SolutionsHub supports Enjoy Gaming in successful Isle of Man Software Supplier Licence approval
Innovative live casino studio Enjoy Gaming have successfully secured the prestigious Isle of Man Software Supplier Licence, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth.
Enjoy Gaming utilised the expertise of renowned Island-based eGaming consultancy SolutionsHub, to assist with the application process, helping them secure their B2B licence.
Head of Operations at SolutionsHub, James O’Kelly said “we’re incredibly proud to have facilitated the successful licence application for Enjoy Gaming. They’re an innovative business providing an excellent product and have really exciting plans, so they were an ideal fit for SolutionsHub from the start. Now that they have their Isle of Man licence, we’re looking forward to seeing the business grow from here and to help them achieve success.”
What makes Enjoy Gaming so innovative is the introduction of a fresh new live casino experience. Their first offering, Kyiv Pros Roulette uses RNG and pre-recorded video, providing simultaneous gameplay and live results for players. Unlike traditional live roulette tables, where players make quick decisions and then have a lengthy wait for the outcome, this approach offers the rhythm and speed of auto-roulette combined with the premium experience of professional live dealers.
Having professional live dealers in an elegant, stylish setting allows players to immerse themselves in an exclusive, luxury personal casino experience. Along with the faster pace of the game rounds, players remain engaged.
Recognising the importance of adopting an omni-channel approach, particularly for operators looking to engage players across a range of different markets, Enjoy Gaming have optimised their games so that they work seamlessly with all devices including desktop, mobile and tablet.
Enjoy Gaming’s story is unique, having faced significant upheaval in their homeland, they were forced to redirect their efforts. With their team of Ukrainian developers, designers, cinema crew and casino dealers, their pre-recorded online roulette was born. Having seen significant early growth already, the successful acquisition of an Isle of Man Software Supplier Licence is a landmark achievement for the rapidly growing studio.
Looking to the future, the company has big plans to both elevate their existing content as well as expanding their portfolio. Enjoy Gaming Director Steven Welsh said “we’ll be introducing additional features like multipliers to our existing games to enhance the experience for players. We’re also focused on developing a new Game Shows category to deliver even more entertainment and excitement, as well as true 24/7 live broadcasting to make content even more interactive.”
The Isle of Man has seen a marked increase in software suppliers opting for the credibility that licensing in the offshore jurisdiction provides, with many of the industry’s leading names now making it a prerequisite to do business. Steven went on; “obtaining the recognition of an Isle of Man license gives us a platform to build from and will allow us to develop strategic partnerships and develop new business opportunities.”
As a leading authority in the licensing and maintenance of iGaming businesses in the Isle of Man, SolutionsHub have been instrumental in supporting operators and B2B with successful licence applications. Given the shift towards greater transparency and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards being seen across the industry, the future looks bright for the Isle of Man.

Czech Financial Administration Prevent Tax Evasion in Gambling Sector Amounting to CZK 540M
The Czech Financial Administration has successfully prevented tax evasion in the gambling sector amounting to CZK 540m.
Through a specialized financial department, authorities identified discrepancies in financial flows within casinos and gambling operators for the years 2021 and 2022. The findings were made public in a press release.
The tax evasion was uncovered through a detailed analysis of gaming data, which revealed unusual player behaviour and suspicious financial transactions. During an inspection of a gambling operator, the authorities detected irregularities that led to an additional tax assessment of CZK 340m. The audit further uncovered errors in the reporting of fees and commissions, resulting in an extra tax obligation of CZK 200m.
“Gambling is a highly regulated sector with significant tax revenues, which is why it is crucial for us to systematically minimize opportunities for illegal practices. This achievement demonstrates that our efforts have a tangible impact on market fairness and tax collection,” Otakar Sladkovský, Director of the Specialized Tax Office, said.
Although gambling tax is a relatively smaller contributor to the state’s overall tax revenues, it remains an important source of income. Last year, gambling taxes generated CZK 20.6 billion, reflecting a 12.5% increase compared to the previous year. Of this amount, CZK 14.2 billion was allocated to the state budget, while the remaining funds were distributed among municipal budgets. In total, tax revenues for the previous year, excluding compulsory insurance premiums, amounted to CZK 1.42 trillion.

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued a cease-and-desist order to BetNow.eu Sportsbook, Casino, and Racebook (BetNow), an offshore online casino operating illegally within the state. The site offers a range of casino games, including slots, poker, and live dealer options such as blackjack, roulette, and craps, as well as betting services for sports events and horse races.
“This unlicensed operator not only violates Michigan law, but also exposes consumers to significant risks. Our job is to protect Michigan residents by ensuring that all online gambling is conducted legally and responsibly,” MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said.
BetNow offers numerous payment options for player deposits, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Zelle, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, CashMG, and bank transfers. However, players must wager their entire initial deposit before becoming eligible to withdraw any winnings.
The MGCB’s investigation found that BetNow is in violation of several key state laws, including:
• Lawful Internet Gaming Act: Only licensed operators are permitted to offer internet gaming. Only Michigan-licensed casinos and federally authorized tribal casinos can apply for a gaming license under state law.
• Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act: Operating an unlicensed gambling business is a felony in Michigan, carrying penalties of up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $100,000, or both.
• Michigan Penal Code: Gambling, which involves payment based on the outcome of an uncertain event, is prohibited under state law. Accepting money with the understanding it will be paid based on a game of chance is illegal.

The National Council of Games of Chance and Luck in Colombia has issued Agreement 802 of 2025, through which operators are authorized to use random number generators complementary to the use of raffles and to broadcast the draws over the internet.
“We are working to modernize the entire industry, and that means implementing new technologies. With this Agreement, our goal is that, based on number generators, lottery operators can carry out more draws per year. This means not only an increase in sales, but also in transfers for health,” Marco Emilio Hincapié, president of Coljuegos, said.
Random number generators are systems that allow numbers to be chosen at random. These programs work through computer algorithms that create statistically independent results without following specific patterns that lead to them being predictable.
“From now on, lottery operators will have the possibility of continuing to use the ballot boxes and, at the same time, create more draws in which random number generators are used,” said the president.
“In addition, they will be able to broadcast the draws through their websites, social media and traditional media such as television. This will provide greater transparency in the draws and more guarantees for bettors,” he added.
This new regulation is part of the strategy to transform and optimize the operation of games of chance and luck with computer security and transparency standards.
