Aristocrat Interactive, the rebranded online Real Money Gaming (RMG) division of Aristocrat, has received certification from the Washington State Gambling Commission to roll out its OASIS system to Class III operators across the State. OASIS is a comprehensive casino management system designed to offer a superior experience for land and sea-based operators.

Through this new jurisdiction approval, OASIS is now available to all 29 federally recognized tribal casinos in the state with a Class III Gaming Compact. This approval builds on OASIS’ existing authorization for Class II gaming in Washington, as BJ’s Bingo & Gaming in Fife, WA has used Aristocrat Interactive’s OASIS system for many years.

“We are thrilled that our OASIS system has been licensed by the Washington State Gambling Commission, and we look forward to working with more Casinos as we expand our footprint across the state. We strive to provide our casino partners with innovative solutions, helping them stand apart from their competition,” Kristen Jones, VP Sales of Aristocrat Interactive Gaming Systems, said.

With 360 partners across North America, Aristocrat Interactive Gaming Systems’ product suite has proven to be a key addition to casinos looking to enhance their operational capabilities. Quinault Beach Resort will be the first operator to incorporate the OASIS system through this new approval.

“We look forward to being the first-Class III casino in Washington to utilize the OASIS system across our casino floor. It is a cutting-edge solution that we are confident will lead to increased efficiencies across our operations,” Mark Palmer, GM at Quinault Beach Resort, said.

DNSFilter has released the information gathered through its DNS content filtering platform regarding gambling traffic, both malicious and legitimate, in the lead up to Super Bowl LIX. The data showcases key threats during the NFL playoff season, particularly in January during the NFL playoffs, where unsanctioned streaming and gambling activities increased.

On the day of the Super Bowl, DNSFilter blocked 57% more malicious content related to gambling and betting compared to the rest of the NFL post-season. Previous high spikes to these malicious betting sites coincided with Super Bowl LVIII and 2024 March Madness.

Since sports betting is now legal in a majority of US states, overall traffic to DNSFilter’s gambling category has increased over the last year. Compared to the same timeframe last February, daily traffic to all gambling sites has increased 71%, surpassing DNSFilter’s overall network growth of 16%.

Other key statistics and insights from DNSFilter’s research, focusing on online threats leading up to the 2025 Super Bowl, include:

Streaming Media and Malware:

A 15% increase in illegal streaming and torrenting traffic related to fake streaming sites during championship weekend compared to the previous average held between May and December 2024, indicating an escalating risk of security issues tied to streaming during major NFL events. This week had the highest traffic to illegal streaming sites ever on the DNSFilter network. Unauthorized streaming is a common risk factor for organizations, especially with unmanaged devices accessing potentially harmful content.

Threats by Domain:

Domains related to the NFL have been seeing increased security threats, with spikes in malicious activity associated with streaming sites, gambling and possibly phishing attacks targeting Super Bowl fans or bettors. Threat domains with “football” in the domain name surged in January, with spikes on January 14, the day after Super Wild Card Weekend, and Super Bowl Sunday.

Fake Betting Site Trends:

A significant 20% of malicious gambling domains identified during the NFL playoffs used a string of numbers in their names, a common tactic for “mirror” sites that attempt to evade detection. If you’re unsure of the legitimacy of a gambling site, this is an indicator that it may be a scam.

Most malicious domains related to betting were categorized as malware, while most traffic came from newly registered domains. A site with a captcha does not necessarily mean it is safe. Some malicious sites will show a captcha before entering because the host is suspicious of the site, but has not taken it down. DNSFilter encountered a handful of fake betting sites with Captchas during this investigation.

TK Keanini, CTO of DNSFilter, said: “Our technology prevents access to unwanted content by identifying and categorizing threats and harmful sites before a connection is made. With real-time insights into evolving tactics, we’re committed to staying a step ahead, safeguarding users from threats tied to high-profile events like the Super Bowl. By continuously educating and protecting users, we can help foster a safer online environment during sporting events and beyond.”
