Making its debut at SIGMA Asia 2024 in Manila, ProgressPlay aims to captivate attendees with its innovative offerings showcased at stand BR917.
With ProgressPlay’s new standalone product, partners are able to market all markets.
SIGMA Asia, slated to run from June 3rd to 5th at Manila’s esteemed SMX Convention Centre, has already generated immense anticipation within the industry. With a diverse array of top-tier B2B and B2C exhibitors, including ProgressPlay, the event promises to be an unrivaled gaming hub, expected to attract over 20,000 delegates.
The Asian iGaming industry is experiencing exponential growth, fueled by technological advancements and a surge in demand for online gaming experiences. With the widespread adoption of mobile devices and digital payment methods, coupled with the popularity of online gaming, the sector presents lucrative opportunities for gaming entrepreneurs seeking to establish their presence across the continent, starting with a standalone solution.
Marina Nahhas, Sales and Marketing Manager at ProgressPlay said: “We are super excited making our debut at SIGMA Asia with our latest products. Our standalone product has huge potential for local markets and the exhibition gives us an excellent opportunity to present it to a large number of potential new customers.”
ProgressPlay’s standalone licensee offering made its debut at ICE back in January, and in this arrangement ProgressPlay serves as the technology provider while partners take charge of all their own operations.
ProgressPlay’s platform has been meticulously developed over the years, boasting a team of top-notch professionals dedicated to serving regulated markets including the UK. The platform is fully equipped to meet all the diverse requirements, many of which are proprietary services developed in-house.
Notably, ProgressPlay’s platform boasts proprietary AI capabilities for safer gambling shortlisted in the EGR Awards, setting it apart in the industry. Moreover, the platform offers unparalleled flexibility, enabling operators to tailor their offerings to specific regions and regulatory requirements. Through a strategic joint venture with a reputable cashier, ProgressPlay facilitates seamless integration of various payment methods, catering to the diverse needs of its partners.
ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said:“The biggest advantage of the standalone platform is that it enables operators to have a much wider selection of countries and regulatory territories to choose from based on the licenses they hold and the built-in proprietary cashier that is easily adapted to the relevant markets and payment processors. An additional advantage for operators is the ability to create brands under the standalone platform, which is especially helpful in generating healthy ROI in Asian markets which we will be showcasing on stand BR917 at SiGMA Asia.”

Enforcement Directorate of India Issues Fresh Summons to Meta, Google in Online Betting Probe

Executives of tech giants Meta and Google did not depose before the Enforcement Directorate of India (ED) on Monday and have now been given fresh summons for July 28 in a money laundering case linked to promotion of illegal online betting and gambling platforms.
The representatives of the two companies sought deferment of the July 21 summons, saying they need time to collect relevant information and documents before they present themselves for questioning and recording of their statements at the federal probe agency.
The executives have been given a one-week extension and asked to depose on July 28. Once they depose, their statements will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
A Google spokesperson said that the company was “committed to keeping our platforms safe and secure, prohibiting the promotion of illegal gambling ads.”
“We are extending our full support and cooperation to investigating agencies to hold bad actors responsible and keep users safe,” the spokesperson said.
There was no response from Meta.
The federal agency is probing several platforms allegedly hosting illegal betting and gambling links, including instances of advertisements placed for them on various social media outlets and app stores.
The tech giants are understood to have been called by the ED to know how such illegal platforms can place ads on their portals.
Some actors, celebrities and sports persons are also under the scanner of the agency in these cases, and are expected to depose.
The ED has claimed illegal online betting and gambling platforms cheated people of their hard-earned money, and also laundered and evaded paying taxes of up to several crores of rupees.
Google said its “continuous AI advancements, complemented by human expertise, ensure all ads on our surfaces comply with local laws and our strict ad policies, and protect users from evolving threats.”
“Last year alone, we removed 247.4 million ads and suspended 2.9 million advertiser accounts in India,” the firm said.
The ED is investigating more than a dozen cases linked to illegal gambling and betting platforms across the country, including the Mahadev Online Book (MOB) app, whose main promoters hail from Chhattisgarh.
