Provider permissions rebuilt as an exact legal-entity register

All 18 providers were reconciled into a separate entity-level regulatory dataset. Current, pending, historical, B2C-only, recognition and unresolved records are now distinct, and material stale licence summaries were corrected without changing any provider score.

  • The public register launches with 48 exact legal entities, 83 permission records and 20 controlled unresolved claims. Every record names the holder, regulator, legal class, status, checked date, scope and any established identifiers.
  • Provider prose is no longer parsed to create licence matrices or jurisdiction counts. Homepage and licence-guide projections now use current supplier-side records from the normalized register; B2C-only operator licences, expired or surrendered records and unresolved badges do not create a positive supplier-credential cell.
  • Everymatrix IOM Limited's Software Supply permission is recorded as surrendered on 15 May 2026, and Everymatrix Technology (UK) Limited's UKGC record as surrendered on 16 June 2026. Pragmatic Solutions Ontario GRSM1236050 is recorded as expired on 3 April 2026 because no renewal was established.
  • Pariplay's current Gibraltar B2B status is retained without a number because official legacy documents conflict between RGL 054 and RGL 093. Slotegrator's Anjouan claim remains unresolved after no exact holder, domain or current register match was found.
  • Playtech now records both current Alberta registrations and Ormston Limited's Gibraltar B2B role. White Hat's Malta B2C licence now carries its complete Types 1, 2 and 3 scope, while Soft2Bet's known operator permissions and SoftGamings' Curaçao B2C entity are no longer presented as portable B2B supplier licences.
  • Product certification and live market readiness are deliberately excluded. They require their own product/version and deployment-level records rather than inheritance from a brand or group licence.

Provider impact

EveryMatrix

Former Isle of Man and UK permissions are now historical; current UK activities and the pending pool-betting variation are separated.

Score unchanged

Pragmatic Solutions

Ontario GRSM1236050 is corrected from a claimed 2028 expiry to an expired 3 April 2026 record with renewal unresolved.

Score unchanged

Ormston's Gibraltar B2B record and both Alberta supplier registrations are added; deployment-only Ontario and US claims remain unresolved at entity level.

Score unchanged

Pariplay

Current Gibraltar status is separated from two conflicting legacy licence numbers; exact North American records are narrowed by current evidence.

Score unchanged

White Hat Gaming

The Malta B2C scope is corrected to Types 1, 2 and 3 and recognition is kept separate from direct licensing.

Score unchanged

Soft2Bet

Known B2C and conditional records are separated from unresolved Greece and Sweden supplier claims.

Score unchanged

Slotegrator

The Anjouan badge remains an unresolved claim after no exact current public-register match was established.

August 2, 2026 · Material update

All 18 provider profiles refreshed through 2 August 2026

Every profile was rechecked against current corporate, regulatory, product and launch evidence. Material July and early-August developments were added, entity and product boundaries were preserved, and all holistic scores remained unchanged.

  • Aristocrat Interactive now records the separate Michigan and Massachusetts iLottery go-lives and the Lightning Link online content rollout; none is misrepresented as evidence for a different PAM, sportsbook or aggregation scope.
  • Bragg now reflects the closed Drayton transaction, exact minority and majority studio interests, financing and facility changes, the board transition and the additional approximately 19% workforce reduction announced in July.
  • GiG's CoreX Spain certification, GR8 Tech's Setanta Bet Georgia launch and Kambi's Q2 performance, World Cup scale, current licence entities and operational-control failures were reconciled without turning current momentum into a mechanical score increase.
  • Pariplay's Lightning Link distribution, Playtech's bespoke bet365 live-casino launch and regulatory context, and Pragmatic Solutions' Alberta and FIRST.bet execution were added with owned, group-owned and partner-enabled capabilities kept separate.
  • Slotegrator's conflicting APIgrator counts are now shown conservatively, SoftGamings' award status was corrected, SOFTSWISS' first production Oracle Kubernetes Engine rollout was scoped to Casino Platform, and White Hat Gaming's PAM launch and pending Studios-only transaction were separated.
  • Soft2Bet's record now includes the AGCO review and GRAI investigations reported after the Soft2Bet Files, OnlySpins being offline, Betwarts' announced 31 July closure and the provider's position. These remain active inquiries and site-status events, not final regulatory findings.
  • Across the catalogue, 340 N/A or Not applicable placeholder values were converted into true unresolved cells with a specific explanation and no confidence label. The loader now rejects non-empty inapplicable placeholders so they cannot inflate public coverage or be mistaken for conclusions.
  • Altenar, BetConstruct, Digitain, EveryMatrix and Light & Wonder were also rechecked. The first four received narrower product, uptime, leadership or scale conclusions; no material new Light & Wonder event was established. No score changed because current news and field coverage do not calculate the editorial rating.

Provider impact

Altenar

Five public-standard product and assurance gaps were resolved with deliberately scoped negative conclusions; the 8.0 score is unchanged.

Score unchanged

Aristocrat Interactive

Michigan and Massachusetts iLottery went live and Lightning Link launched online; each deployment remains confined to its evidenced product scope and the 8.1 score is unchanged.

