Sports betting provider secures authorization in key state as North American growth journey gathers pace

Global B2B sports betting service provider FSB has taken another major step
forward in the North American region with official licensing approval secured from the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) in their latest public hearing.
Following a unanimous recommendation from the NGCB earlier in the month, the awarding
of the Manufacturers and Information Service Provider license was officially rubber stamped on Thursday in Las Vegas in what is a significant development for the rapidly expanding award-winning
global supplier.
FSB, recently crowned EGR Multi-Channel Supplier of the Year, are now firmly positioned to offer partners their world-class omnichannel sports wagering services within the key jurisdiction enabling them to carefully curate the exact sports betting experience required for their player base and the Nevada market.
Dave McDowell, Chief Executive Officer at FSB, said: “Receiving our license in this crucial, critical jurisdiction clearly captures the momentum we’re experiencing as a business at this moment. We aspire to be part of the long-term sports betting story in Nevada and look forward to embracing this market opportunity and, in the long term, aspiring to disrupt the North America region generally with our Tier 1 tech stack. We are very thankful to the NGCB for their time and attention over this thorough, detailed process.”
Ian Freeman, Chief Revenue Officer at FSB, said: “This is a hugely satisfying moment for us all at FSB. Securing a licence in Nevada was a central pillar of our long-term strategic plan for the North American region. This milestone moment represents a significant step forward towards realising our commercial goals and communicates a clear message that FSB is stepping into the No.1 global challenger brand slot in B2B sports betting. We now look forward, with confidence, to going live in this critical market with key segments of our client base.

AU10TIX Launches Free Assessment Tool and Readiness Guide to Help Organizations Navigate Child Safety Age Assurance Compliance

AU10TIX, a global leader in identity verification and fraud prevention, announced the launch of a free Child Safety Age Assurance Risk and Readiness Assessment and Age Assurance Readiness Guide designed to help businesses better understand their risk and tailor their strategy to meet regulatory obligations. They support AU10TIX’s Selfie-based Age Estimation service, which delivers the industry’s most precise and unbiased age assessment in just two seconds.
In the US, federal legislation such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires parental consent for users under 13, while the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) mandates age verification for websites accessed by users under 16. Additionally, 19 U.S. states now enforce mandatory age checks for adult content and gambling platforms. Similar regulations are impacting social media and online services in the UK, EU, and Australia.
AU10TIX’s free Child Safety Age Assurance Risk and Readiness Assessment consists of six short questions about an organization’s sector, security measures, and ID verification processes. Upon completion, participants receive a customized Risk Assessment Report outlining key vulnerabilities and practical recommendations for improving compliance. They also receive a comprehensive 13-page Age Assurance Readiness Guide to help them navigate the complex landscape of age verification regulations.
“As age-based regulations expand globally, businesses are actively seeking guidance on how to balance security, compliance, and user convenience. Our new Risk and Readiness Assessment helps organizations identify their unique risks and stay compliant without compromising the customer experience. This perfectly complements our Selfie-based Age Estimation solution, which adds an extra layer of protection to help ensure safe use of our platform by minors,” said Yair Tal, CEO of AU10TIX.
AU10TIX also offers a Selfie-based Age Estimation solution that leverages advanced AI-driven biometric technology to analyze facial features and estimate age without the need for a government-issued ID. It streamlines the experience by requiring only a selfie, cutting verification time to two seconds while delivering the industry’s most accurate age estimates. It simultaneously conducts a liveness check and analyzes the selfie using AI models trained on millions of biometric data points, which accurately estimate age without storing any personal data. By reducing the need for full ID verification, this approach can reduce costs by up to 10x and boost completion rates by 27%.

AGCO Removes Cap on Seller Commission for Charitable Lottery Products

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has updated several lottery policies to remove the cap on seller commission for Paper Raffles and Media Bingo, along with removing the prohibition on Catch the Ace paper lotteries, to align with other charitable lottery products.
Licensed charities may now negotiate commissions directly with sellers and determine commissions, provided they are reasonable and tied to the cost of service provided by the seller.
These updates further the AGCO’s commitment to adopt an outcomes-based regulatory approach and reduce burden for the charitable gaming sector. Local charitable organizations will have greater flexibility to make decisions that best serve their fundraising objectives.
Important Reminders
• Charities must still receive approval for other expenses incurred under their licence and retain receipts for seller commission paid.
• Licensing authorities will not require documentation to be submitted as part of the application process, however, charities are still subject to audit to determine compliance.
• Charities are reminded of their legal requirement to meet their obligations under the Criminal Code and with respect to conducting and managing a charitable gaming scheme.
• As with all licensed charitable lottery events, charities must take the necessary steps to ensure that they are conducting and managing the lottery event within Ontario.
For charitable gaming-related inquiries, email an AGCO Eligibility Officer at [email protected] or call AGCO Customer Service at 1-800-522-2876, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

As industries like fintech, crypto, iGaming, and AI have matured, so has the firm, often in parallel with its clients. “We’ve all grown together with our clients from one success to the next, whether it be helping clients complete financings or helping them close business,” said Managing Partner Alon Segev. “I look forward to continued growth for us and our clients in the next 10 years!”
The firm’s client-first approach has consistently earned recognition from top legal ranking guides. Segev LLP is ranked by Chambers and Partners as a “Leading Firm” and “Band-1” in Canada for Gaming Law and are also recommended by The Legal 500 and Lexology.

“Together with our clients, [Segev] has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. I’m honored to have contributed to this journey and to celebrate these shared successes,” said David McHugh.
“Segev has cultivated a thriving law practice on the principle that challenges are to be embraced as opportunities. The approach has enabled us to grow as lawyers, but more importantly, it has enabled us to ensure the success of our clients,” said Mark Balestra.
“Since joining through Segev’s Ontario expansion, I’ve had the chance to work alongside some of the sharpest and most collaborative lawyers in the gaming space,” added Manav Bhargava. “As a full-service firm and industry leader, Segev stands out for its ability to support innovative businesses with practical, forward-thinking legal advice.”
Segev LLP will commemorate the anniversary with a series of internal and external initiatives throughout the remainder of the year.
