Altenar Crowned Best Online Sportsbook Provider 2026 at SiGMA South America Awards

(AsiaGameHub) - This honor underscores the firm's dedication to scalable, data-centric sportsbook platforms, its expanding presence in Latin America, and its mission to assist operators in bypassing outdated system constraints while leveraging the region's booming sports betting sector. Press release.- Altenar has secured the title of ‘Best Online Sportsbook Provider 2026’ at the SiGMA South America Awards in São Paulo. As the organization noted: “This accolade demonstrates Altenar’s ongoing pledge to furnish high-performance sportsbook solutions customized for the changing requirements of operators globally.” Renowned for its adaptability, scalability, and data-centric methodology, Altenar has become a reliable ally for both new and established brands operating within regulated markets. As the firm broadens its global reach, Latin America stays a primary strategic priority, with Altenar already observing robust and consistent expansion among its operator partners throughout the area. Luana Monje, sales executive at Altenar Brazil, remarked: “We perceive vast potential in the area, and our priority is to supply operators with bespoke, adaptable sportsbook solutions that fit their specific requirements and player demographics. Our aim is to equip every partner with technology that fosters engagement, retention, and long-term growth.” During SiGMA South America 2026, Altenar is tackling a major hurdle for regional operators: the drawbacks of legacy technology. Additionally, the company is posing a vital industry inquiry – why do so many operators fail to prioritize sportsbooks in their core strategy? Co-founder and COO Dinos Stranomitis will address this subject during a keynote address on the conference's opening day. To illustrate, in Brazil specifically, the inaugural year of regulated online sports betting produced US$7bn in gross gaming revenue (GGR), highlighting the massive opportunities operators might be overlooking. Utilizing its award-winning platform and progressive outlook, Altenar allows operators to capitalize on the possibilities within Latin America’s vibrant igaming sector, offering bespoke solutions that help businesses achieve their growth targets.

Polymarket Upgrades Trading Infrastructure and Exchange Stack with New Stablecoin

(AsiaGameHub) - In a Monday announcement shared on X, Polymarket stated it is rolling out what it describes as the largest infrastructure update since the decentralized prediction market first launched in 2020. The updates include a reconstructed trading engine, revised smart contracts, and a new collateral token named Polymarket USD. We’ve listened to your feedback, and we’re thrilled to announce Polymarket is receiving a full exchange upgrade.Over the coming few weeks, we’re launching a rebuilt trading engine, upgraded smart contracts, and a new collateral token (Polymarket USD) as we phase out USDC.e. — Polymarket (@Polymarket) April 6, 2026 Over the next two to three weeks, the event contract exchange will revamp its core infrastructure to boost execution speed, reduce gas costs, and build a more streamlined technical foundation for future development. The most noticeable change for the platform’s regular users will be the transition from USDC.e to Polymarket USD, which the company confirms is backed 1:1 by USDC. Put simply, Polymarket will replace the token users submit as collateral with its own USDC wrapper, while also upgrading the behind-the-scenes trade matching system. Most front-end adjustments will be processed automatically, the company noted. However, open orders will be canceled for a short window during the maintenance period, which will be announced at least one week in advance. What the Upgrade Actually Entails From a technical standpoint, Polymarket is launching CTF Exchange V2 and an updated iteration of its central limit order book, or CLOB. For those unfamiliar with the crypto space, these changes essentially translate to faster trade matching, lower transaction fees, and updated infrastructure for bots, apps, and other tools that connect to the exchange. The company also noted the new tech stack will support EIP-1271 signatures, a change that is expected to simplify interactions between smart contract wallets and the platform. The upgrades extend beyond the retail trading experience. In an X post explaining the update, Polymarket Developers stated API traders, bot operators, and other integrators will need to update their software development kits and re-sign orders using the new system structure. TypeScript, Python, and Go clients are expected to be available ahead of launch day, while migration documentation and a full API changelog will be released at a later date. Upgrade Follows a Series of Infrastructure-Related Deals Polymarket’s April 6 announcement comes on the heels of several moves the company made in early 2026 to strengthen the technical infrastructure supporting its exchange. The firm has spent the past few months building out its core technology via a series of acquisitions and major funding rounds. February 19: Polymarket purchased Dome, a Y Combinator-backed startup focused on unified API infrastructure, to simplify market data access for third-party tools. March 18: The company acquired Brahma, a DeFi infrastructure specialist, to enhance wallet creation, cross-chain operations, and token redemption processes. March 27: Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent entity of the New York Stock Exchange, finalized a $600 million direct cash investment in Polymarket. This followed ICE’s $1 billion investment in the platform in late 2025. As Polymarket integrates these specialized technologies and secures substantial institutional backing, it is increasingly positioning itself as far more than a standard betting platform. The new infrastructure provides Polymarket with the core trading “plumbing” it needs to reduce its dependence on third-party providers, enabling it to build a more stable, scalable environment as it continues its CFTC-regulated re-entry into the U.S. market.