Score unchanged

BetConstruct

Current public 90-day service-component availability replaced a generic uptime conclusion; the figures are not promoted into a contractual SLA and the 6.0 score is unchanged.

Score unchanged

Bragg Gaming Group

The closed Drayton deal, exact studio interests, financing, board transition and additional restructuring are now reflected; the stronger content position does not erase execution and balance-sheet risk, so the score remains 6.7.

Score unchanged

Digitain

The current leadership roster now includes the Asia regional appointment and restores a previously omitted executive; the 7.1 score is unchanged.

Score unchanged

EveryMatrix

The current 400-plus-client and 50-plus-market headline replaced the older scale claim, while standard native product boundaries were tightened; the 8.8 score is unchanged.

Score unchanged

GiG

CoreX certification for Spain gives existing clients there a contracted migration path, while the remaining legacy Alira estate is still scheduled through the end of 2026. The stronger platform record does not resolve the financial and execution risks behind the 6.8 score.

Score unchanged

GR8 Tech

Setanta Bet's licensed Georgia deployment now supplies a current sportsbook-iframe reference; the supplier-level score remains 7.0.

Score unchanged

Kambi

Q2 and H1 performance, raised outlook and fully AI-traded World Cup scale were added alongside the April control failures and client compensation; the balanced judgment remains 8.0.

Score unchanged

Pariplay

The current group catalogue and Lightning Link High Stakes rollout strengthen content evidence without attributing all Aristocrat products to Pariplay; the score remains 7.5.

Score unchanged

Playtech

The bespoke bet365 Boost Roulette launch, current regulatory-litigation context and Ontario supplier permission evidenced by live regulated deployments were added. The exact Ontario entity and registration number remain unresolved, and the score remains 8.7.

Score unchanged

Pragmatic Solutions

Alberta day-one execution and the live FIRST.bet integration were added, and the current public integration directory was recounted; partner features remain separate from the owned PAM and the score remains 8.2.

Score unchanged

Slotegrator

Current APIgrator counts now use the lowest defensible live-page values while larger conflicting claims stay disclosed as conflicts; July awards were added and the score remains 6.3.

Score unchanged

Soft2Bet

Active AGCO and GRAI scrutiny, OnlySpins being offline, Betwarts' announced 31 July closure and Soft2Bet's response are now reflected without turning them into a final regulatory finding; the risk-led 4.8 score remains unchanged.

Score unchanged

SoftGamings

The EGR result was corrected from shortlist to category winner and card-cascading evidence was added with its anonymous-case limitation; the score remains 5.8.

Score unchanged

SOFTSWISS

The first production Casino Platform migration to Oracle Kubernetes Engine is now recorded as a staged product-specific rollout, not a group-wide migration; the score remains 8.3.

Score unchanged

White Hat Gaming

The Vegas Club PAM launch, Alberta registration and pending White Hat Studios-only sale were added without misrepresenting the PAM or white-label businesses as sold; the score remains 7.1.

Score unchanged

Regulatory, commercial, shortlist and comparison corrections

The jurisdiction and market guides now distinguish regulator rules from seller estimates, track July 2026 implementation changes, replace unsupported generic commercial ranges with current regulator fees and real disclosed deal structures, and reconcile every thematic shortlist with the canonical provider record.

