Gaming Standards Association Announces Agreement with BlockRe

Blockchain enabled applications are starting to proliferate with more and more use cases being identified and companies announcing solutions for the gaming industry. GSA is evaluating whether the use of this risk assessment framework will provide the additional insight for its members that are seeking to deploy or utilize blockchain-based solutions. Additionally, GSA believes the framework may be beneficial for Regulatory Agencies seeking an independent review of solutions positioned to be used in their jurisdictions.

GSA President Peter DeRaedt said, “We are interested in understanding how the use of BlockRe’s framework that lays out technical guidance, risk mitigation strategies, and conforms with relevant regulatory regimes could be of value to gaming companies, operators and regulators.”

GSA Europe’s Managing Director Mark Pace said, “Having an office in Malta, now known as Blockchain Island, where so much blockchain-based innovation is occurring, makes the potential access to such a framework for GSA Europe members very timely and exciting.”

BlockRe President Raymond Zenkich further adds, “BlockRe is excited to be working together with GSA and its members to explore the intersection of blockchain technology, risk management, and regulatory frameworks.”
