(AsiaGameHub) -   Vegangster is now the pioneering iGaming platform to implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI agents to engage directly with its systems in real time. The MCP is an open standard that provides AI agents with a structured framework for communicating with software, enabling them to grasp context, fetch information, and execute actions for users. By standardizing the interaction between AI agents and platform systems, MCP eliminates the need for individual integrations for every scenario, resulting in deployments that are quicker and more scalable. For customer support, this enables agents to instantly address frequent inquiries, such as those related to deposit statuses, bonus terms, and account problems. Rather than creating support tickets or escalating issues, agents can access live data and provide solutions within a single exchange. For operators, routine activities that once involved moving through various interface menus or generating reports can now be accomplished using simple language commands: for instance, sorting player lists, examining performance metrics, or modifying settings. This leads to a reduced learning period and quicker completion of everyday operational duties. Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, views this development as a core transformation, not just a minor improvement: “The ability for AI agents to interact with the platform represents a fundamental change. The applications we see today are merely the initial, most apparent ones. MCP's true strength lies in its adaptability. It paves the way for completely novel methods of managing and developing on the platform. We are honored to be the first to introduce this capability to the iGaming industry.” The integration is presently in a beta phase with a limited group of operators, and a broader rollout is anticipated shortly. Early users are already able to bypass conventional interfaces and start managing the platform via AI agents.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Is there anyone not leveraging AI to enhance outcomes? Sales managers, executives, lawyers, content creators — and, sadly, cybercriminals too. Slotegrator’s new downloadable report explains how iGaming brands can safeguard themselves against the latest wave of AI-driven fraud. Online casinos and sports betting platforms have long been top targets for cybercriminals. Fraudsters see bonuses and other welcome promotions as a chance to get free money. Misusing these offers feels like a victimless offense to them—they don’t think of themselves as thieves, but rather as modern-day Robin Hoods, exploiting what they perceive as an unfair system. In the AI era, scammers now have new tools to use. While many brands have historically depended on strict KYC procedures to eliminate potential risks, even liveness verification can be tricked by a convincing deepfake. Then there are synthetic IDs to think about—fake identities constructed from bits of real data stolen from actual individuals, frequently bought on the dark web. These are only the tactics the industry currently knows about. As soon as a reliable way to detect deepfakes is developed, scammers will shift to other methods—they’re constantly searching for new strategies. Operators will only realize what these new tactics are after the fact. Put simply, you must assume your initial line of defense could break down. Therefore, as the fraud environment evolves, you need to adapt accordingly. As cybercriminals discover more ways to use AI to bypass ID checks and expand their operations, operators need to prioritize AI-driven defense mechanisms. AI tools are no longer optional add-ons—they’re necessary components that should be treated as such. The challenges facing casinos and sportsbooks today demand processing power that human teams alone can’t provide. “In the long run, the law of survival of the fittest will apply,” says Slotegrator COO Olga Ivanchik. “Brands that adapt to the new reality by integrating AI tools will survive the same threats that sink their competitors who tried to keep doing things the old way.” AI tools are already in use for adaptive user experiences, real-time marketing, predictive LTV modeling, and risk management. In its new report, Slotegrator suggests that it’s time to make these tools a core focus and enhance their capabilities further, allowing operators to detect and react to threats as rapidly as required. Slotegrator’s new report outlines the threats online casinos encounter and offers an overview of tools they can utilize to defend themselves. Download the complete report here.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, has announced that it will roll out a brand-new two-round format for Lotto starting on 7 June, and will launch a UK-specific version of Powerball later this summer, pending final regulatory approval. Following the Lotto changes, every £2 play line will offer two winning opportunities across each Wednesday and Saturday draw, using two separate draw machines to produce two sets of six main balls and a Bonus Ball. Allwyn noted that this update will improve the odds of winning any prize from 1-in-9.3 to 1-in-4.9, and is expected to increase the annual number of Lotto millionaires from around 140 to roughly 345. Tickets for the revised Lotto will go on sale on Sunday 7 June, with the first draw under the new format scheduled for Wednesday 10 June. Allwyn said that Lotto jackpots will continue to start at £2m and can roll over up to five times before a must-be-won event takes place on the sixth consecutive draw. The jackpot will be split across both rounds, while other prize tiers will remain fixed cash prizes paid out per round. The Lotto HotPicks add-on game will also transition to the two-round format and will stay priced at £1. The company also announced that it will bring a UK-specific version of Powerball to the market in partnership with the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). Powerball tickets will cost £4 per line in the UK, with players selecting five main numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26, or choosing a Lucky Dip. UK players will take part in the shared jackpot, with UK jackpot winners paid out over 30 years, according to Allwyn. Allwyn CEO, Andria Vidler, said, “We are delivering on our promise to bring more games, more entertainment and more innovation to The National Lottery. With extensive upgrades to our digital and retail channels now complete, we have a fantastic summer lined up, as we are now able to bring these exciting new games to our players.” She added, “Lotto has always been the best game to play if you want to become a millionaire.

