Swintt secured ISO 27001: 2022 certification
In-demand software provider showcases its commitment to information security requirements by acquiring the industry’s gold standard for trust and compliance
Swintt, the innovative studio behind recent hits Wild Wild North and I Hate Fairytales, has announced it has obtained certification from the International Organization for Standardization confirming its information security meets international regulatory requirements.
Considered to be the gold standard for trust and compliance within the iGaming industry, being able to display ISO 27001: 2022 certification will come as a major milestone for Swintt and help the company further showcase its commitment to meeting the highest operational benchmarks.
With the ISO badge effectively providing a way for Swintt to prove that it adheres to globally accepted best practices when it comes to protecting both company and customer information, the provider is hopeful the new certification will open up doors and help it launch in new markets.
Essentially a must-have certification in a number of global jurisdictions, ISO 27001: 2022 outlines how businesses manage and secure sensitive information – including player details and financial transactions – to safeguard data protection and compliance with approved regulatory standards.
As such, the addition of ISO 27001: 2022 certification to Swintt’s already highly respected and award-winning product line-up should serve to further raise the brand’s credibility with new prospective partners, international regulators and the customers who ultimately enjoy its games.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Acquiring ISO 27001: 2022 certification is definitely the gold standard for any operator or software provider looking to showcase its commitment to information security compliance and best practice, so I’m absolutely thrilled that Swintt will now be able to proudly display the organisation’s badge on our website and products.
“Given the importance that safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring your methods are up to recognised regulatory requirements has within the iGaming, I’m very optimistic that adding ISO certification to Swintt’s extensive list of accolades will open up many doors for us in the months to come, be it through creating new partnerships opportunities or helping us enter new markets.”

Expanse Studios, a subsidiary of Meridian Holdings Inc., announced regulatory certification enabling commercial deployment across Colombia’s online gambling market.
Gaming Associates, a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory (accreditation number 9263), certified Gates of Olympia, Candy’s Bonanza, and Leprechaun’s Wish as compliant with technical standards established by Colombian regulatory authorities.

Colombia represents Latin America’s first comprehensively regulated online gambling market, operating under framework legislation established in 2016. According to reports, Colombia’s online gambling market generated $1.29 billion in revenue during 2024, growing at 9.53% CAGR with projections reaching $2.03 billion by 2029. Online casino games and sports betting account for the majority of market activity, with 82% of Colombians participating in games of chance according to industry research.
The market operates under strict regulatory oversight by Coljuegos, Colombia’s gaming authority, requiring comprehensive licensing and technical certification for content providers seeking market access. Colombia’s structured regulatory framework and established licensing infrastructure position the market as strategically valuable for B2B content providers targeting Latin American expansion.
“Colombia is one of the most mature regulated markets in Latin America. Certification here establishes the regulatory foundation we need to scale across the region. The market’s proven that regulated frameworks can work in LatAm—very high player participation shows demand exists when operators can operate legally. That’s the model we’re building toward in other territories,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios.
The Colombia certification follows Expanse Studios’ recent regulatory approvals in Estonia, Latvia, and Portugal, continuing the studio’s expansion across regulated markets in Europe and Latin America. With over 1300 B2B operator partnerships globally and a portfolio of 70+ proprietary titles, Expanse continues building distribution infrastructure in jurisdictions where regulatory compliance creates competitive differentiation.