Wabanaki Tribes Bid for Online Casino Rights in Maine Lawsuit

(AsiaGameHub) - The four Wabanaki tribes in Maine have submitted a legal motion in response to a lawsuit by Oxford Casino Hotel, which aims to prevent the tribes from debuting online casino platforms. Following Maine's legalization of tribal-led online casinos earlier this year, Oxford Casino filed a suit against the state, characterizing the legislation as an unlawful “race-based monopoly.” A judge has approved a joint request to intervene in the case filed last week by all four Wabanaki tribes: the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Mi’kmaq Nation, the Passamaquoddy Tribe, and the Penobscot Nation. Does Tribal Exclusivity Constitute Racial Discrimination? In its January filing, the casino argued that “advancing iGaming through race-based preferences is a significant blow to Maine companies like Oxford Casino,” noting their substantial investments in the state. The casino further asserts that the introduction of online casinos could result in the loss of 378 jobs, $22 million in labor earnings, and $60 million in total economic value for Maine. Rejecting the allegation of racial favoritism, the tribes maintain that their exclusive gaming privileges are rooted in their status as sovereign political entities. Legal counsel for the tribes stated that “accepting the Plaintiffs’ equal protection arguments could jeopardize numerous laws that are based on the distinct sovereign status of federally recognized tribes.” The tribes currently hold exclusive rights to sports wagering, which debuted in 2023. However, this sector has faced opposition from the tribes regarding the emergence of sports prediction markets. Tribal Empowerment Through Online Casino Revenue Although Maine Governor Janet Mills was initially hesitant to legalize online casinos, she ultimately approved the measure to support tribal development. Mills remarked, “I have consistently aimed to collaborate with Tribal leaders to enhance the prosperity of the Wabanaki Nations, and I hope this new funding source achieves that goal.” Market experts estimate that iGaming could produce $100 million to $200 million in yearly revenue. From this, commercial partners DraftKings and Caesars, who manage tribal sports betting, could see $20 million to $30 million. Oxford Casino Argues Limited Benefits for Maine State tax forecasts suggest roughly $1.8 million in revenue during the first year, increasing to approximately $3.6 million the following year. Oxford Casino contends these tax figures do not justify the market's expansion and points to a poll showing that 65% of Maine residents are against online casinos. The complaint argues that there is no "compelling government interest" in prioritizing the financial welfare of the Wabanaki Nations over other state entities and citizens. Lenny Powell, representing the Wabanaki Nations via the Native American Rights Fund, noted that evidence indicates “both tribal and nontribal communities benefit when Tribal nations are granted the power of self-determination.” The legal challenge aims for a ruling that the law violates Maine's rules against special legislation and seeks an injunction. If the law stands, the first sites could launch next year. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

Kalshi Secures Landmark Ruling in New Jersey Allowing It to Offer Sports Prediction Markets

