SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Logifuture’s virtual sports product Simulate has received certification in Spain.
The supplier has described Simulate as a ‘unique virtual offering’ that allows gamers to instantly simulate the outcomes of basketball, football and tennis events, blending real-time sports dynamics with the speed and convenience of virtual sports.
Logifuture Chief Business Development Officer, Niccolo Cassettari, commented: “With the growing demand for fast-paced and engaging sports content in emerging markets, Simulate has been proven to strengthen our partners’ virtual sports portfolios and deliver an exceptional gaming experience to customers.”
In detail, the addition of Simulate means partner players do not have to wait for games to start and games can be completed in two minutes, with instant payouts. Simulate reportedly attracts over 10 million bets each month.
The certification was gained from a Malta-based software testing house named Global Lab.
Cassettari continued: “We’re committed to meeting the highest industry standards and strengthening our global presence – and this certification marks another step forward in ensuring Simulate is compliant and accessible in regulated markets.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to present our innovative gaming products to future clients in Spain and are excited to be in discussions with key industry leaders in the country who are interested in working with us.
“We look forward to bringing our world-class expertise and knowledge to this market and we look forward to announcing more exciting developments, as we continue to expand our certifications worldwide.”
Notably, Spain is currently looking into stricter gambling measures to boost player protection as it plans to impose additional ID requirements on the sector to limit the participation of minors.
Prior to the announcement, the country’s Ministry of Health was in the process of producing a report which would’ve supposedly showcased a drop in the rates of problem gamblers and the involvement of under-18-year-olds.
However, the Socialist Parliamentary Group (SPG), which comprises of MPs from the Socialist Workers’ Party – one of the halves of the left-wing coalition leading Spain under PM Pedro Sánchez – decided to pull ahead of the expected results and issue a proposal that would put additional data requirements on the sector.
