Singular appoints Claudio Overend as the new Head of Legal and Compliance.
Singular, a Tier 1 supplier, has made a strong comeback on the iGaming scene with the exhibition on SiGMA last November. Following the opening of the second office in Malta, their Core Commercial Base, the company continues to reinforce the B2B growth with the appointment of new Head of Legal and Compliance.
Claudio joins Singular from EveryMatrix where he held a position as a Senior Legal Counsel for the past 4 years. He began his career as an associate lawyer at Aequitas Legal but soon afterward got involved in the iGaming industry during his employment at Kambi.
“I am excited to join a company led by Millenials who are dynamic and forward-looking. These are times of opportunity for the iGaming industry with the increased number of newly regulated markets including the U.S sports betting market. With its progressive leadership, I am confident Singular has solid ground to leverage these opportunities for geographic expansion. I am looking forward to being one of the enablers of this process.” – says Claudio Overend, Head of Legal and Compliance.
In his new role, Claudio will be working closely with the entire management team providing advice and direction on all aspects of relevant laws and regulations affecting the business. The legal team in Malta is set for growth, enhancing the company’s strategic focus on regulated markets.
Darko Gacov, one of the company’s founding partners, welcomes Overend to Singular: “We are more than pleased to have Claudio join our team and bring a fresh perspective on the table. His previous experience in regulatory and compliance is of great value for us in times of rapid growth.”

UKGC Announces Changes Aimed at Increasing Consumer Control Over Deposit Limits

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has announced changes aimed at increasing consumer control over deposit limits and greater transparency of customer funds protection by operators.
A further change to the Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) will also pave the way for implementation of Government’s upcoming statutory levy.
The changes follow a consultation and are consistent with the 2023 White Paper High stakes: gambling reform for the digital age.
New rules will give consumers more effective ways to manage their gambling by making it easier to set and maintain deposit limits on their online accounts, in ways that work best for them.
From 31 October 2025 all gambling businesses must prompt their customers to set a financial limit before they make their first deposit and make it easy to review and alter this limit at any point after.
These rules will take good practice already offered by some operators and expand that so customers can expect the same standards across the industry.
Gambling businesses will also be required to remind consumers every six months to review their account and transaction information – this will help consumers consider if they want to change existing, or set new, deposit limits.
Operators who hold customer funds must set out in the terms and conditions whether these are protected in the event of insolvency, the level of such protection and the method by which this is achieved. They must also make this information available at the point at which a customer first deposits money.
The Commission’s LCCP currently requires operators to make annual financial contributions to a list of research, prevention and treatment organisations. This requirement will be removed close to the introduction of the government’s statutory levy (opens in new tab) (expected to come into force on 6 April 2025) as it will become obsolete.
“These changes illustrate our commitment to ensuring gambling is fair and open by improving consumer empowerment and choice. These changes will help consumers decide on deposit limits, enable them to keep track of their spending and ensure they are fully aware of what happens to their funds should an operator become insolvent. We will now continue our work to deliver our remaining White Paper commitments, including our programme of evaluation,” Tim Miller, Commission Executive Director for research and policy, said.
