TVBET’s PokerBet and 21Bet have got certified equipment
The world’s leading B2B provider of live games, TVBET, has updated the equipment of two more of its games — PokerBet and 21Bet. The games have got the GLI-certified shuffle machines, which guarantee the fairness of the outcomes. TVBET moves to the goal of upgrading all its games with the certified equipment.
TVBET continues to work hard on improving existing games. The live games provider has implemented GLI-certified card shufflers into two more games — PokerBet and 21Bet. The addition of PokerBet and 21Bet means TVBET now has a total of ten out of twelve live games approved by the UK-based Gaming Laboratories International (GLI). The changes have already entered into force, everyone can check it on the sites of their partners, or in the Demo section of the official TVBET website.
Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) is an internationally accredited association, in accordance with ISO/IEC standards, which confirms technical competence in the field of gaming and gambling. This achievement will allow TVBET to strengthen its position in the igaming market and will attract the attention of even more players, as they will be able to assess the fairness and randomness of the results of the games.
PokerBet is one of the most popular TVBET live games. As for the beginning of 2021, it has hit in the top-3 live-games of TVBET. It is based on the well-known rules of Texas Hold’em Poker.
21Bet is another beloved TVBET game which has quite simple rules. Two conditional players must score the number of points closest to 21, like in regular Blackjack.
Players have a wide range of options available in these two games:
- In-Play betting options;
- Parlay betting;
- Betting on up to 10 future events;
- Non-stop games streaming;
- Multi-level jackpot system;
- Promo functionality etc.
TVBET understands that players value the honesty of game outcomes, so they are trying to integrate certified equipment in more and more games. The provider expects PokerBet and 21Bet to become even more popular with the new shufflers.
Currently, TVBET has 10 out of 12 live games which are equipped with GLI-certified shufflers. The full list of certified TVBET live games is as follows: War of Elements, JokerBet, 1Bet, 5Bet, 7Bet, FruitRace, Lucky6, WheelBet, PokerBet, 21Bet.

A New Analysis by EGBA Reveals Notable Shift Towards Multi-licensing for Online Gambling Across Europe
A new analysis by EGBA concludes that 27 out of 31 European countries employ some form of multi-licensing for online gambling, with an overwhelming majority implementing a full multi-licensing approach.
In recent years, Europe has experienced a remarkable transformation in online gambling regulation. Just fifteen years ago, the landscape was vastly different. Most European countries lacked dedicated regulations for online gambling or operated under exclusive rights models where only state-owned entities had a monopoly to offer online gambling services.
But fast forward to today and the situation has evolved significantly. A new analysis by the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) concludes that the multi-licensing model has become the predominant regulatory approach in Europe. Under this model, multiple companies are permitted to offer online gambling services within a country, provided they comply with strict regulatory obligations.
Key findings of the analysis:
- 27 out of 31 European countries have adopted some form of multi-licensing, indicating a robust trend towards open, competitive markets.
- Four countries currently do not have any form of multi-licensing: Finland, Iceland, and Norway maintain exclusive rights models, granting state-owned entities a monopoly over all online gambling services, while Luxembourg lacks dedicated regulations for online gambling.
- Of the 27 countries with multi-licensing, 23 countries have a full multi-licensing model for all regulated online gambling products in those countries.
- Four countries have a mixed model with partial multi-licensing: Slovenia and Switzerland each have a monopoly for online sports betting, while Austria and Poland each have a monopoly for online casino gaming and poker, with multi-licensing for all other online gambling products.
- Cyprus (casino gaming and poker) and France (casino gaming) each impose product-specific prohibitions but both have multi-licensing for all other regulated online gambling products.
- Finland is currently undergoing legislative reforms, and is expected to establish a multi-licensing framework for online gambling in 2026.
Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA, said: “The momentum towards full multi-licensing for online gambling in Europe is undeniable. While a few exceptions still exist, governments are concluding that public policy objectives, particularly related to consumer protection and tax generation, are more effectively met through well-regulated online competition. Finland’s current transition towards multi-licensing signals the impending end of the last online gambling monopoly in the EU, marking a significant regulatory milestone.
“Similar deliberations regarding the future of the online monopoly are inevitable in Norway and Iceland. Furthermore, the handful of countries with either partial monopolies or product prohibitions should strive for greater consistency and effectiveness in their policies by phasing these out. With over 15 years of regulatory experience in Europe, it’s clear that full multi-licensing offers the best pathway to enhance consumer protection, increase tax revenues, and ensure stronger regulatory control. The time has come for the last remaining European countries to embrace this optimal form of online regulation.”
