Swifty Global’s New Innovative B2B Gaming Platform Undergoes GLI Certification
Dear Cashmere Holding Company also known as Swifty Global (Swifty), is a cutting-edge technology firm focused on creating ground-breaking solutions in the sports betting sector. Swifty aims to drive shareholder value through accelerated innovation and enhanced usability of the products it develops. With licenses spanning several global jurisdictions, Swifty has successfully brought to market a revolutionary suite of offerings. This includes the company’s proprietary swipe betting sports prediction application, as well as its traditional sportsbook and casino gaming platform.
Swifty Global is pleased to announce that it has started the certification process for its new innovative B2B gaming platform with Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), the gaming industry’s gold standard for testing and certification. Once fully certified, this endorsement will not only affirm Swifty’s ongoing commitment to the highest industry and regulatory standards, but will also underscore the continued exceptional quality of the company’s technology offering.
The newly developed B2B platform sits at the center of the Swifty Global scaling and growth strategy and will unlock a substantial new revenue stream for the business. The platform will operate on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) basis, combining a monthly subscription model with a revenue-sharing component and will enable Swifty clients to seamlessly integrate with the company’s state-of-the-art technology via a white-label solution.
‘‘Initiating the process for GLI certification marks a significant milestone for Swifty,’’ commented James Gibbons, CEO of Swifty Global. ‘‘While we’re at the beginning of this certification process for our B2B platform, reaching this stage not only marks the culmination of over a year’s rigorous development of the platform, but it also sets the stage for the next phase of our growth strategy. By securing the GLI endorsement, it will effectively certify our B2B platform readiness for deployment across the majority of European markets and with this in mind we have already taken proactive steps to comply with regulatory standards in key European markets in addition to Gibraltar, Isle of Man, and South Africa,” added Gibbons.
In line with this, Swifty is actively pursuing certification under South Africa’s SANS 1718 standard. Established by South Africa’s gambling regulator, this standard is a crucial step before the platform’s introduction and official launch in the South African market. ‘‘The Swifty team are working tirelessly behind the scenes in order to secure this license before the close of Q4 2023. I am confident this will be achieved and once accomplished, it will mark the expansion of Swifty Global into the lucrative $1.8 billion South African gambling sector,’’ said Gibbons.
Swifty Global anticipates a substantial increase in revenue generation over the next 6 months. This surge in revenue is expected to result from the ongoing international expansion of the company, as well as the introduction of its new B2B offering and the innovative business model through which this will be delivered to customers.
‘‘Swifty is now entering an exciting new phase where the groundwork and technological development of the new B2B platform, which has been underway behind the scenes for the last 12 months, is ready to take center stage,’’ commented Gibbons. ‘‘The introduction of this platform and the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model heralds a new era for Swifty, introducing a recurring fee model that targets a fresh set of customers. This approach not only ensures a more predictable and sustainable revenue stream but also enhances our existing revenue model. I have no doubt that this will substantially boost our already impressive revenue and increase the company’s attractiveness even further from an investor perspective,” concluded Gibbons.
The Swedish Gambling Authority has reviewed how licensees comply with the requirements for information that must be available in bingo halls.
In its review, the Swedish Gambling Authority has checked whether the licensee complies with the information responsibility in bingo halls. Among other things, the licensee’s contact details and gaming responsibility information must be easily accessible.
The Swedish regulator has found information deficiencies in two bingo halls: Idrottens Bingo in Linköping and Bingoringen in Karlskoga. The Spelinspektionen has also alerted the Swedish Bingo Association regarding the information deficiencies at these two bingo venues.

The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has allocated funding to five new strategic projects dedicated to preventing and reducing gambling-related harm.
Gambling harm can have major consequences for the individuals themselves, their environment and society as a whole. Research shows that 20% of Dutch people who gamble are at moderate or high risk of gambling addiction. By focusing on prevention, early detection and support, problems can be prevented from developing into serious debt, addiction or mental health issues. The projects are being carried out by the Anonymous Gamblers Foundation and the Gamblers’ Environment Foundation, the Dutch Association for Psychiatry, the Trimbos Institute and the Naast Foundation.
