iGaming platform provider iGP has partnered with BetComply as part of its strategy to step up expansion into regulated markets.
The deal strengthens iGP’s ongoing transformation into a fully B2B-focused business. BetComply will advise across licensing applications, compliance documentation, internal controls and technical requirements, ensuring iGP and its operator partners are well prepared to scale in new jurisdictions.
Compliance first
By adding BetComply’s experience in the industry, iGP said it can provide operators with long-term compliance assurance alongside the company’s growing suite of products.
This includes the iGaming Platform, iGaming Deck aggregator, turnkey casino and sportsbook solutions, integrated crypto and retail services, and its new lottery vertical.
Jovana Popovic Canaki, CEO at iGP, commented: “Partnering with BetComply marks a significant milestone that underscores both our ambition and momentum. It strengthens iGP’s position as a serious player in regulated markets worldwide, and I’m immensely proud of the teams and partners who made this possible.
“With BetComply’s support, we are ready to deliver our technology and vision to operators across regulated markets. We look forward to announcing our new market launches shortly.”
Meanwhile, Mike de Graaff, Chief Compliance Officer at BetComply, added: “We’re excited to support iGP as they target to expand into regulated markets. Our role is to ensure that iGP and its partners enter every jurisdiction on a strong and sustainable compliance foundation, giving operators the confidence to focus on growth.”
The news follows the latest rollout of a new iGaming lottery product from iGP, which was described as a digital secondary lottery and raffle solution which offers over 70 global draw-based games, payout of up to €100m, and supported crypto payments.
EU regulatory shifts
SBC News recently spoke with de Graaff in a wider conversation about compliance challenges across Europe, where he warned that operating in highly regulated markets has become even tougher.
Over the summer, three major pieces of EU legislation came into effect – the EU Accessibility Act, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the AI Act – each carrying significant implications for iGaming businesses.
Operators must now ensure their websites are fully accessible for users with disabilities, strengthen cybersecurity measures, and adapt their use of artificial intelligence under new regulatory frameworks.
“These three acts are specialisations. Accessibility is a specialisation on its own, cybersecurity on its own, AI on its own, and then the regulatory challenges on their own as well,” de Graaff told SBC Leaders magazine.
“It’s not like one super genius that works in-house can solve all of these, because they simply can’t.”
He added that very few operators are fully prepared for the changes, with most lacking the in-house expertise to implement such wide-ranging requirements. Turning straight to legal advisers, he warned, is unlikely to be a cost-effective solution.
