Valuable time spent in Seoul, South Korea (ROK) last week meeting with key stakeholders for regulatory and social policy across the South Korean casino and gaming industry.

GLI’s Richard Howarth, Managing Director for APAC, and Paulo Batalha Da Silva, Regulatory Development Manager, engaged with key leaders shaping the future of regulation, policy, and certification.

Discussions with the National Gambling Control Commission's Mr. Lee Jin‑sik, Ph.D., Secretary General, centred on refining best practices in regulatory standards and strengthening certification frameworks for casino products and systems. Conversations with Kyung Hee University's Professor WonSeok Seo brought valuable academic insights into the evolving regulatory landscape. Engagements with the Korea Casino Association, including Mr Lee Jeong‑Haeng, General Manager, and Mr Lee Sang‑Hwa, Assistant Manager, focused on how South Korean casinos can continue advancing Responsible Gambling initiatives, product certification processes, and system performance standards.

These meetings reinforce GLI’s commitment to supporting regulators, industry bodies, and academic partners as they work toward a safer, more innovative gaming environment.

Last week, all 3 GLI offices in Australia came together for one great cause 💛💙

Across our GLI Australia offices, we hosted Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, enjoying delicious bites, coin toss fun, and meaningful conversations in support of the Cancer Council. Together, we’re helping raise funds for cancer research, prevention programs, and vital support services for those affected —making a meaningful difference, one cup at a time.

At the event, the panel will dig into the uncomfortable gaps between security on paper and security in practice, including:

• Why organizations can be fully compliant but still exposed to real-world cyber risk.
• How to speed up certifications without turning security into a checkbox exercise.
• Which compliance practices are outdated and what needs to evolve to build true operational resilience.

Expect sharp insights, practical debate, and a closer look at what actually keeps regulated industries secure in a rapidly shifting threat landscape.

Join industry leaders at the Malta Tech Talk as they challenge assumptions and reshape how cybersecurity, compliance, and resilience are defined.