  • Anjouan's current schedule is €17,828 for B2C or B2B issuance and the same annual renewal, with €500 additional B2C domains. The former €13,300 renewal, fixed three-to-six-week timeline, generic no-tax statement and direct-card-network onboarding claim were removed.
  • Direct Anjouan B2B licences are now separated from recognition letters, and the public-register boundary is explicit. The payment section now treats acquirer, PSP, bank, ownership and target-market acceptance as counterparty-specific diligence.
  • The Curaçao pages now use the CGA's exact schedule: €4,592 to apply plus person-review fees, recurring annual totals of €47,450 for B2C and €24,490 for B2B, and prorated initial annual fees. The process is presented as two eight-week review phases after complete submissions, each extendable by up to four weeks, rather than one guaranteed launch time.
  • The Curaçao supplier transition is separately scoped: the LOK requirement for critical suppliers established in Curaçao begins two years after the law took effect, on 24 December 2026. The CGA's reclassification note also says that before that date a B2B licence is optional for entities serving Curaçao-licensed B2C operators; it does not turn every overseas supplier into a mandatory Curaçao licensee after that date.
  • The Curaçao B2B description now follows the CGA's critical-gaming-supply scope rather than automatically treating payment providers as gaming suppliers. Payment-processor approval and counterparty diligence remain separate questions.
  • The Malta guide no longer presents a market estimate of four to six months as an MGA service level. The MGA publishes review stages, one 60-day incomplete-file window and a normal 90-day go-live window after issue, but no fixed end-to-end application SLA.
  • Malta's scheduled tax change is now explicit: L.N. 84 of 2026 takes effect on 1 October 2026, moving remote Type 1 Malta-player GGR to 15% and Types 2–4 to 10%, while adding a €3,000 annual studio-broadcasting levy for affected critical suppliers.
  • Malta's B2C fee picture now includes the Compliance Contribution in addition to the fixed annual licence fee: Type 1 €15,000/€375,000 minimum/maximum, Type 2 €25,000/€600,000, Type 3 €25,000/€500,000 and Type 4 €5,000/€500,000, with the separate first-financial-year new-operator rule and 12-month approved-start-up moratorium from licence issue. Back-office B2B now shows its €10,000 initial annual fee before the €3,000/€5,000 revenue bands.
  • The Isle of Man guide now follows the current OGRA structure: an Island-incorporated company, an approved designated-official director and, only when that person is non-resident, an approved resident operations manager. The false two-resident-director rule, unsupported 10–12-week SLA, fixed five-year term and 0% VAT label were removed; licences run for up to five years and licensed gambling is VAT-exempt.
  • The UK hub now separates the 30 September 2026 deposit-limit implementation date from financial-risk assessments: Stage 1 thresholds are published, but the start date remains unconfirmed. GAMSTOP copy now uses the Gambling Commission's public 24-hour list-update requirement instead of an unsupported real-time login-check claim.
  • The Ontario, Brazil and Isle of Man material now reflects Alberta's 13 July launch, Brazil's centralized self-exclusion and 17 July advertising-warning rules, and the Isle of Man GSC's Medium High 2026 money-laundering risk assessment including B2B supply-chain vulnerabilities.
  • The Ontario shortlist now removes Soft2Bet, adds GiG and Playtech, and uses supplier registration rather than an operator-licence label. Delivery hubs now include Altenar's established white-label route and the four previously omitted operator-licensed turnkey offerings.
  • All remaining thematic shortlists were reconciled against the same canonical fields. Pariplay was removed from standalone and enterprise platform lists because its evidenced scope is aggregation and RGS rather than PAM; established partner-delivered, partial and product-specific sportsbook, aggregation, crypto, live-casino, PAM, US, Brazil, LatAm, startup and enterprise routes were added without promoting them to native or group-wide capabilities.
  • Capability tables now preserve confirmed, partial or optional, explicit No and unresolved states separately; the previous binary rendering could display an unknown as No or an optional route as a full Yes.
  • Provider review model tables now treat only the regulator-facing licence holder as a structural delivery-model boundary. Custody, data rights, customization, operating scope and exit are taken from provider fields or shown as contract-defined instead of being inferred from white-label, turnkey or standalone labels.
  • The homepage licence matrix now distinguishes a permission established in the current profile from one not established there. Missing evidence is no longer presented as a legal No, and the former token count of a prose licence field is no longer labelled as a total number of licences.
  • Platform-cost and market pages now use current regulator schedules, a public product rate card and actual contract, procurement and filing evidence. Generic white-label percentages and unsupported all-in setup ranges were removed; unlike scopes are explicitly not presented as market averages.
  • The migration guide no longer presents a 16–24-week editorial estimate, mandatory parallel run, unavoidable wallet freeze or delivery-model labels as market rules. It now uses evidence gates, external dependencies and contract-specific exit rights.
  • Visible page freshness and machine-readable sitemap dates now use 2 August 2026. Provider review dates remain profile-specific and all 18 were reverified in this pass.

Four provider profiles deepened and Altenar qualification corrected

A new 494-field evidence pass resolved 91 previously empty conclusions across Altenar, Aristocrat Interactive, Pragmatic Solutions and Soft2Bet, corrected Altenar's white-label experience requirement and preserved all four holistic scores.

  • Altenar gained 34 conclusions across deployment, payments, auditability, retention, AI, compliance, white label and delivery. Its own guidance contradicts the previous conclusion that white-label applicants need no experience: Altenar expects iGaming experience or exposure, or at least an understanding of the ecosystem, alongside a legal entity and business plan.
  • Aristocrat Interactive's Loto-Québec relationship is now recorded as a live Fusion content-aggregation launch rather than a full lottery-platform replacement. Michigan procurement evidence adds a customer-specific reliability conclusion and QA environment, while current hiring material supplies a deliberately product-scoped engineering-stack view.
  • Pragmatic Solutions gained 28 conclusions from its executed customer agreement, current CMS and AWS material, Integration Hub and live security.txt. Partner-enabled SPRIBE, Smartico, Xtremepush, Gluck and crypto rails are separated from the owned PAM; a security contact is not misrepresented as a full vulnerability-disclosure policy.
  • Soft2Bet gained 26 conclusions from current product, payments, CMS, support and security material. The pass records the absence of a public API portal, status page, bounty and disclosure policy while retaining contract-dependent custody, ownership, exit, escrow and commercial terms as gaps.
  • An independent scope review removed conclusions that public silence could not prove and corrected partner capabilities that a native-only reading had missed. No score changed: field coverage informs diligence but does not calculate editorial judgment.

Provider impact

Altenar

Thirty-four gaps were resolved, payment coverage was refreshed and the white-label experience requirement was corrected from No to Yes without changing the 8.0 score.

Aristocrat Interactive

Loto-Québec's content launch and three newly resolved reliability, QA and engineering conclusions strengthen the current footprint while keeping the score at 8.1.

