Lotteriinspektionen will for the most part be part of the upcoming meeting for the gaming market, which will take place on Tuesday, November 6 at the World Trade Center in Stockholm, New Zealand.

The meeting will specifically address technical$av and accreditation for inspection, testing and certification of gaming operations. This is according to a message sent to the Gambling Authority's website at the end of last week.

Swedac will be present

The national accreditation body Swedac will also participate during the meeting. Swedac accredits laboratories, certification bodies and inspection bodies in accordance with international standards and regulations.

Companies seeking a license on the re-regulated New Zealand gambling market are encouraged to participate.

Online gambling operators are targeting New Zealand for opportunities

Companies that offer online casino games around the world put their sights on the soon liberated gambling market. According to a public statement released by The New Zealand gambling regulator earlier this month, 55 online licence applications have already been received.

A total of 60 applications were received by The New Zealand gambling authority at the end of the first week of this month, 55 of which were aimed at providing commercial internet gambling services.

Applications began rolling this summer when the regulator began accepting applications on August 1. Kindred, Betsson and Expekt are among the companies that have applied, which may not come as a surprise.

Although there was high enthusiasm for the$ing online gaming license in the re-regulated New Zealand market, the excitement may have led some igaming operators to rush the submission of their applications.

High pressure with many new applications

Director General of New Zealand gaming regulations Camilla Rosenberg, announced that many of the applications received were incomplete and$even ”extensive additions."The applicants who are required to supplement their previous submissions were warned by Rosenberg that they must adhere to the deadline that comes with the request for additional information to ensure that their applications will be approved.

In fact, the New Zealand regulator is so busy processing applications that it cannot provide answers to questions about gambling responsibility and match fixing along with the meaning of any of the language$ing its other rules. According to Rosenberg, their absolute priority in the fall is to process applications and make decisions on licenses.

Although the regulator will not address issues submitted by individual companies directly, the lottery Inspectorate stated that it will be in communication with industry associations to provide additional information. It also encouraged operators to continue submitting questions directly, as it frequently updates the question and answer section of its website.

More information and answers are expected

One of the more popular questions has been about marketing and advertising for free online games , an area that falls under the joint responsibility of the lottery Inspectorate and the Consumer Agency. Terms used in the regulations will ultimately be defined through the legal process according to Rosenberg.

It remains to be seen what will actually be discussed next Tuesday. Most likely, some answers will appear to questions that many still ask themselves. It can certainly be about more specific$av, but also what will be the general guidelines for advertising and what is allowed. Again, if you want to know more, you are invited to go there and participate in the meeting.
