This summer marked the official launch of Casino1, the new online gaming platform from Gaming1, designed, developed and operated 100% from Wallonia. With a B+ license, Casino1 embodies the alliance between local technological excellence and ethical commitment in a highly regulated market.
A Belgian platform, a local design
Casino1 is the latest achievement from Gaming1, the result of more than ten years of expertise developed by our technology teams based in Liège. The platform fully embodies the spirit of “Made in Wallonia”: a robust, innovative and fully compliant platform, developed for our own services, in perfect continuity with our values and know-how, already recognized in turnkey solutions for external partners.
A priority: responsible gambling
Player protection is at the heart of Gaming1's developments, and Casino1 is no exception. From its launch, the platform integrated:
- Compulsory identity verification
- Access to the EPIS list for voluntary exclusion
- Deposit, stake and loss limits accessible to all
- ROBIN: developed in partnership with scientific experts, our suite of behavioral monitoring tools is entirely based on artificial intelligence for prevention and protection of our players. ROBIN’s analysis is based on indicators of online gambling behavior and allows us to identify whether these are potentially problematic so that we can best support and advise players to keep their playing recreational.
Strategic launch to address the risks of the illegal market
Casino1 is part of the fight against the expansion of illegal online gambling. While some platforms, often established outside the European Union, are beyond any control and local regulatory compliance, Casino1 offers a legal, secure and transparent framework. Using an authorized operator helps to strengthen player protection and channel the market towards a supervised and responsible environment.
Local impact investments
Casino1 is the result of sustained internal developments over the past decade, which translates into hundreds of skilled jobs and Belgian technological mastery.
Adapted to a new player profile
In general, our consumption habits have changed with the significant use of digital tools. This is no different for our sector. Therefore, we find that about 70% of players play online; and they navigate freely between several platforms, like fashion or e-commerce consumers, without any special privileged loyalty. Casino1 provides a platform based on trust, security and flexibility, qualities that are all the more essential in the face of aggressive strategies of unregulated websites.
A European ambition
Casino1, like our other initiatives, aims to position Gaming1 as a European benchmark in responsible entertainment and digital consumption. By investing in local innovation and putting the player at the center, we strengthen our commitment to a safer, more humane, more innovative online gaming sector.
