This certificate allows SoftGamings to offer its Platform to HGC-licensed operators. The platform provides turnkey and white label solutions, access to games from leading providers through a single integration, banking services, and more.

This achievement represents a significant milestone and reaffirms the success and value of SoftGamings’ collaborative efforts with its partners.

Greece had previously had a complicated relationship with gambling. They were once completely banned. Since 2011, after the adoption of law 4002/2011, online gambling has been allowed and regulated in the country.

The Greek gambling market is one of the most promising and attractive in Europe. Gambling licenses in Greece are now issued for 7 years and at a lower cost, making it an excellent opportunity for new companies to enter the market.

“The SoftGamings’ Platform will provide you with the best turnkey solutions for sports betting, as well as self-service. Greek B2C operators will receive the best gaming content, a flexible loyalty system, gamification and convenient payment systems. The certification of our platform according to HGC standards strengthens the SoftGamings’ position in the European market and sets the right benchmarks. We’re looking forward to new partnerships with Greek companies”, said Anna Lalina, Head of Partnerships at SoftGamings.

The Thai government is exploring the possibility of restricting gambling areas within entertainment complexes to no more than 5% of the total project space. This proposal was revealed by Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat, who also chairs the House committee responsible for evaluating the potential establishment of casino resorts in the country.

Amornvivat noted that the allocation of space for gaming activities within these entertainment complexes would be determined based on input from various governmental entities involved in a project.

Last month, Thailand’s cabinet approved a report from the National Assembly committee that examined the feasibility of introducing casino resorts in the country. The Ministry of Finance was tasked with conducting a 30-day study to assess the viability of implementing such a policy.

Each proposed venue would require a minimum investment of THB100 billion ($2.75 billion), according to the committee report. Amornvivat recently requested a two-week extension for the study period to further evaluate the matter in collaboration with 16 other government agencies.

The special House committee’s study focused on three main areas. First, it examined the potential impacts of introducing entertainment complexes with casinos on various aspects of Thai society, including economics, politics, social dynamics and the environment.

Second, the committee analysed the business framework of integrated entertainment venues, exploring revenue generation mechanisms such as taxes, fees and licensing structures. It recommended the implementation of specific casino taxes and the establishment of a fund aimed at addressing the negative effects of gambling activities.

Last, the report highlighted the importance of conducting a comprehensive review of the legal framework governing entertainment venues and gambling laws in Thailand. This effort aims to update existing legislation or develop new laws that align with the evolving societal landscape.
