The European Lotteries Association (EL), the European Casino Association (ECA) and the World Tote Association (WoTA) welcome the European Commission’s plans to modernize the rules applicable to the online environment. As representatives of the licensed and regulated gambling industry in Europe, we cherish the same values of trust, reliability and integrity for our players. We support the right of people to enjoy and play in a nationally licensed secure gambling environment and our members work hard every day to provide this.

The Alliance represents over 150 operators in the gambling and lottery sector in Europe, where together they contribute more than 35 billion euros yearly to good causes and state budgets. Almost 1 million people are – directly and indirectly – employed by the members of the Alliance. With over 350 000 independent points of sale for lotteries and around 900 casinos across whole Europe, these operators offer a wide variety of safe, well-regulated and controlled games and channel the players to this legal and nationally licensed supply of games.

We call on everyone to support our members, to enable this significant contribution to the benefit of
society to continue.

The Digital Services Act package foresees a notice-and-action mechanism. Such mechanism will enable all users to notify online intermediaries about potentially illegal online content or activities and to help the latter to react quickly and be more transparent regarding the actions taken. Our Alliance sees this as an important improvement in the fight against illegal online gambling offerings and looks forward the enforcement and implementation of these measures by the involved stakeholders to protect the interests of all EU citizens.

Illegal gambling operators offer their services online to players located in multiple EU Member States without having obtained any license in such national markets. These practices are illegal and detrimental for consumers and state budgets, as there is no mutual recognition of national licenses in the gambling sector within the EU and no sector-specific EU legislation in that field is needed.

Illegal (not licensed in the country of offer) gambling operators:

§ Do not respect the laws and regulations set up by the national regulators of the EU Member States where they provide their services
§ Make it practically impossible to protect consumers and especially a vulnerable population from the risks of overconsumption
§ Can enhance the emergence of social problems and crime and constitute a major problem in the fight against money laundering
§ Often do not pay taxes in the national markets where their players are located and do not contribute to any public good or specific charities
§ Represent an unfair and unequal competition to the nationally licensed and authorised gambling operators, threatening their legal business models and the substantial sustainable economic and social contribution they provide to EU member states.

Leading iGaming technology provider Checkd Development, part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has partnered with William Hill to launch its Automated Betting System (ABS), enhancing efficiency and engagement in pre-match football and horse racing betting.

Through this partnership, William Hill has introduced a range of automated, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s innovative ABS technology. The system offers users a familiar betting journey, enriched with contextual datapoints, while providing operators with a robust backend solution for efficient bet creation and management.

Next-Generation Betting Automation

At the heart of ABS is Checkd Dev’s proprietary ‘BRUNO’ platform, which powers all of Checkd’s in-house media products and an expanding portfolio of Tier 1 Operator and Media client solutions. This advanced platform automates accumulator bets at scale, leveraging betting trends, pricing data, and user behavior insights to drive engagement and conversion.

First launched in 2024 in collaboration with Flutter Group’s Sky Bet, Checkd Dev’s ABS has since evolved to further optimise accumulator bet presentation and simplify bet-slip journeys. With the ability to automate bet generation across multiple brands and territories, the system reduces manual workloads for trading teams while delivering highly relevant, data-driven betting opportunities.

For football betting, bets are dynamically categorised based on historical form, giving bettors greater insight and confidence in their selections. The system’s user interface (UI) has been refined over two years through deployments with multiple Tier 1 operators and media partners, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.

Industry Leaders on the Partnership

Sandro Di Michele, Director of Horse Racing at William Hill, commented: “This partnership between William Hill and Checkd Dev demonstrates how committed we are to delivering new innovative products to our customers. The ability to deliver at speed has been vital, allowing us to launch both our pre-match football and horse racing products seamlessly ahead of the Cheltenham Festival.”

Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Development, added: “At Checkd Dev, we understand the high standards required to support Tier 1 bookmakers in competitive regulated markets. We continue to expand our technology’s distribution and evolve our products, always striving to stay one step ahead with solutions that simplify operations for operators and media owners. Working with the William Hill team has been a pleasure, and we look forward to further collaboration.”

“Checkd Dev’s ABS has evolved since its launch last year, offering smarter, faster, and more engaging betting experiences.”