Pragmatic Solutions

Twenty-eight gaps were resolved through contract, security, infrastructure and Integration Hub evidence while the owned-versus-partner boundary and 8.2 score were preserved.

Soft2Bet

Twenty-six gaps were resolved and the CMS builder was corrected from generic layout control to the current drag-and-drop capability; contract-only conclusions remain unresolved and the 4.8 score is unchanged.

Alberta launch status and White Hat Studios transaction added

The database now separates active Alberta supplier registration from proven production go-live across the tracked providers and records Merkur's pending acquisition of White Hat Studios without misrepresenting it as a sale of White Hat Gaming.

  • Alberta's competitive iGaming market opened on 13 July 2026. The current AGLC register adds exact active supplier entities and registration classes for nine tracked provider groups beyond the already current Altenar record.
  • Aristocrat Interactive, GiG, Bragg, Light & Wonder and Playtech have separate launch evidence for Alberta. Registration alone is not treated as proof of a live operator deployment for Kambi, Pariplay, Pragmatic Solutions or White Hat Gaming.
  • Aristocrat Interactive's nearly 40-title content rollout, GiG's LuckyDays launch, Bragg's multi-operator 80-plus-title rollout and Light & Wonder's activated content integrations are now recorded as day-one execution examples. Playtech's Alberta entry is limited to its disclosed casino and live-content scope and unnamed operator roster.
  • Kambi's current conclusion deliberately stops at active registration and its announced Pure Casino agreement because a separate production confirmation for PureCasino.ca was not established by 17 July.
  • EveryMatrix's earlier conditional approval and Soft2Bet's pending application were not upgraded: no known group entity was matched in the current AGLC register.
  • Merkur's agreed acquisition covers White Hat Studios only and remains subject to regulatory approval. White Hat Gaming's PAM and white-label businesses are expressly excluded, so platform ownership and the content-supplier relationship remain separate conclusions.
  • No overall provider score changed. Alberta registration and launch status improve factual currency but do not mechanically alter the holistic counterparty judgment.

Migration guide aligned with the current 18-provider evidence

Stale language written for the earlier 15-provider dataset overstated data-ownership consensus and understated current visibility into notice periods, minimum terms and migration-out costs.

  • The guide now states the current derived results: 13 of 18 profiles establish operator data ownership, seven establish clean portability, eight establish an exit notice period and eleven establish a minimum contract term.
  • The migration-cost answer no longer claims that every provider is silent. Six profiles contain a usable cost conclusion, while two disclosed contracts provide partial benchmarks; no provider publishes a standard migration-out rate card.
  • Eleven prediction-market launch-date cells that used text such as N/A or Not applicable inside a date field were converted to proper explained gaps, preventing them from being displayed or counted as populated dates.
  • Schema validation now rejects populated date fields unless they contain a real YYYY-MM-DD calendar date.

Altenar profile rebuilt around current licences, products and evidence boundaries

Altenar review

A complete 494-field pass corrected Altenar's ownership, legal-entity and licence record, added current litigation and client-status boundaries, rebuilt the product catalogue and preserved the 8.0 overall score.

  • The corporate record now identifies Altenar Technologies Limited as the Isle of Man parent and principal group entity. A South African government disclosure establishes equal 33.3% indirect ownership by Konstantinos (Dinos) Stranomitis, Stanislav Silin and Valeri Sandler, while Companies House independently lists all three as significant controllers of the UK subsidiary.
  • Current regulator records replace stale footer data: UKGC revision -009, the Malta entity and 2023 Romanian decision, the UK entity and current Ontario registration, active Alberta registration through July 2027, and the current Swedish, Greek, Danish and South African permissions. Peru remains a platform homologation and the Philippines item a product approval rather than supplier licences.
  • Altenar's March 2026 U.S. antitrust case against Sportradar and parallel UK competition claim replace the previous no-litigation conclusion. Altenar is the plaintiff and no liability finding has been made; the material editorial implication is dependency on official live sports data, not provider misconduct.
  • The public catalogue now follows the four products in Altenar's current navigation: Sportsbook Module, Turnkey Sportsbook, Retail Solution and White Label. Managed trading, PAM and casino aggregation remain important capabilities without being misrepresented as additional top-level products.
  • One hundred sixty-one unsupported, non-applicable or overbroad values were returned to honest gaps. These include generic infrastructure and security controls inferred from Kubernetes or ISO, prediction-market and crypto descendants, casino features inherited automatically from suppliers, operator data and exit rights, funding and licensing-assistance assumptions, merchant and banking assumptions, and a full layer of invented SLA and contract terms.
  • Confirmed product corrections include SDK availability, Splash Tech free-to-play games, the partner-supplied payments boundary and a current Agreegain distinction: Altenar markets 25,000+ turnkey games, while Agreegain's own present catalogue claim is lower and should not automatically inherit the full Altenar total.
  • Commercial evidence now separates vendor targets from contract rights: a best-case four-week white-label target, a three-month named JustBet launch, 24/7 support, dedicated account and integration managers, live chat and ticketing, and a ten-minute response target. The support-channel vocabulary now preserves ticketing as a first-class conclusion instead of dropping it from the structured value. Pricing, service credits, liability, renewal, termination, portability and outbound migration terms remain unresolved.
  • The rebuilt profile contains 304 populated conclusions and 190 explicit gaps, four current product cards and five fresh local visuals. The holistic score remains 8.0: sportsbook quality, delivery flexibility and regulated execution outweigh commercial opacity, partner complexity and official-data dependency; field coverage does not calculate the score.