(AsiaGameHub) - Kalshi has secured a significant legal victory in the Third Circuit in New Jersey. The judges affirmed a prior decision to grant the company a preliminary injunction in its legal dispute with the state's gambling regulator. While this ruling does not definitively settle the legality of sports prediction markets, Dustin Gouker, a prominent industry analyst, described it as “the most important ruling to date concerning the legality of prediction markets and whether federal law supersedes state gaming regulations.” Gouker first reported this development in his newsletter, The Event Horizon, noting that two out of the three judges ruled in favor of Kalshi. In their written decision, the judges stated, “Kalshi was likely to succeed in demonstrating that the (Commodity Exchange) Act preempts New Jersey law from interfering with Kalshi’s CFTC-licensed DCM to prohibit sports-related event contracts.” Case Background New Jersey was among the initial states to challenge Kalshi regarding its sports markets, issuing the company a cease-and-desist letter in April of the previous year. In response, Kalshi initiated a lawsuit against the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE) and the Casino Control Commission. Subsequently, a judge granted Kalshi a preliminary injunction, which halted the enforcement of the cease-and-desist order. New Jersey appealed this decision to the Third Circuit, but the judges ultimately upheld the original ruling. Implications for Sports Prediction Markets For the present, this judgment permits Kalshi to continue offering its sports markets within New Jersey. It is also anticipated that Kalshi will leverage this decision in other legal challenges across the nation. Concurrently, rulings in other states have been issued that Kalshi's adversaries are utilizing to bolster their arguments. Similar to New Jersey, Nevada initially granted Kalshi an injunction but later reversed its decision. This state is the sole jurisdiction that has successfully imposed restrictions on Kalshi's markets. In a court filing submitted in New Jersey last week, Kalshi pointed out that the ruling in Nevada was made without a hearing. The company's legal team also argued that imposing restrictions on federally regulated exchanges would lead to “complete chaos,” rendering platforms unable to provide equitable access to all eligible participants nationwide. CFTC Supports Kalshi The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) submitted an amicus brief in support of Kalshi and has reaffirmed its position that it possesses exclusive jurisdiction over event contracts. The commission has further defended Kalshi and other platforms by filing lawsuits against state regulators in Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois. The New Jersey ruling strengthens the cases for both the CFTC and Kalshi, though the legal battle is far from over. Gouker commented, “New Jersey could request an en banc rehearing in the Third Circuit, where all the judges in the circuit would hear the case. It could also appeal to the US Supreme Court.” The Supreme Court is likely to be the venue where the legal standing of sports prediction markets will be determined. Legal experts anticipate this will occur within the next few years, potentially as early as next year. As with many matters, trading on these markets is available on prediction market platforms. Polymarket currently indicates a 60% probability that the Supreme Court will hear a case by the end of the year. This article is provided by a third-party.

SOFTSWISS’s In-House Cybersecurity Product Wins 2026 Global Tech Award

(AsiaGameHub) - SOFTSWISS has secured a Global Tech Award 2026 in the Cyber Security Technology sector. The award honors its Pipeguard platform, which serves to safeguard the company’s infrastructure throughout various regulated markets. Press release.- SOFTSWISS has been honored with a Global Tech Award 2026 in the Cyber Security Technology category. The award acknowledges Pipeguard, a proprietary security solution integrated seamlessly into the software development lifecycle. The Global Tech Awards honor technological innovation across various global sectors, marking a major achievement for SOFTSWISS within the international tech community. SOFTSWISS created Pipeguard to address a widespread industry challenge. As development cycles accelerate, conventional security tools often generate an excessive volume of low-priority alerts, causing engineers to waste time on false positives rather than addressing genuine threats. The platform automates this workflow, performing over 2,000 daily scans across more than 200 production repositories spanning various product lines. This efficiency allows for the remediation of over 90 percent of critical vulnerabilities within established deadlines. Pipeguard is an internal tool engineered to secure software prior to deployment. By operating directly within the development pipeline, it detects and prevents the integration of insecure code, vulnerable components, exposed credentials, and configuration errors before they reach the production environment. A key feature of Pipeguard is its Risk Context Score, a unique methodology that prioritizes findings based on their actual impact on the business. This mechanism has decreased irrelevant security notifications by 95 percent, enabling engineering teams to prioritize real risks. Integration for new projects typically requires only a few hours. The platform supports a technological framework utilized by more than 1,400 igaming brands across diverse regulated jurisdictions. It also assists SOFTSWISS in maintaining compliance and passing regulatory audits in various markets, including Estonia, Brazil, South Africa, and Mexico, among others. Evgeny Zaretskov, Group Chief Security Officer at SOFTSWISS, stated: “In the igaming sector, where rapid deployment and reliability are paramount, security measures must be embedded within the delivery process rather than treated as an afterthought. Pipeguard prevents exploitable vulnerabilities from entering the production environment across the entire SOFTSWISS ecosystem. This accolade validates our efforts in advancing global cybersecurity standards.” SOFTSWISS will continue to present its latest innovations at BiS SiGMA South America 2026. Operators are invited to visit stands M80 and M85 to discover how the company’s technology facilitates the secure scaling of igaming operations in regulated markets.

