JCM Global Achieves Recognition from Bank of England for Outstanding Performance in Banknote Handling Tests
JCM Global has announced that several of its banknote handling devices have successfully passed the rigorous testing conducted by the Bank of England (BoE). The devices that passed include:
UBA PRO
UBA PRO RTQ
MRX
iVIZION
EBA-40
The BoE’s test is comprehensive, consisting of two main parts. First, it evaluates whether genuine banknotes are accurately accepted by the devices. Second, it tests the devices’ ability to reject counterfeit banknotes, including those inserted in all four possible orientations. In addition to counterfeits commonly found in the market, the BoE also uses specially prepared Machine Artificial Counterfeits (MAC notes), which must not be accepted by the devices. The testing criteria have been further tightened as of early 2024, making this achievement even more significant.
Moreover, JCM’s devices have been tested with banknotes and counterfeit money from other UK banks such as the Bank of Ireland and the Bank of Scotland. Its devices are already equipped to recognize the new “King Charles” banknotes, even though these are not yet part of the official test.
This accomplishment underscores JCM’s commitment to providing high-quality, reliable banknote handling solutions. Their continued success in passing these stringent tests reflects their dedication to excellence and proactive approach to evolving market requirements.

Betsson Obtains Local Gaming Licenses in Peru

A subsidiary of Betsson AB has obtained its first local licenses for the newly regulated market in Peru. The licenses cover online casino and sports betting for the Betsson and Betsafe brands. Further, licenses for the Inkabet brand are expected to be obtained soon.
Betsson began its Latin American venture already in 2008 and has since then positioned itself as the most recognised sports betting brand in Peru. In 2019, the Group further strengthened its position toward the country with the launch of its Betsafe brand. Two years later Inkabet, a Peruvian-facing sports betting and online casino business, was acquired.
Besides the new licenses, the Group holds licenses in two other key markets in the region, Colombia and Argentina. In Argentina, Betsson holds licenses in Buenos Aires City, Buenos Aires province, and Córdoba.
Pontus Lindwall, President and CEO of Betsson AB, said: “We have really looked forward to Peru introducing a local regulation and are very pleased with the issuing of these licenses. With this announcement, we affirm our commitment to the local economy and the new regulatory framework in the country.”

Kayo in Breach of Gambling Advertising Laws
![kayo-in-breach-of-gambling-advertising-laws](https://gamingnewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/129302-kayo-in-breach-of-gambling-advertising-laws.jpg)
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has found that sports streaming service Kayo, provided by Hubbl Pty Limited (Hubbl), breached gambling advertising rules by presenting gambling advertisements during live sports events outside allowed times.
The ACMA investigated Hubbl following complaints from viewers relating to live streams of a number of sporting events on Kayo. Gambling advertisements must not be shown by online content providers during live sport events between 5 am and 8.30 pm, including in the five minutes before and after the event.
The ACMA’s investigations identified 16 different gambling advertisements were provided outside the allowed times across a total of 267 live sport events. Hubbl said that this was caused by a system error that affected viewers using iOS applications in a six week period over February and March 2023.
ACMA Authority member Carolyn Lidgerwood said the scale of the error as well as Hubbl’s failure to identify a system bug affecting the playout of gambling ads across a large number of live sport events was very concerning.
“Online streaming services as well as broadcasters all have a responsibility to put robust systems in place so that they adhere to these long-standing gambling advertising rules,” Ms Lidgerwood said.
“The rules are there to reduce viewer exposure to gambling ads, particularly for impressionable young audiences and those vulnerable to gambling harms. In this case Hubbl has let those viewers down.”
The ACMA has issued Hubbl with a remedial direction requiring it to arrange an external audit of its technical systems and processes, including the measures that it has implemented subsequent to the breaches.
If Hubbl fails to comply with the terms of the remedial direction it may be ordered by the Federal Court to pay penalties of up to $626,000 per day.