With a grant from the Addiction Prevention Fund, the Anonymous Gamblers and Gamblers’ Environment (AGOG) foundation can train new group facilitators and invest in professional development. In addition, AGOG is exploring the possibilities for digital peer support meetings. This could offer a solution in regions where there are no physical AGOG groups yet, or for people who are unable to attend meetings on location.
The Dutch Association for Psychiatry (NVvP) is receiving funding from the Addiction Prevention Fund for the development of a guideline for the treatment of gambling and gaming addiction. NVvP guidelines contain recommendations for the medical practice of healthcare professionals. This new guideline follows up on one of the recommendations of the National Rapporteur on Addictions (NRV) from the report “Gambling with Health”.
The Trimbos Institute has launched two pilots exploring the theme of gambling, also funded by the Addiction Prevention Fund. The Growing Up in a Promising Environment (OKO) programme is exploring whether it can contribute to preventing gambling behavior among young people. To this end, a literature review is being conducted, monitoring data analysed, appropriate interventions sought and discussions held with municipalities and local partners. Additionally, within the alcohol, drug and medication policy, it is being explored how employers can prevent gambling behavior in the workplace and how they can better refer employees with emerging problems to help.
Stichting Naast receives a subsidy to provide webinars, individual counseling, and newsletters for loved ones of people with a gambling addiction. On helpmijndierbareisverslaafd.nl, they publish additional information about gambling-related harm. This aligns with the OpenOverGokken.nl platformme. The goal is to effectively connect the information and helplines of Stichting Naast and OpenOverGokken, ensuring clear referrals between them. This creates a recognisable pathway for loved ones seeking help, advice or a listening ear.
Through the funding of these projects, the KSA, together with partners, focuses on early detection, prevention, improved care and support for gamblers and their loved ones. In doing so, work is being done simultaneously on multiple fronts to prevent gambling harm and limit its consequences. The resources for the aforementioned projects come from the Addiction Prevention Fund (VPF). Managed by the KSA since 2021, this fund is financed via an additional gambling levy for providers of high-risk gambling.

Arizona Department of Gaming Launches On-Demand Responsible Gaming Training
The Arizona Department of Gaming has announced the release of its Responsible Gaming Training initiative, consisting of free, self-paced training in responsible gaming foundations. Training participants will learn the fundamentals of risks associated with gambling, including problem gambling, how problem gambling differs from positive play, and how to connect with others in the context of addressing problem gambling.
“Offering this responsible gaming training is about increasing knowledge, confidence, and skills that make a tremendous difference in improving the conversations and interactions we may encounter day-to-day. I’m excited to share information and resources about responsible gaming that promote a safer, more sustainable gaming environment – and I look forward to briefing community members on how to make this training work for them,” said Jessica Roza, Assistant Director of Government and Community Affairs.
To provide members of the media, stakeholders, and Arizonans the opportunity to become familiar with the newly released training resource, the Department invites all interested individuals to a live, virtual webinar on April 28, 2026, at 10am Arizona Time, hosted by Jessica Roza.
Responsible gaming is about ensuring that individuals who choose to play have the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment. It emphasizes safety and prevention by sharing the risks associated with gambling, encouraging healthy play behaviors, and raising awareness of the treatment resources and support available for gambling disorder, which impacts three to four percent of Arizonans 21 and older. Gambling can take many forms, such as lottery, casino gaming, sports betting, bingo, raffles, office pools, and poker.
The training is organized into three self-paced phases, with optional continued learning quizzes at the end of each phase and a total of about three hours of content (depending on the trainee). Students may pause the training at any point and resume it later.
“For many years, responsible gaming training has served as a cornerstone of education for gaming industry employees, strengthening safety and promoting responsible entertainment across the state. Today, we’re excited to expand that impact by offering an on-demand training designed for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of responsible gaming—including those who may not currently participate in gambling, or work in the industry. This broader approach reflects our commitment to the Arizonans we serve,” Jessica Roza added.
The April 28 virtual briefing will preview the training resource, allow for audience question-and-answer, and conclude with actionable next steps for individuals to further the health and safety of their community.