South Korean Police Launch New Amnesty Program for Teen Gambling Offenses

(AsiaGameHub) - Authorities in South Korea have launched a new initiative to combat underage gambling, introducing a fresh amnesty period for addicted youth and implementing stricter penalties for illegal operators who target minors. Last December, the South Gyeongsang Provincial Police initiated a similar amnesty, encouraging young residents to surrender voluntarily in exchange for cautions or reduced punishments. Following the conclusion of that program on February 28, officials declared it a success, noting that six teenagers had come forward to confess. According to reports from the local news agency Newsis, the same police department has decided to renew the initiative. Residents under the age of 19 within the province are encouraged to report themselves to the authorities before the June 30 deadline. In addition to the possibility of lenient sentencing, police confirmed that youth struggling with online betting will be provided with "guidance and recovery-focused treatment." This phase of the program also invites parents and guardians to contact the police if they suspect their children have developed gambling habits. South Korean Amnesty: Support for Gambling Addiction is Available Officials stated that specialists from the Gyeongbuk Gambling Problem Prevention and Treatment Center will conduct dedicated sessions for those who come forward. Police noted that participants might be "dismissed with a warning" or referred to summary courts if their infractions are considered minor. In the South Korean legal system, summary courts oversee minor offenses and typically issue small fines. Notably, these cases do not result in a permanent criminal record for the individual. Authorities added that even individuals with prior offenses could be granted clemency if they take advantage of the amnesty period. Those who surrender during this window may also receive a formal letter from the School Police Officer’s department. This specific department has the authority to petition the judiciary for leniency in instances where they believe a gambling offender has shown genuine reform. “This amnesty offers young people addicted to online gambling a chance to understand the risks involved,” a spokesperson commented. “It is an opportunity for them to return to a normal, healthy life. The support programs offered by the police and specialized agencies will be highly beneficial.” “We urge young people to make the brave choice to come forward,” the spokesperson added. “We are here to help them move past their struggles with online gambling.” Judiciary Introduces Stricter Sentencing Guidelines At the same time, the judicial branch is moving to strengthen the standards used to penalize gambling operators who exploit minors. As reported by Money Today, courts are being advised to issue longer prison sentences for these crimes. The South Korean Supreme Court. (Image: Seoul Institute [CC BY 4.0]) The Sentencing Commission of the Supreme Court has approved updated guidelines that are set to take effect on July 1. While these guidelines are not legally binding in the same way as statutes, they carry significant weight and are highly influential for lower court rulings. The commission explained that the increased sentencing standards are intended to "address the damaging impact of illegal gambling that targets the youth." Under these new rules, operators of unlicensed casinos can expect prison terms ranging from 10 months to two years in standard cases. For more aggravated offenses, the commission has recommended jail sentences between 18 months and four years. Updated Rules for Financial Crimes and Money Laundering The commission also revealed new protocols for other gambling-related violations, financial crimes, and money laundering. Furthermore, the body advised the judiciary to ignore "surprise deposits" when evaluating cases of investment fraud or gambling scams. This refers to instances where suspects send unsolicited "refunds" to victims during a trial in an attempt to gain the court's sympathy and a lighter sentence. In separate news, the South Korean casino firm Lotte Tour Development announced that its sales for March exceeded 50 billion won ($33 million) for the first time in the company's history.

Kentucky bill to raise minimum sports betting age heads to governor

(AsiaGameHub) - The Kentucky Senate has passed House Bill 904. US.- The Kentucky Senate has passed House Bill 904, legislation that seeks to modify the state's gambling regulations. The measure would increase the legal age for sports betting from 18 to 21 and prohibit proposition bets on college athletes. The bill would also authorize fantasy sports betting, placing it under the oversight of the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Corporation. It further limits certain proposition wagers on college athletes and stipulates that sportsbook operators are barred from running prediction markets within the state. The House approved the bill in March. It now proceeds to Governor Andy Beshear for consideration. This article is provided by a third-party.

Premier League clubs prepare for financial impact as new gambling sponsorship rules take effect

