Casino Guru is proud to announce the commencement of the third stage of the Self-exclusion Standards project, an initiative led by Dr Margaret Carran, Associate Professor in Law and Associate Dean (Education) at the at The City Law School of City, University of London and sponsored by Casino Guru.
The Self-exclusion Standards project aims to identify the best practice in online gambling self-exclusion in order to help maximise the level of player protection and to help build a robust process of self-exclusion to enable such schemes to truly become an effective barrier between players who struggle with controlling their gambling habits and online gambling in general.
To arrive at a solution, the Self-exclusion Standards project embarked on a comprehensive journey, that fostered cooperation with international stakeholders to create a set of online self-exclusion recommendations that will be available for adoption across different jurisdictions. Previous stages included comprehensive research of existing evidence and a series of meetings of 10 international stakeholders with diverse expertise and experience with online self-exclusion.  To this end, the Self-exclusion Standards project is now entering its final stage, where it will explicitly seek broader consultations with online gambling stakeholders.
Dr.  Carran said of the final stage of the project: “Our draft set of recommendations is based on extensive deliberations of international experts and we believe that it presents the most optimal online self-exclusion code of practice for operators. We now need external feedback to drive inclusion, to gain broader input from all interested stakeholders, including international regulators and the industry to ensure that our final recommendations  could indeed be adopted globally for the benefit of players and the industry alike”. 
Ultimately, the project will culminate in a comprehensive paper consisting of the final Code for Online Self-Exclusion Practice that will be publicly available so it can serve as a reference point for the industry and other interested parties. The paper will assist in driving further research in this field, and will also serve as a stepping-stone for broader discussion about self-exclusion processes, and how existing practices can be re-examined and reinvented.
This final stage seeks broader collaboration specifically to obtain valuable and actionable feedback that can be leveraged to provide quality conclusions that help establish a robust set of recommendations, and that are based on the broader knowledge of the industry. 
This external feedback will help streamline the project’s efforts as it seeks to position itself firmly in the heart of industry as an efficient and effective tool. Consultation is open from now through to September 10, 2024. Preliminary findings will be presented at the EASG Conference 2024 and the final code due to be ready in January 2025.
Šimon Vincze, Casino Guru’s Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead, noted: “We want to engage the broader industry to increase the impact and benefits of the project. A lot of good work stays on paper or in journals without usage in the real world. We want to change it by actively engaging with the industry.

E-Service steps up UK distribution of ITL MyCheckr age estimation tech

ITL says uptake is being driven by retail and amusement events and discussions with regional police forces.

E-Service is increasing UK distribution of Innovative Technology’s (ITL) age estimation and access control products, with the companies pointing to growing demand for ITL’s MyCheckr device.

The partnership between ITL and E-Service dates back to 2004, with E-Service operating as ITL’s UK Trading Partner and Approved Service Centre. ITL said the current momentum is “mainly driven by an uptake of Innovative’s MyCheckr age estimation technology.”

Andy Bullock, Senior Business Development Manager for ITL, said, “E-Service are really flying the flag for our MyCheckr device representing the brand at various UK events. The technology has become a real talking point following our recent presence at the National Convenience Show (NCS) in Birmingham and The Amusement & Retail Entertainment (ARE) in Manchester, and earlier EAG shows in London. We have jointly attended a number of regional BACTA meetings recently introducing the capabilities of MyCheckr to the gaming sector to help with compliance and player protection and we are delighted with the feedback and potential opportunities that have arisen. Plus we are in talks with regional police forces about using MyCheckr to help local convenience stores avoid fines or potential closure for selling age-restricted products to minors.”

Bullock added, “Our age verification technology is simple to operate and install. MyCheckr can be easily placed at any 18+ entrance or our other age estimation device, ICU Lite, can be fully integrated into gaming or SCO machines using a simple API. To help operators manage access we have developed MyConnect which sends alerts to staff via an app to notify them of a potential underage play or self-excluded entry which can be remotely granted or denied.”

Paul Scott, Sales Director at E-Service, said, “It’s been a pleasure working with ITL over the past years. Our relationship has always been strong, and we’ve successfully distributed their leading note validation and recycling products including the NV9 Spectral, Spectral Payout and NV22 Spectral throughout the market for several years now. ITL’s expansion into age assurance technology represents a really exciting time for us as we are delighted to be part of this journey.”

Paysafe is live on Primer’s Primer for Partners program and is already processing transactions for merchants across North America, Europe and Australasia.

Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE) has integrated with Primer, connecting to the payment orchestration platform via Primer’s no-code Primer for Partners program to provide card payment processing for online merchants using Primer globally.

The companies said the integration allows merchants on Primer to route credit and debit card transactions to Paysafe as a payment service provider. Paysafe said it is already processing payments through Primer for merchants with a presence across North America, Europe and Australasia.

Paysafe said it tailored the integration to support international merchants across industries including iGaming, social gaming, financial trading, eCommerce and travel. Primer for Partners, which Primer launched in December 2025, allowed Paysafe’s tech team to manage the integration “without the need for any coding,” according to the companies.

Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Primer, whose Primer for Partners solution empowered Paysafe to develop a bespoke integration, streamlining the payment journey for Primer’s merchant partners and their customers. We look forward to strengthening our offering within the Primer infrastructure and growing our presence across the broader payment orchestration space.”

Gabriel Le Roux, CEO and Co-founder of Primer, commented: “Paysafe joining Primer for Partners is exactly what this solution was built for. The company came to us, built its own integration from the ground up, and Paysafe is already live and processing payments for our merchants. That’s the paradigm shift we set out to create. For our merchants, having Paysafe accessible through Primer means more choice, better coverage, and faster access to a payment provider that’s been optimizing card performance for decades.”

Paysafe said it plans to expand the integration over time, including adding local payment methods such as Skrill and Neteller, plus PaysafeCard and PaysafeCash.

MyCheckr is their latest innovation – a simple to use hardware device which provides anonymous age checks and secure access control.

E-Service joined ITL’s network of supplier partners over 20 years ago and are a long-standing distributor of their cash validation equipment. They more recently have started to support the company’s AI technology range and also gained Approved Service Centre status last year.
