live gaming and betting market in Asia. Recognizing the surging demand for high-quality, secure, and accessible live games in Asia, nanocosmos has unveiled a range of new features on its unique platform, nanoStream Cloud. New features are specifically tailored to meet the region’s requirements for gaming platform providers: Local support, new server locations and improved technology for better accessibility in remote regions have been added for increased coverage in Asia. Moreover, nanocosmos has implemented additional security features to safeguard live streams with ease and effectiveness, aiming at the highest possible quality of experience for the end users.
In addition, providers of live games and bets in Asia can benefit from nanoStream Cloud’s recent validations from the professional video broadcast industry: nanoStream Cloud received the “SRT Plugged” Badge for the successful implementation and test of the SRT protocol by more than 15 independent vendors of the video industry. This targets optimized stream quality and stability for global distribution for all areas including bad network situations, and it can be used next to other protocols like WHIP and RTMP.
Addressing the growing demand for stream protection and reliable service, nanocosmos has introduced nanoStream Guardian, an innovative solution that extends stream protection capabilities. In addition to simplified token-based access (JWT) and stream protection via webhooks, clients can now shield streams from unauthorized access through a straightforward principle: monitor activities, assess suspicious behavior, and proactively block identified threats.
nanocosmos offers an end-to-end solution designed to empower platform providers and elevate their business with high-quality streaming. Leveraging the integrated features dedicated to Quality of Service and Quality of Experience and based on ultra-low latency, providers can enjoy 100% uptime ensured by a robust and reliable Content Delivery Network (CDN), browser-based player, advanced analytics, and round-the-clock service and stream protection.
Chris Strijbosch, SVP business development, says “We are proudly bringing 25 years of expertise to the growing iGaming and betting markets with a client-focussed approach. Our real-time streaming platform covers key requirements such as secure streaming, adaptive bitrate for seamless experience even in remote areas and dedicated local support in Chinese and English. This is an expansion that underlines our commitment to providing cutting-edge interactive live streaming.”
To showcase their unique real-time streaming platform and API, nanoStream Cloud, with its enhanced features, nanocosmos will be present at booth BR15 during Sigma Asia. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand how nanocosmos is revolutionizing live video streaming for the Asian market.

Uzbekistan Introduces Penalties for Illegal Gambling Operations

Uzbekistan has introduced strict penalties for illegal gambling operations as the country prepares to launch its regulated betting market on October 9, 2025.
The new penalties target both domestic and foreign operators offering gambling services without a license. The new rules authorise fines indexed to the Uzbek Base Calculation Unit (BRV), a fiscal benchmark used for administrative penalties.
Foreign firms face fines of up to 25,000 Base Calculation Units, around US$882,000. Authorities can also seize illegal earnings, block access to banking and internet services, and ban repeat offenders from the Uzbek financial system. Unauthorised physical casinos, betting shops and mobile terminals will face the same sanctions.
Violations of anti-money laundering rules or personal data misuse carry fines of 15,000 BRV (about US$529,200), and unlicensed deposit-taking could result in penalties of up to US$352,900.
The changes were drafted by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP), which is overseeing the rollout of Uzbekistan’s new gambling law. NAPP will act as the interim regulator until a permanent authority is established.
Licensed operators must meet strict financial requirements. Online gambling firms need authorised capital of $4.57 million and a $2.05 million reserve fund. Lottery providers must show at least $1.64 million in capital and $1.11 million in reserves.
“This is not a pay-to-play regime. It’s a compliance-first market that will reward transparency and capital discipline,” NAPP has clarified in communications with potential applicants.
Gambling has been banned in Uzbekistan since 2007, except for limited state-run lotteries. The new system marks a shift from prohibition to strict regulation. A centralised system, the Unified State Register of Bets and Players (USRBP), will track all wagers and enforce ID checks and monthly betting limits.
Sanctions will be issued by NAPP’s director after internal review. Offending companies will have 15 days to appeal through NAPP or the courts. Half of all fines will go to the state budget; the rest will fund regulatory operations. Paying fines does not shield companies from further legal action.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved the new framework in 2024, requiring that gambling revenue be used to fund national sports programmes. Licensing guidelines will be released soon, with applications opening before the October launch.

NODWIN Gaming Partners with Sony LIV for Streaming Rights of Esports World Cup 2025

NODWIN Gaming, South Asia’s leading esports and gaming company, has announced that Sony LIV has acquired the Hindi and English language media rights for select matches of the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025, further amplifying the tournament’s reach and representation across India.

In addition, Sony LIV will also stream the weekly shows, behind-the-scenes features and player interactions spotlighting EWC athletes and teams, curated for both core and casual esports audiences. This collaboration follows NODWIN Gaming’s recent partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) to manage media rights and regional distribution across South Asia.
Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming, said: “Our goal is to bring the Esports World Cup to as many passionate fans across South Asia as possible, and this partnership with Sony LIV is a major step in that direction.

With the addition of Sony LIV as the exclusive Hindi broadcast partner and NODWIN Gaming as the strategic regional media and marketing partner, the EWC is poised to reach unprecedented heights in South Asia.

With top-tier Indian talent competing across multiple titles, the Esports World Cup 2025 presents a unique opportunity to showcase India’s growing presence in global esports and to unite audiences around a shared national dream.