(AsiaGameHub) - As the English Premier League’s voluntary ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships draws near, clubs are already counting up the financial costs they face. UK.- After years of discussion, the English Premier League’s voluntary ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships will come into force soon for the 2026/27 season. At the same time, the UK government appears likely to introduce a mandatory ban on sponsorship deals with operators that do not hold a licence from the Gambling Commission. While the upcoming voluntary rule still allows other logo placements, including on the sleeves of jerseys, the change will inevitably hit the finances of some clubs. This is because 11 out of 20 Premier League clubs still have front-of-shirt gambling sponsors in the current season, and many are already bracing for sharp revenue drops. Reports indicate that nine clubs have still not secured new shirt sponsors for the upcoming season, highlighting the scale of disruption to one of football’s most valuable commercial assets. Historically, betting companies — especially those targeting Asian audiences that often lack Gambling Commission licences — have paid premium prices for the global exposure that Premier League shirts offer. The Guardian has cited executives revealing that “nearly everyone” outside the top six clubs will lose money, with mid-tier sponsorship offers from non-gambling businesses sitting around 50 per cent lower than existing deals. This pulls annual contract values from the previous £8-£12m range closer to £4-£6m, and the collective shortfall across the entire league could reach £80m. Sean Connell, editor of The Sponsor, estimates that clubs could lose around 38 per cent of their total shirt sponsorship value when replacing gambling brands. One club executive has reportedly admitted that the strongest non-gambling offer the club received was less than half the value of its current deal. Some clubs have already announced new arrangements at reduced rates. Bournemouth has confirmed that Vitality, its existing stadium sponsor, will take over shirt sponsorship duties, while Brentford is close to finalizing a deal with Indeed, its current training kit partner. These new agreements are reportedly worth £4-£5m per year, well below the value of previous gambling-backed contracts. Signs point to financial services companies being the most likely candidates to fill part of the gap left by gambling brands. Everton and Fulham are reportedly in negotiations with CMC Markets for deals worth up to £50m over three years. Other clubs already have long-standing financial sector partnerships in place, such as Brighton with American Express, Tottenham with AIA, and Liverpool with Standard Chartered. The big six clubs are more insulated from the impact, as smaller clubs have typically leaned heavily on gambling sponsorship contracts. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United continue to earn £50-£60m a year from their sponsorships, while Tottenham’s £40m deal with AIA remains fully in place. Chelsea, however, has struggled to secure long-term shirt sponsors, relying on short-term agreements including its current deal with IFS. First announced back in 2023 during the previous UK government’s Gambling Act review, the Premier League’s choice to voluntarily implement a front-of-shirt gambling sponsorship ban was meant to ease public pressure for a full nationwide ban. This allows clubs to still benefit from more modest arrangements with the gambling sector, while leaving the more gambling-dependent English Football League (EFL) unaffected. However, the potential introduction of a ban on deals with gambling operators that lack a British licence could end up causing more widespread financial challenges across British football. For now, clubs continue to explore other revenue streams linked to the gambling sector. Everton and West Ham have shifted gambling partners to sleeve sponsorship positions, while Newcastle has signed a pitchside advertising deal with 8Xbet. There are also suggestions that gambling operators could be displaced from the EFL, where Sky Bet’s title sponsorship agreement runs until 2029 following its renewal in 2023.

Former fraudster emphasizes the ease of accessing unlicensed gambling in the UK

(AsiaGameHub) - During the Cheltenham Festival, Alex Wood utilized absurd fake identities to place bets. UK.- Former fraudster Alex Wood, who served an eight-year prison sentence following over 25 years of criminal activity, has carried out an investigation into unlicensed gaming for Flutter Entertainment. The results have intensified worries regarding the unlicensed gambling sector. Wood currently serves as an anti-fraud consultant and the CEO of Reform Courses, a provider of fraud-awareness training. During the Cheltenham Festival in the UK, he illustrated the simplicity of wagering on unauthorized websites by creating accounts with false identities. As part of his study, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4’s Scam Secrets, Wood established an account with the unlicensed operator VeloBet using the personal information of trainer Willie Mullins and subsequently placed bets on races featuring Mullins' horses. Other instances involved registering on platforms owned by Santeda International using identities like the nine-year-old racehorse Constitution Hill and the fictional character Little Bo Peep. In one scenario, a live chat agent congratulated one of his aliases on their upcoming 18th birthday, even though his registration details showed he was underage. Wood also discovered that certain operators permitted him to gamble despite him being registered with GAMSTOP, the UK's self-exclusion scheme. At the Deal Me Out’s Illegal Gambling Prevention Conference, Wood presented his findings and warned that illegal platforms are becoming "completely indistinguishable" from licensed ones. He pointed out the use of merchant category codes (MCCs) to prevent banks from identifying gambling-related transactions, a tactic that enables payments to circumvent banks' gambling blocking tools. He noted that some applications available in app stores were marketed as "adventure games" or "puzzle games," yet they offered real-money gambling. Additionally, he asserted that platforms such as Instagram enable illegal betting by permitting influencers to promote it, and that AI-powered chatbots are also directing users to unlicensed gambling websites. Regarding potential solutions, Wood suggested that targeting payment service providers could be effective; however, the use of cryptocurrency complicates this, as some unlicensed gambling sites provide detailed instructions for crypto transactions. He recommended that further steps be taken to exert pressure on the market and raise public awareness of the issue. This article is provided by a third-party.

