Entain extends ethics, legal and compliance training; $100,000 donation to Seton Hall Law School

Entain Foundation US Launches New Responsible Gambling App

 

Entain, through its Entain Foundation US, the group’s  U.S. non-profit affiliate, has donated $100,000 to Seton Hall Law School to provide annual high-quality and robust ethics, legal, and compliance education for compliance and legal professionals in the fast-growing online sports betting and gaming sector.  Entain is the leading global sports betting and gaming entertainment operator which operates through BetMGM in the U.S.

The move builds on the inaugural Gaming Law, Compliance and Integrity Bootcamp, launched at Seton Hall with the Entain Foundation US in March 2020, attended by an initial group of 50. The goal is to make Seton Hall Law’s Bootcamp, the premier annual program in the industry. This year’s Bootcamp is set for September 19-22 at Seton Hall Law’s downtown Newark campus.

The importance of a gaming ethics and compliance training program is increasing. Sports gambling has grown dramatically in the U.S. during the pandemic, and New York and other states are considering legislation to legalize sports betting and other forms of gambling. The Seton Hall Law bootcamp focuses on case studies and key legislative provisions to achieve best practices in state-sanctioned gambling and industry regulation.

For this year’s program, Entain and Seton Hall Law officials anticipate including nationally and internationally recognized experts who will explain:

  • Insights on the global and U.S. gambling markets and trends,
  • Legal and regulatory structures that ensure market integrity and player protection, and
  • Transparent compliance protocols that protect both the public interest and operators.

Entain is the only global operator in sports betting and gaming which supports the provision of education for legal, compliance and ethics professionals in gaming in the U.S., where rapid growth has led to a surge in demand for these capabilities, and regulation differs state by state.

Martin Lycka, Senior Vice President for American Regulatory Affairs & Responsible Gambling said:  “The Bootcamp aligns with Entain’s focus on promoting sports integrity, responsible gambling, and corporate compliance. We look forward to extending our partnership with Seton Hall Law School, a leading law school and a recognized global leader in compliance education, to help provide professionals with the specialist skill needed to support the growth of this sector in the U.S.”

Kathleen M. Boozang, Dean of Seton Hall Law, said, “This funding will guarantee the continued success of the Bootcamp and ensure that gaming compliance professionals have a strong understanding of regulatory frameworks and the ability to identify, scrutinize, prevent, and address unlawful or unethical behaviors.”

The move by Entain follows its recent extension of responsibility and player protection initiatives led by the U.S. Foundation into related sectors, including video gaming and esports. Earlier this month it announced partnerships with the Counter-Strike Professional Players Association, Kindbridge, Rise Above the Disorder, and an expanded partnership with EPIC Risk Management. These four organizations will provide mental health support services and education for players potentially at risk

William J. Pascrell III, a Trustee of the Entain Foundation US and Seton Hall Law alumnus, has been personally involved in championing the growth of sports betting in the U.S.. “This industry is growing very rapidly, and needs the support of top quality legal and compliance professionals who understand the complexities of the regulatory landscape,” he said. “This is a really exciting collaboration which seeks to do that.”

Delasport Now GLI-Certified for Sports Betting in Brazil

Delasport Now GLI-Certified for Sports Betting in Brazil

 

Delasport has just become one of the first suppliers to obtain a GLI certification for its sportsbook in Brazil, two weeks before the historical regulation comes into effect.

Continuing its global growth, Delasport is bringing several operators on board in Brazil. In order to complete the process, operators that are applying for a new Brazilian license have 30 days to provide all relevant platform certificates from the moment that they are notified by the regulator that their initial submission has been accepted. This is also the moment that they can pay the license fee. Still, failure to provide platform certificates will result in the application being placed on hold.

Delasport turned to Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) for the certification of its sportsbook against Brazilian technical standards. The historical partnership with GLI was further strengthened by the news, a few months back, that GLI had become the first laboratory to achieve the local accreditation to certify for betting systems, live game studios, and online games by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) in Brazil.

Delasport has successfully met all technical requirements for providing its sports betting solution to the largest country in South America. The certificate is evidence of the team’s experience, expertise, and determination to lead the way in key jurisdictions.

Obtaining a GLI certification for Brazil is a step towards cementing the trust players and operators have for Delasport’s products. This serves to show that the award-winning supplier is capable of meeting even the strictest industry standards for integrity and fairness.

“When we learnt that providing platform certificates to the regulator was on our partner operators’ critical path for obtaining the license, we immediately prioritized submitting the system to GLI for testing”, Delasport’s Chief Compliance Officer Filippo Ferri said. “Needless to say, GLI did a tremendous job of working with us to conduct the tests in record time, to match the submission deadline of some of our clients. I am also very proud of how our internal departments worked together to obtain this certificate, and of how they continue to push forward with the delivery of a datavault system that complies with SIGAP requirements.”

Operators that plan on entering the newly regulated Brazilian market will now have numerous advantages if they partner with Delasport. They will be able to provide their players with personalization features like My Sportsbook, My Event Builder, and My Combo that skyrocket revenues and retention.

Furthermore, Delasport’s KYC and AML provider is a market leader that guarantees the highest level of compliance for all operators that choose to go on this route.

Also, Delasport has already partnered with numerous local payment system providers and offers a real-time AI-powered Responsible Gambling system which can easily adapt to local regulations.
