AI in Player Protection: Kanggiten Focuses on Prevention and Speed

The iGaming industry is at a technological crossroads in November 2026, where speed and responsibility can no longer be mutually exclusive. Viktor Cherkas, CEO of platform provider Kanggiten, highlighted during the SBC Summit 2026 that the future of iGaming lies in the automation of protective measures. The company, drawing on over a decade of B2C experience, is now utilizing this knowledge to conquer the B2B market with a highly flexible platform. At the heart of this strategy is the identification of problematic gambling behavior using artificial intelligence.

The transition from operator to technology supplier is a strategic move that responds primarily to the growing demand for platform flexibility. Today, operators require more than just stable systems; they need solutions that can adapt to new regulatory frameworks in record time. Kanggiten distinguishes itself through an unusually high level of internal development, with nearly the entire software suite created in-house. This allows the team to implement complex projects very quickly while integrating state-of-the-art player safety tools.

Numbers and facts

The platform's performance is evident in concrete metrics. According to Viktor Cherkas, approximately 99% of the platform was built internally. This independence from third-party providers means new brand launches can be achieved in as little as two weeks. A prominent example of this strategy's success is Vox Casino. Following its migration to Kanggiten technology, the operator saw gains of more than 10% in key areas such as registration-to-deposit rates and long-term customer retention.

Additionally, the content library is growing rapidly. Through a new partnership with the studio 1spin4win, over 200 additional titles are now available to clients, bringing the total to more than 20,000 games from over 200 providers. Kanggiten now powers more than 50 brands worldwide and serves a base of over 30 million players. Particularly impressive is the growth of partners like 1spin4win, which reported a 47% year-over-year increase in GGR for the first half of 2026.

Background

The focus on Responsible Gambling (RG) is no coincidence. Regulatory authorities worldwide are tightening requirements for player monitoring. Kanggiten is therefore developing AI tools that analyze gambling behavior in real-time to detect risks before harm occurs. Cherkas emphasizes that transparency and clear requirements will be the key to successful partnerships between operators and platform providers in 2026 and 2027.

"We are prioritising the automation of responsible gambling monitoring and preventative measures. The company is exploring AI tools to identify players who may be at risk of gambling-related harm and intervene before problems develop." - Viktor Cherkas, CEO of Kanggiten

Why it matters for German players

For players in Germany, the development of such AI-supported protection systems is of enormous importance, as the State Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021) sets extremely strict requirements for the early detection of gambling addiction. Platforms wishing to operate in Germany must be connected to the central monitoring system LUGAS. The automation pushed by Kanggiten could help technically support compliance with the cross-operator deposit limit of 1,000 euros per month more securely.

The stake limit of 1 euro per spin on virtual slot machines also requires precise technical implementation. German customers benefit when platforms like Kanggiten build their systems modularly, as this allows country-specific rules, such as the 5-second rule between spins or the mandatory panic button, to be implemented efficiently. However, players should always ensure they only play at casinos on the official whitelist of the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL). Only there is it guaranteed that the AI systems and safeguards meet the tough German standards.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

German licensees are desperately looking for ways to reduce compliance costs without compromising safety. A platform that controls 99% of its components offers a decisive advantage: interfaces to LUGAS and the OASIS lock file can be updated faster and with fewer errors. When Kanggiten promises to enable launches in two weeks, it signals to the German market that technological hurdles resulting from legislative changes could be overcome more quickly in the future. The GGL demands transparency in algorithms, and in-house development makes it easier to prove correct functionality to the authorities.