Entries for draws will be accepted until 11.55pm the night before scheduled draw days (Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays), with draws taking place around 4am the next morning (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday) from the Powerball studio in Florida, the company noted.

Represented by Senior Business Development Manager Petr Vonarshenko, the studio will take part in an upcoming session exploring how modern slots are evolving into shared, story-rich experiences.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Blask has released fresh non-branded search data showing that lottery-related searches make up approximately 78% of all gambling search demand in France—surpassing interest in sports-related offerings. Per Blask’s data, online casino contributes roughly 10% of gambling search demand in France, with live dealer games, betting, and poker each making up about 4% apiece. The company frames this insight as proof that market assumptions—especially those related to sports betting—might not match real consumer preferences in every region. Along with the data release, Blask launched a new category-level analysis tool built to break down search demand across various verticals and subcategories by market. The firm stated that this feature aims to assist operators in identifying what players seek in different countries through non-branded search indicators. Blask’s statistics highlight significant country-to-country differences in search demand. In Brazil, online betting accounts for approximately 52% of demand—fueled mainly by football—while lottery makes up around 25% and fantasy sports about 11%; online casino stands at roughly 6% and live dealer games at 2%, per the company. India exhibits a more balanced distribution: lottery holds about 35%, live dealer games 29%, and online casino, betting, and fantasy sports each contribute roughly 10%. In Europe, Blask notes that Italy’s search demand is influenced by football seasonality, with fantasy sports leading the way at around 37%, while Switzerland has a “casino-first” landscape—online casino accounts for roughly 38% of total demand there. Across all analysed markets, Blask identifies two recurring trends: well-established categories tend to stay the largest, and regulation significantly impacts demand—interest moves to adjacent or offshore sectors when certain verticals are restricted.

The platform now supports the Nigerian Naira. The launch includes revamped navigation, enhanced support pages, and improved payment-related communication. BC.GAME Launches Nigerian Site With Lagos License Instead of focusing solely on product volume for the launch, BC.GAME is placing equal emphasis on local accessibility and platform clarity. The company noted that Nigerian players can access sportsbook and casino services via a dedicated local domain, with Nigerian Naira (NGN) support integrated into the rollout. Nigeria follows Kenya in BC.GAME’s regulated market expansion strategy. The company said this new launch is its second in a regulated market, coming after securing a Kenyan license last year.

This launch allows us to bring these elements together in a market with significant long-term potential.” For BC.GAME, entering Nigeria is another step in its broader regulated market plan. For the local market, it introduces an additional licensed sportsbook and casino brand at a time when operators are seeking stronger regional positioning across Africa.

