Playnetic to exhibit at SBC Summit as provider announces Romanian licence acquisition
Playnetic, the new B2B iGaming provider, is gearing up to launch a number of new slot games at the SBC Summit in Lisbon, where the company will also unveil key strategic plans fresh off securing a key Romanian licence.
The company will be exhibiting with a large-scale stand at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and will showcase new game titles featuring an alluring mix of artwork, themes and engaging in-game features such as free spins, multipliers and progressive jackpots on offer.
Attendees are invited to visit the Playnetic stand for an interactive showcase of the company’s latest game releases. There they will find engaging demonstrations, daily tournaments with opportunities to win exciting prizes, and an open bar throughout the event. Attendees can also connect with the Playnetic team during dedicated cocktail hours on Tuesday and Wednesday from 4pm.
Dan Phillips, Playnetic CEO said: “In less than a year, Playnetic has achieved remarkable milestones. We’ve built a 100 plus strong team of passionate gaming professionals across the globe, have been granted licences in Sweden and Romania with more to be announced soon, and secured key partnerships to launch our gaming content across key global markets. Our mission remains clear – to deliver innovative games and be a trusted partner known for delivering our games reliably to our partners on time, every time.”
Following regulatory approval from Romanian regulator, Oficiul National pentru Jocuri de Noroc (ONJN), Playnetic can now operate in Romania’s rapidly growing online casino market, projected to reach £633 million by 2029. The Romanian license marks another step in Playnetic’s global expansion, following its Swedish license acquisition earlier this year.
Phillips added: “Our success so far, including two recent shortlisting’s at the SBC Awards, wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and creativity of our incredible team. We’re thrilled to showcase their hard work at SBC Summit and explore new opportunities to bring our immersive gaming experiences to players around the world. Our Chief Commercial Officer, Julian Borg-Barthet will be available alongside his sales and Account Management team throughout the week to discuss commercial deals and provide further visibility into our exciting plans for the future, including our progress on our next phase of licence agreements across Europe.”
Playnetic will be at the SBC Summit between 24-26 September, at stand number A110.
On the 26 September Playnetic representatives will also be at the MEO Arena attending the SBC Awards where the company is shortlisted in both the Employer of the Year and Rising Star in Casino Innovation/Software categories.

Vixio Launches Game-Changing Online Casino Technical Compliance Tool
Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, has launched the newest RegTech solution for the gambling industry: the Vixio Technical Compliance Tool. The brand new Technical Compliance Tool gathers all the must-know technical requirements for online casino providers and operators in regulated markets in a consistent format, saving countless hours of manual research.
“At Vixio, we’ve always prioritised listening to our customers, and the launch of our Technical Compliance Tool is a direct response to their needs,” explained Mike Woolfrey, CEO, Vixio. “We understand the complexity and urgency of staying compliant in a rapidly evolving industry, and this Technical Compliance Tool will help our customers accomplish that simpler and quicker than ever before.”
The long-awaited launch of the Technical Compliance Tool comes as a result of customer feedback for a one-stop solution for technical requirements in the online casino industry. Online casino suppliers are seeking to capitalise on opportunities to enter newly regulated markets across multiple regions and speed up new game development while balancing an increasing burden on compliance teams to ensure product and regulatory compliance. Regulations and technical requirements vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and with speed-to-market of paramount importance, compliance teams face increasing pressure to act quickly whilst avoiding errors.
“With our Technical Compliance Tool, we’re providing a solution that empowers our customers to confidently expand into new markets, knowing they have the most up-to-date and comprehensive regulatory intelligence at their fingertips,” said James Kilsby, Chief Analyst, Vixio.
Kilsby continued, “The technical compliance landscape for online casino games has become significantly more complex in recent years as European regulators have imposed stricter requirements on game design at the same time that North and Latin American markets have offered significant new opportunities for suppliers and operators to grow their businesses. The Vixio Technical Compliance Tool ensures compliance teams can continue to meet these two challenges.”
Providing a comparative view of over 65 of the most critical technical requirements that impact the development, deployment and certification of online casino games across the world’s largest and strategically important regulated markets, with source references in their original language and English translations, the tool initially covers regulations for 26 jurisdictions in Europe, North America and Latin America, including Brazil.
The Technical Compliance Tool will sit within Vixio’s flagship platform, GamblingCompliance. Vixio GamblingCompliance is trusted by leading gambling brands for insights into specific requirements in 180+ jurisdictions to stay current with the ever-evolving gambling regulatory landscape and support strategic growth objectives.
It has already been beta-tested by a select group of Vixio customers and will be officially launched today at an exclusive industry event in London.
