Roger Cowin introduces himself as the Technical Compliance Specialist at Vixio Regulatory Intelligence. The company is known as a global reference point for gambling regulatory intelligence.
“My name is Roger Cowin and I am the Technical Compliance Specialist at Vixio.”
Vixio tracks gambling regulations and requirements across more than 180 jurisdictions. This allows clients to enter new markets and launch products with confidence.
The platform provides clarity on regulatory changes, product requirements, and compliance obligations. It enables decision makers to plan market entries, adjust product development, and maintain compliance.
“We support the world’s leading gambling brands by helping them make confident, informed decisions.”
Vixio’s team includes specialists in law, compliance, and regulation. Each member covers particular regions or subject areas, which creates a wide base of knowledge.
The outcome is trusted, independent regulatory intelligence that clients can apply directly to their business strategies.
“I personally focus on all areas of technical compliance.”
Compliance requirements are becoming stricter and more complex. Regulations are often published in different languages, spread across multiple sources, and updated constantly.
In 2024 alone, Vixio tracked 153,000 updates. Only 315 of these required direct action, but missing even one of them could lead to heavy fines or the loss of a license.
“If a company misses one relevant update, the consequences can be severe.”
Recent years have brought new challenges in product and technical compliance. Suppliers face increasing pressure to align with regulators, while still delivering products quickly.
A Vixio survey revealed the following trends:
Compliance teams therefore need to act faster, with less margin for error, while meeting market timelines.
“Speed to market is critical, but compliance must not fail.”
The Vixio platform reduces noise and identifies the updates that matter. Instead of spending time sifting through documents, clients receive focused insights and relevant alerts.
The system combines custom notifications, detailed reports, horizon scanning, and support from experts. Even regulators and policymakers use it to research global best practice.
“Clients are no longer drowning in information. They get what is truly relevant.”
The technical compliance product was the first unified tool in the industry. It consolidates information, links to original sources, and provides real time alerts.
Previously, most companies managed compliance through internal spreadsheets or outdated libraries, which created risks. The platform closes this gap with a streamlined and reliable solution.
“Before this product, there was no single solution for technical compliance.”
Brazil is a clear example. Its rules were spread across more than a dozen documents, mostly in Portuguese. With Vixio’s tool, requirements were mapped instantly and translated into English, cutting preparation time from months to days.
“Comtrade Gaming explained that what once took weeks or months now takes only a few clicks.”
Other clients have reported the same benefits. Products reach the market faster and companies gain a competitive edge. For instance, Hacksaw Gaming reduced weekly research from several hours to only a few minutes.
At launch, the tool compared 65 technical requirements across 24 markets. In early 2025, Vixio added 80 information security requirements for global comparison.
From October, new modules will be added covering Sportsbook, Live Dealer, Player Account Management, Responsible Gaming, and Platform Requirements. Updates are tracked daily to maintain accuracy.
“Clients asked for more coverage, so we are delivering it.”
The next steps include a workflow tool for regulatory change management, alongside AI-driven analytics. These improvements are designed to forecast compliance requirements and give companies time to prepare before new rules are enforced.
“We are working towards predictive compliance forecasting to anticipate changes in advance.”
Vixio continues to expand the platform, both in features and global reach. Companies can follow ongoing updates and new releases directly from the source.