Aristocrat Interactive profile rebuilt around portfolio and contract boundaries

Aristocrat Interactive review

A complete 494-field pass corrected the corporate, licence, product, deployment and security boundaries, added current public iLottery contract economics and exit terms, rebuilt the product catalogue and preserved the 8.1 overall score.

  • Aristocrat Interactive is now classified correctly as a division and reporting segment of listed parent Aristocrat Leisure, not as a separately listed company or one incorporated supplier. Current workforce and location data fill previously unresolved fields, while leadership removes two departed executives and keeps the unfilled Content & Aggregation lead explicit.
  • The licence record adds Aristocrat Interactive Sàrl's active UKGC software permission and separates Aspire Global's B2B licence, AG Software's MGA and UK permissions, and AG Communications' legacy B2C licence and enforcement history. Legacy ISO-aligned and PCI statements are no longer represented as current entity-specific certificates.
  • The product boundary now follows four current go-to-market segments and eight operator-relevant cards. BtoBet, NeoGames and Pariplay are treated as technology heritage rather than current product brands; Awager and Gaming Analytics are added without implying that either is integrated into the online PAM.
  • One hundred unsupported, non-applicable or overbroad values were returned to honest gaps, including generic infrastructure controls, cross-product API assumptions, prediction-market and crypto descendants, and features inherited automatically from partners. Responsible conclusions remain marked inferred and scoped to the supporting product; 342 of 494 cells are populated.
  • Michigan's current direct iLottery contract establishes a real commercial benchmark: 2.5% of draw gross sales, 12% of eInstant NGR, a seven-year term, a US$275m authorization, 7,000 included development hours and US$175 per additional hour. These lottery economics are not presented as a private iGaming rate card.
  • The same Michigan record adds customer-specific recovery, maintenance, service-credit, termination, transition, governing-law and support benchmarks. The evaluator's objections on exclusive data ownership and uptime expectations prevent those two points from being overstated as a universal operator-owned-data or 99.99% SLA conclusion.
  • FireKeepers remains regulator-confirmed proof of a live PAM and sportsbook migration. Big Bola is corrected from implied live Mexico proof to its actual status: an announced full-suite selection without a verified public go-live.
  • The holistic score remains 8.1. Market-leading iLottery, proprietary content, live full-stack proof, current procurement wins and listed-parent strength are balanced by high enterprise TCO, acquired-stack complexity, former B2C control failures, white-label retreat, weaker Platforms momentum and unresolved private iGaming contract clarity.

Pragmatic Solutions profile rebuilt around contract, licence and product boundaries

Pragmatic Solutions review

A complete 494-field pass replaced inherited infrastructure and partner assumptions with the current owned-product boundary, added disclosed contract economics and exit terms, corrected licences and certifications, and preserved the 8.2 overall score.

  • The corporate record now distinguishes the Malta supplier licensee, Gibraltar company and customer-specific Isle of Man contracting entity. Immediate ownership is clearer, while funding source, UBOs, consolidated accounts and several corporate facts remain unresolved rather than inferred from private-company status.
  • Current regulator records and certificates correct the UKGC revision, Ontario validity, Sweden permit, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 scope and awards. Ireland is added as a July 2026 live regulated market; unsupported WLA, GLI UK, responsible-gambling certificate and PCI-level conclusions were withdrawn.
  • The product boundary is now explicit: Pragmatic owns the PAM, CMS/front end, Data Lake, compliance configuration and integration layer. Games, live casino, sportsbook, jackpots, affiliate tooling and most advanced AI are third-party. The live Integration Hub contained 166 named pages; Alea's 16,000+ games and 250+ suppliers remain partner claims, not owned catalogue scale.
  • An SEC-filed 2023 customer agreement supplies the first defensible commercial benchmark: EUR 60,000 setup and migration, EUR 15,000 monthly minimum, 2.0%/1.5% GGR tiers, separate BI, infrastructure, development and account-management charges, and a roughly EUR 366,000 first-live-year floor before hosting and third parties.
  • The same historical deal establishes a 98.6% monthly availability floor, severity response targets, service credits, a three-year term, restricted convenience exit, English law, operator data ownership and up to six months of transition assistance. These are customer-specific evidence, not represented as the current universal offer.
  • Generic AWS, ISO and regulated-market deductions no longer stand in for CDN, active-active, failover, backup, RPO/RTO, WAF, DDoS, MFA or managed-hosting facts. White-label and prediction-market N/A placeholders were converted to proper unresolved or non-applicable cells without confidence labels.
  • A May 2026 extortion-site listing is recorded as an unconfirmed security signal, not a confirmed incident or breach. No provider or regulator confirmation, disclosed evidence, outage or established data impact was found.
  • The holistic score remains 8.2. Strong owned core technology, regulated execution, data control and rare contract visibility are balanced by the weak disclosed SLA floor, high all-in cost, third-party governance, private ownership and financial opacity.

