Smartico.ai secures UKGC approval for jackpot solution

• Smartico.ai received UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) approval for its jackpot solutions
• The license allows the supplier to supply jackpot systems meeting the UK’s strict RTS 9 Progressive Jackpot technical standards
• UK operators can now access Smartico’s jackpot software, which drives player engagement and boosts revenue with progressive prizes and tournaments

Smartico.ai has secured a key license from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) for its jackpot solutions, enabling the company to provide jackpot software to UK operators. The approval, effective from September 24, 2025, clears the way for Smartico to bring its jackpot systems into one of Europe’s most regulated and competitive markets.

The license granted authorises Smartico to supply jackpot systems that comply with the rigorous RTS 9 Progressive Jackpot technical standards. These standards cover critical areas such as fairness, security, and player protection, reflecting the complexity of jackpot offerings that involve player contributions, prize pools, and distribution controls closely monitored by the UKGC.

Smartico’s jackpot software has already proven its value in other markets by significantly boosting operators’ gross gaming revenue. The systems enhance player engagement with features including progressive prize pools, tournament competitions, and personalised reward mechanics. This licensing approval now enables UK operators to benefit from these innovations under full regulatory compliance.

“Getting UKGC approval feels like winning the jackpot ourselves!” said Yuval Mechoullam, Co-Founder of Smartico.ai. “We’ve been building these jackpot solutions with UK operators in mind from day one, and now we finally get to show them what we can do. The British gaming scene is about to get a lot more exciting – and profitable.”

Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, Smartico underwent the full UKGC review process, which included technical assessments, financial checks, and compliance evaluations against Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards. This approval marks a major milestone for the company and reassures operators of the software’s integrity and secure operation.

With the UKGC license obtained, Smartico is positioned to deepen its footprint in the regulated UK market, providing operators with powerful tools to increase player retention and monetisation in competitive environments. The company’s ability to meet the stringent UK regulatory framework enhances its international reputation and opens doors for further expansion across Europe and beyond.