With ongoing investments in entertainment and the development of the new arena, there is a significant opportunity to further enhance the guest experience and bolster Reno’s standing as a key destination for visitors throughout the region.” According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB), the state's casinos reported $1.23 billion in revenue for February, marking a 1.5 percent increase compared to the previous year. Clark County, which encompasses the Strip, downtown Las Vegas Strip, North Las Vegas, the Boulder Strip, and surrounding areas, generated $1.07 billion in revenue, a 0.7 percent rise from the same month in 2025. The Las Vegas Strip alone contributed $696.2 million, up 0.86 percent. Washoe County, home to casinos in Reno, Sparks, and North Lake Tahoe, saw revenue of $84.2 million, an increase of 7.1 percent year-over-year. This article is provided by a third-party.

The Dutch gambling regulator addresses doubts regarding rules on payouts and account closures

(AsiaGameHub) - The KSA has emphasized that operators must not levy any fees for account closures. The Netherlands.- The Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has sent a reminder to operators about regulations covering the closure of online gaming accounts and payout of player funds processed through customer service. It confirms it has received both concern reports from players and questions from the gambling sector. The KSA noted that reports show players sometimes encounter conditions regarding payouts, such as mandatory minimum amounts or extra actions that have to be completed via customer service. On top of this, the regulator has received inquiries about charging of fees for closing a player account. The KSA stressed that all licensed gambling operators in the Netherlands are required to close a player account whenever a player submits a request for closure. When processing the request, they must pay out all remaining account balance without unnecessary delay. Operators are not permitted to charge fees for closing an account. The regulator explained that any such fees would act as a barrier for players and discourage them from closing their accounts when they wish to do so. However, the KSA clarified that when specific conditions are met, operators can charge fees for management of gaming accounts, payout processing, or the use of specific payment methods. All such charges must be shared clearly and unambiguously with players before any services are provided. Payout processes through customer service Gambling providers are also required to pay out player funds without delay when a player requests a withdrawal, and no permanent structural conditions can be applied to this process. For example, it is against the rules to require a minimum amount before a payout can be issued. The KSA stated it has found no evidence that operators impose improper payout conditions, but it has observed that some operators refer players to customer service for payouts of small amounts. The regulator confirmed this approach is allowed, as long as players are clearly informed of the process ahead of time and the payout is processed immediately after the request. Last week, the KSA published two new studies and released additional guidance for online gambling licensees in the Netherlands on meeting their duty of care obligations. The documents provide insight into current industry practices and offer clarification on personal interviews and the submission of registration notifications for the Central Register for Exclusion from Gambling (Cruks).

Mandatory player cards for gambling proposed in Lithuania

(AsiaGameHub) - The Ministry of Finance’s proposed amendment mandates that players secure a personal card for participation in both physical and digital gambling activities. Lithuania.- The Ministry of Finance has put forward legislative changes for Lithuania’s gambling sector, introducing a player card system for both offline and online gaming. Finance Minister Kristupas Vaitiekūnas outlined a phased strategy, beginning with regulatory simplification in 2027, followed by the enforcement of mandatory gambling cards and cashless transactions effective January 1, 2029. According to the ministry's proposal, all gamblers must acquire a personal card prior to engaging in any gambling activity. These cards would aggregate records of all deposits, winnings, and losses across operators, enabling the Lithuanian gambling regulator to oversee activity more efficiently. Vaitiekūnas characterized the card as a fundamental instrument for responsible gambling, emphasizing its capacity to mitigate harm and restrict access for at-risk individuals. The reform also necessitates a move away from cash transactions. Starting in 2029, all payments and withdrawals within gambling establishments must be processed via non-cash methods linked to the player card. To facilitate this transition, operators will be granted a three-year period to update or replace their equipment to comply with the new standards. In addition to the technical implementation, the amendments would broaden the powers of Lithuania’s gambling regulator and simplify compliance duties for operators starting May 1, 2027. Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė has endorsed the reforms, stating that the administration is exploring various measures to bolster oversight and minimize gambling-related harm. This initiative builds upon previous gambling reforms in Lithuania. In June 2024, the budget and finance committee approved measures to establish a centralized player database and impose monthly or annual loss limits. Furthermore, the nation has implemented strict advertising regulations, including a prohibition on most outdoor gambling advertisements starting July 1, 2025, and a total ban effective January 1, 2028.