SOFTSWISS profile rebuilt around current entities, products and operator reality

SOFTSWISS review

A complete 494-field second pass corrected SOFTSWISS corporate, regulatory, product, commercial and security conclusions, rebuilt the product catalogue and preserved the 8.3 overall score.

  • The B2B start is now 2013 rather than the 2009 brand date. Stable Aggregator Limited is identified narrowly as the website controller, group IP holding company and active MGA Type 1 and Type 2 B2B licensee, not as a universal contracting entity or consolidated parent.
  • Current leadership removes the former COO, corrects Max Trafimovich to Founder Associate and adds the current operations, finance, security, business-development and Latin America roles. Court and regulatory records improve ownership transparency from opaque to partial without inventing a current parent or UBO table.
  • Commercial scale now distinguishes 1,500+ group-wide brands from overlapping product counts, expands named references and case studies, corrects fiat and PSP coverage, and separates vendor implementation targets from our one-to-three-month full-casino planning conclusion.
  • Product claims were rechecked line by line: Game Aggregator and Casino Platform uptime are separated, the engineering and AI record is expanded, studio onboarding is no longer confused with operator integration, and crypto coverage uses the explicit asset list instead of an irreconcilable headline total.
  • Twenty pseudo-, stale or overbroad values were returned to genuine gaps: seventeen contract, recovery, SSO, routing, exit and onboarding answers plus the platform-wide fiat count, real uptime track record and native Sportsbook virtual-sports conclusion. Three previously unresolved scale and incident conclusions were filled from stronger evidence.
  • The catalogue expanded from seven to eleven cards, broken Jackpot and Managed Services destinations were replaced, four deployment solutions were added, and all twelve SOFTSWISS profile visuals were refreshed from current pages.
  • The holistic score remains 8.3. Product breadth, scale, regulated-market delivery and production ML are balanced by private economics, partner-gated technical detail, mixed internal architecture, no owned studio and incomplete consolidated ownership and financial disclosure.

Playtech profile rebuilt around current regulatory, contract and product evidence

Playtech review

A complete 494-field second pass corrected corporate, regulatory, platform-scale, commercial and product conclusions while preserving Playtech's 8.7 overall score.

  • Current status is public-markets rather than bootstrapped. The FY2025 record now uses 20 countries, 7,400 headline employees, 7,339 audited average personnel, EUR 688.3m B2B revenue and EUR 141.4m B2B Adjusted EBITDA.
  • The assurance and conduct record now distinguishes annual ISO 27001, ISAE 3402 and PCI DSS audit activity from a publicly unconfirmed PCI validation level. It adds Quickspin's 2025 Swedish warning and SEK 650,000 sanction alongside the New Jersey process penalty and historic former-B2C findings.
  • The previous 39M peak-concurrency claim was wrong: it was a dated active-player figure. The defensible observed peak is 80,000 simultaneous users, 70,000 requests per minute and 5,000 logins per minute at one licensee during the 2022 Super Bowl.
  • Playtech Open Platform is now separated from the Marketplace portal. Lottery is no longer presented as a current core vertical, Bet Builder uses the newer all-sports disclosure, and the payment layer distinguishes seven displayed integrations from six named gateway organisations.
  • Public accounts establish revenue share, fixed and usage-stepped fees, minimum guarantees, cost-based development, average 30-day invoice terms and an average 36-month period for contracts carrying setup fees. The Caliente reset also proves an eight-year agreement and migration protections through 2029.
  • The product catalogue expanded from seven to fourteen cards, adding Engagement Centre, Bingo, Virtual Sports, Retail, Payments, the SaaS ecosystem and Managed Services, with current local visuals and a corrected Marketplace URL.
  • The 8.7 score remains a holistic judgment. Product breadth, full-stack delivery proof, balance-sheet strength and 2026 momentum are balanced by opaque standard pricing, SLA and portability terms, concentrated economics, unregulated B2B exposure, switching cost and unresolved Evolution conduct litigation.

EveryMatrix rating reset after full contract, certification and product review

Overall score

9.08.8

EveryMatrix review

A complete 494-field second pass moved EveryMatrix from 9.0 to 8.8. Current PCI, WLA and Curaçao evidence strengthens the assurance picture, but disclosed contract economics establish material lock-in and remaining-term fee risk that the previous score understated.