(AsiaGameHub) -   LiveScore saw growth in FY25, with the UK contributing the majority of this progress. That said, a heavier tax burden now looms over 2026, which could place new pressure on profit margins. Good to Know FY25 total turnover rose 15% to £206.3m. UK-based turnover climbed 26% to £175.6m and made up 85% of the group’s total revenue. Regulus Partners estimates extra UK tax costs of £20m to £25m from April. UK Growth Boosts LiveScore But Tax Pressure Mounts LiveScore Group reported turnover of £206.3m for the 12 months to 31 March 2025, up 15% year on year. The UK drove that result, with turnover up 26% to £175.6m. That left the market accounting for 85% of total group revenue. Regulus Partners noted that LiveScore beat the wider UK market. In a note released on Monday, the firm said LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet outperformed market growth by 20 percentage points. Outside the UK, the picture was weaker. European turnover fell 29% to £16.3m after LiveScore shut its Netherlands operation in November 2024 under tighter regulatory pressure. That exit created a £6m headwind during the period. Rest of world turnover also dropped, down 14% to £14.4m. Regulus said that may reflect softness in Nigeria. The business mix stayed heavily consumer led. B2C made up 90% of FY25 turnover, while B2B advertising contributed 9%. Losses narrowed, but the group still finished in the red. Gross profit rose 14% to £158m, while cost of sales increased 18% to £48.4m. Operating loss improved to £26.7m from £50.7m a year earlier. EBITDA loss improved 61% to £15.2m. Part of the cost base came from internal changes. In November 2024, the group booked £3m in restructuring and streamlining costs, listed as redundancy expenses. LiveScore said the lower loss came from gross profit growth outpacing continued spending on marketing and the LiveScore brand. The main issue now is tax. From April, the UK burden rose to 40% of GGR after the Remote Gaming Duty increase. Regulus estimates that could add £20m to £25m in extra costs before any mitigation. LiveScore also pushed beyond the UK during the period. Virgin Bet launched in South Africa in March, giving the group its first market outside Britain. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   As AI-driven fraud becomes more difficult to detect, Slotegrator is urging operators to stop viewing defensive measures as optional. A new report from the provider concentrates on how online casinos and sportsbooks can adapt as deepfakes, synthetic identities, and bonus abuse grow increasingly sophisticated. Good to Know Slotegrator states the guide is designed for online casino and sportsbook operators confronting AI-powered fraud. The 16-page publication features a 13-point checklist for fraud protection. The company asserts that standard KYC checks are no longer sufficient by themselves as fraudulent tactics continually evolve. Slotegrator Pushes Operators Toward AI Led Fraud Defence The core message is straightforward. Fraud prevention teams can no longer depend on a single checkpoint. Slotegrator advises that online casinos and sportsbooks require tools that monitor, analyze, and respond more swiftly as cybercriminals leverage AI to bypass older security measures. The guide recommends operators plan for the potential failure of their first line of defence and build their strategy accordingly. This warning comes at a time when issues like bonus abuse, account takeover, deepfake-enabled verification fraud, and the use of synthetic identities are receiving heightened focus across the online gambling sector. Slotegrator positions AI tools as indispensable, not merely optional extras, contending that contemporary fraud challenges exceed the capacity of manual review teams alone. Olga Ivanchik, COO at Slotegrator, said:“Ultimately, the law of survival of the fittest will prevail. Brands that embrace the new reality by implementing AI tools will withstand the very threats that overwhelm competitors clinging to outdated methods.” The report targets both new and established operators. On the product front, Slotegrator notes AI is already utilized in adaptive user experience, real-time marketing, predictive lifetime value modelling, and risk management. The publication contends fraud prevention now demands equal priority. About the report While concise at 16 pages, the report is structured to provide operators with a practical outlook on the future direction of fraud threats. Moving beyond a superficial analysis, Slotegrator merges a wide-ranging threat assessment with a more actionable response framework. This incorporates a 13-point fraud checklist centered on behavioural signals and operational data points that online casinos and sportsbooks ought to monitor more rigorously. A significant portion of the report examines the evolution of fraudulent techniques. Slotegrator reviews well-known risks like account takeover and bonus abuse, but the more pointed insight is how AI is rendering older security controls less effective. Deepfake technology, for instance, is intensifying the strain on KYC systems, as even liveness checks and identity verifications can be more readily falsified. In this environment, the report maintains that document verification alone is inadequate.Consequently, the guide places greater emphasis on behavioural monitoring. Slotegrator advocates that operators must observe how users behave throughout the platform, not merely validate uploaded documents. This comprehensive perspective is presented as a primary method for detecting suspicious activity sooner, particularly as synthetic identities and AI-aided fraud grow more challenging to identify at the point of entry. The report also incorporates current fraud statistics to illustrate the pervasiveness of the problem and the potential harm it can inflict on iGaming companies. Additionally, Slotegrator uses the publication to detail how its proprietary anti-fraud solutions are designed to assist operators in identifying, evaluating, and addressing risks in real time. In summary, the intended audience is evident. Slotegrator is communicating directly with online casino and sportsbook operators seeking to minimize their vulnerability to AI-powered fraud and strengthen risk management before these threats expand further.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Thai police have detained Pei Min Si following a dawn raid in Pattaya on April 9. Officials connected him to the Shwe Kokko online gambling network and acted pursuant to a warrant request from the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok. Good to Know Pei Min Si was apprehended by police at a Pattaya hideout on April 9. Officials have associated the network with 239 distinct channels and upwards of 330,000 active participants. According to investigators, the enterprise has produced THB13.18 billion in revenue since 2016. Thailand Arrest Brings Shwe Kokko Network Back into Spotlight This apprehension brings a protracted case back into the spotlight. The Chiang Rai Times identified Pei as “a key figure” within Myanmar’s illicit iGaming sector, with investigators connecting the broader enterprise to over 239 channels and more than 330,000 active users spanning 31 Chinese provinces. Since online gambling is prohibited in China and legal land-based casino gaming is restricted to Macau, this clarifies why Beijing maintains pressure on cases involving cross-border betting groups located near Myanmar's border regions. According to authorities, Pei has been a fugitive since May 2024, when he exited Thailand for Laos using a Chinese passport. In August 2025, he reportedly re-entered Thailand utilizing a “golden passport” from St. Kitts and Nevis.This pathway to citizenship has previously attracted criticism. St. Kitts and Nevis’s citizenship-by-investment program enables applicants to obtain nationality via a donation of at least $250,000, the acquisition of private real estate worth no less than $600,000, or an investment of a minimum $325,000 in an approved project. Police indicate that cost was likely not an impediment. Since 2016, officials have connected the gambling ring to a turnover of THB13.18 billion (approximately $409.8 million) and profits nearing THB2.4 billion. The Shwe Kokko group continues to be pivotal to the case. Myanmar has stated it is cracking down on illicit iGaming and cyber fraud in the border region, an area frequently labeled as the scam hub of Myanmar. During recent operations, police confiscated and dismantled 3,300 computers and almost 22,000 mobile phones purportedly utilized for placing online wagers. However, external scrutiny remains. The New York Times characterized these raids as “performative,” suggesting the Myanmar military junta employed them to alleviate pressure from Beijing instead of dismantling the broader criminal infrastructure.Chinese officials regard the issue as part of a significantly broader criminal landscape. Legal cases associated with these networks frequently intersect with kidnapping, forced labor, telecommunications fraud, drug manufacturing, and narcotics distribution. In February, China executed 11 individuals from the Ming family in Myanmar following their convictions for telecom fraud, drug trafficking, and murder. This article is provided by a third-party.