  • Current evidence replaces the stale security conclusion: the PCI DSS 4.0.1 Service Provider Level 1 attestation runs to August 17, 2026; WLA-SCS:2024 Level 2 runs to June 1, 2029; WLA responsible-gaming certification runs to September 29, 2026; and the Curaçao B2B license is active under the LOK regime.
  • A disclosed 2020 operator agreement had a 36-month start period, required 12 months' written notice, allowed the earliest ordinary exit at month 48 and then continued indefinitely. These are historical negotiated terms, not a universal current template.
  • The same agreement disclosed EUR 6,400 monthly operations plus, from month 19, EUR 17,500 minimums for CasinoEngine and Sportsbook. The resulting EUR 41,400 monthly benchmark excluded compliance costs and revenue share, while operator breach exposed remaining-term charges.
  • Live Kafka access supports practical data availability but does not establish complete outbound portability. Export schemas, historical scope, transition assistance, deletion evidence, fees, standard SLA credits and current exit schedules remain contract-specific.
  • Casino scale is corrected to 45,000+ games through 182+ direct vendor integrations spanning 355+ studios and 380+ jackpots. The product catalog now separates EngageSuite from Bonus Guardian and Lottery from Omnichannel, and adds turnkey and managed-services coverage with current visuals.
  • The 8.8 score remains the highest in the dataset. It is a holistic judgment: exceptional breadth, regulated references, current assurance and financial strength outweigh the risks, but feature depth and profile completeness do not erase contract and execution exposure.

GiG rating reset after full financial, platform-control and contract review

Overall score

7.06.8

GiG review

A complete 494-field second pass moved GiG from 7.0 to 6.8. Its broad regulated-market stack remains credible, but the previous record understated workforce contraction, cash pressure, direct platform-control events, availability history, SweepX retrenchment and exit uncertainty.

  • Latest disclosed FTE and equivalent is 348, not 430: headcount fell from 399 at year-end 2025 during a cost programme. FY2025 loss after tax is corrected to €14.9m, while Q1 2026 produced a €5.2m loss and €4.4m cash outflow against €5.4m quarter-end cash.
  • The regulatory record now includes three New Jersey platform-release and wallet/open-round control orders plus a separate iGamingCloud self-exclusion failure. These are direct platform-lineage events and cannot all be assigned to discontinued B2C operations.
  • The public 99.9% uptime statement is now treated as marketing rather than a contractual SLA or measured history. A disclosed three-day 2023 server failure caused by insufficient redundancy is included, while API latency, multi-region failover, backup cadence and recovery targets remain unresolved instead of inferred from cloud language.
  • Current CoreX, SportX, AI, XSite, ServiceX and SweepX pages were rechecked and given fresh local visuals. SweepX remains marketed but was scaled back after partner exits; XSite and GiG Assistant are current emerging capabilities rather than mature installed-base claims.
  • Public filings establish three-to-five-year terms, generally six months' notice, frequent auto-renewal, change-of-control provisions, rare exclusivity and a roughly 10% SuprNation revenue-share benchmark. Full-stack delivery is now shown as roughly three to six months, while outbound export, transition support and exit cost remain unproven.
  • The 6.8 score remains above Bragg because GiG still has 70+ brands, 31+ markets, an owned sportsbook, deep managed operations and unusually transparent reporting. It moves below the 7.0 tier because post-split profitability, workforce resilience, platform consolidation, availability controls and durable cash generation are not yet proven.

White Hat Gaming profile rebuilt around public contract and current regulatory record

White Hat Gaming review

A full 494-field second pass replaced assumptions about White Hat's SLA, data rights, exit support, frontend and contract structure with disclosed terms, while expanding the regulatory record and preserving the 7.1 overall score.

  • A 2025 SEC-filed PAM agreement establishes a 99.7% monthly availability commitment, service credits, 15-minute P1 response, accepted-maintenance rules and annual SOC 2 Type II work. These are disclosed negotiated terms, not a universal public offer.
  • Operator-licensed PAM data is now recorded as customer-owned and portable: the agreement provides a free export of customer information and paid transition or run-off support for up to one year. Provider-licensed white-label rights remain a separate model.
  • The contract record now exposes a four-year initial term, automatic two-year renewals, a 180-day non-renewal window, CPI-linked increases, a minimum guarantee, separate supplier costs and redacted price amounts instead of treating the full commercial framework as private.
  • Native iOS and Android delivery, operator-managed headless frontends, private API documentation, development and staging environments, disaster recovery and optional third-party poker integration were corrected from earlier missing or negative conclusions.
  • The regulatory record now includes two direct Indiana settlements, historical PAM control defects, the late New Jersey waiver correction and Finnish scrutiny. Approval totals now distinguish 25 North American entries from 24 unique jurisdictions.
  • The holistic score remains 7.1: stronger contractual trust and data-portability evidence is balanced by long-term lock-in, broad SLA exclusions, redacted economics, partner dependency, provider-operated B2C exposure and the expanded control and regulatory history.

Digitain profile rebuilt around current entities, products and operator reality

Digitain review

A full 494-field second pass corrected Digitain's corporate timeline, licence register, data-portability picture, launch timing and AI coverage, while preserving the 7.1 overall score.

  • The company formation year is now 2014, based on the Armenian legal register. The 1999 date belongs to the founder's earlier lottery business, while the third-party B2B Digitain brand began in 2015.
  • The legal-entity and licence record now uses the current UKGC revision, current Curaçao B2B authorisation and Isle of Man, Denmark, Ontario and Bulgaria routes. Supplier readiness remains separate from a live B2C deployment.
  • The 2025 Armenian taxpayer record adds a strong operating-profit signal and a reasoned Digitain LLC revenue floor, without presenting either as audited consolidated group revenue.
  • White-label player access is no longer described as unrestricted, sports-feed APIs are no longer treated as proof of player-database export, and full launch planning now separates software setup from licensing and market-entry time.
  • AI recommendations, churn-risk detection, payments, casino aggregation and migration evidence were rechecked. The product catalogue was rebuilt against the live Digitain navigation, stale redirecting URLs were removed, and every current card now has a fresh visual capture.
  • Unresolved pricing, contract, SLA, recovery and exit terms remain explicit gaps rather than being filled with generic industry estimates. The holistic score remains 7.1 because stronger licensing, product and financial evidence is balanced by governance, conduct and contract opacity.

Soft2Bet rating reset after a full governance and regulatory review

Overall score

8.24.8

Soft2Bet review

The public score moved from 8.2 to 4.8. Product capability remains above average, but unresolved regulatory, ownership, governance, own-brand conflict and reference-quality risks now dominate our counterparty judgment.

  • The previous profile mixed a strong product assessment with an overall recommendation that did not sufficiently price in counterparty and regulatory risk.
  • The earlier public editor_score and catalog editor_rating also conflicted at 8.2 and 6.0. Both fields are now aligned at 4.8.
  • The public ranking moved from fifth to eighteenth; the providers between those positions moved up because Soft2Bet moved down, not because their scores changed.
  • Score confidence changed from verified to inferred because the conclusion depends partly on unresolved governance and regulatory evidence rather than a mechanically provable result.
  • Direct regulatory records are separated from investigative allegations and Soft2Bet's denial; allegations are not presented as adjudicated findings.
  • The product catalog was rebuilt from seven to ten products so the capability picture remains complete even though the overall recommendation fell.

July 10, 2026 · Material correction

White-label licence entity and player-funds assumptions corrected

Four profiles previously attributed B2C licensing or player-funds custody too directly to the B2B supplier. Those conclusions were replaced with the narrower entity-specific picture the evidence supports.

  • A supplier permission, an affiliated operator licence and a market-specific licensed partner are not interchangeable.
  • Where the B2C entity, merchant account or settlement chain is not identifiable, the fund holder is now left unresolved rather than assigned to the platform provider.
  • The corrections materially change contracting diligence but did not, by themselves, change the four overall scores.

Provider impact

Altenar

White-label licensing is now attributed to a market-specific licensed B2C partner, not Altenar's B2B supplier entity; the player-funds holder remains contract-specific and unresolved.

Score unchanged

BetConstruct

The B2C relationship is now scoped to a separately licensed affiliated operator rather than the BetConstruct supplier entity; no universal fund holder is asserted.

Score unchanged

Digitain

The current white-label operating entity and settlement chain could not be established, so the former operator-licence and provider-held-funds assumptions were withdrawn.

Score unchanged

GR8 Tech

Light White Label is no longer attributed automatically to the GR8 B2B entity; its named B2C entity, merchant account holder and player-funds chain remain unresolved.

All 18 provider profiles re-audited against the full research framework

Every provider was rechecked across all 494 schema fields. The result is the first public score baseline for the current source-of-truth dataset.

  • Every provider file now contains all 494 fields in canonical order; unresolved points remain explicit gaps with a field-specific explanation.
  • The published baseline contains 7,822 populated conclusions and 1,070 unresolved gaps across 8,892 provider cells.
  • Corporate, product, licence and operator-entity boundaries were reconciled so adjacent group companies and partner products are not silently attributed to the supplier.
  • Scores were reviewed as holistic editorial conclusions. Seventeen remained unchanged; Soft2Bet was the sole score change. Profile completeness and feature count do not calculate or constrain the rating.

July 10, 2026 · Methodology

Editorial model clarified around conclusions, confidence and score

The database now publishes our best current conclusion rather than a per-cell directory of external claims. Confidence describes how strongly we hold that conclusion; it does not calculate the score.

  • Per-cell source and source URL fields were removed from the public provider model.
  • Confidence is a closed vocabulary: verified, provider evidence or editorial inference. An unresolved gap carries no confidence label.
  • Every ranking uses the same overall editorial score, which can reflect risk and insight beyond the structured fields.

Corrections and provider responses

Anyone may challenge a fact. Providers may also submit a concise, on-record response. We verify that an official response comes from the provider or an authorized representative, then publish it separately from our analysis when it materially addresses the review. A response is never a paid placement, does not overwrite our wording, and does not change a score by itself. Better evidence can change our conclusion; pressure, payment, or disagreement cannot.

  1. 1

    Send the exact challenge

    Include the page, field or statement, the correction you propose, supporting evidence, and your name and role.

  2. 2

    We re-investigate

    We distinguish a factual correction from a changed market reality, a clarification, or an unchanged conclusion.

  3. 3

    The current record is updated first

    When the fuller picture changes, we update the data and explanation and reconsider the score independently.

  4. 4

    Material decisions stay visible

    We add the outcome here and keep an accepted provider response clearly separate from our assessment.

Official responses are limited to 500 words and must directly address the review. We do not publish promotional copy, unlawful allegations, unnecessary personal data, or confidential material. Do not send confidential documents unless we have first agreed how they will be handled.
