Canada's OLG selects Bede Gaming as new platform provider

Bede Gaming was awarded the contract following an open procurement process and aims to roll out OLG's new platform in early 2020.

The contract award follows OLG's initial request for proposals in May 2017 for platform suppliers capable of improving the lottery's online player experience and responsible gambling measures, and marks Bede's first entry into the North American market and lottery sector.

"I'm absolutely delighted to welcome OLG to Bede and am extremely proud of the team effort involved in bringing this agreement to fruition," said Bede Gaming co-founder Michael Brady.

"It is a huge recognition of the strength of our offering and firm proof of our status as a leading gaming platform in the industry. This is a landmark contract win for Bede and I am sure will be the start of a long and successful relationship with one of the most respected names in the worldwide lottery sector."

In addition to player management and games integration, Bede's platform offers OLG a number of options to help manage responsible gambling in real-time, such as the ability to set fine-grained limits, self-exclusions, and other support tailored to players needs.

OLG chief operating officer Greg McKenzie commented: "We are investing in digital technology and product solutions to improve the customer experience and ensure we are responsive to changing customer expectations.

"The platform Bede will provide a central point of integration for OLG’s products and channels. We are looking forward to developing our relationship with Bede as OLG continues its digital transformation."

Malware in fake Fortnite Android apps is already spreading

Malicious websites offering Android versions of Fortnite downloads have been discovered already, just days after the game was officially launched as a beta outside of the Google Play Store.

Developer Epic Games had already announced the game would not be available through Google Play, in a move that avoids it having to pay Google’s 30% cut on all purchases made, and instead provides the game as a download through its own website.

In a Wired report, the publication found seven websites advertising Fortnite for Android, all of which were then identified to carry malware by security experts Lockout. Upon investigation, the most common malware fools downloaders into visiting websites loaded with ads, on the promise of a code or opportunity to download the Fortnite game.

It’s also pointed out that before Google and Bing responded to complaints, the top search result for an Android version of Fortnite led not to the official version, but one loaded with malware.

Lookout’s Christoph Hebeisen told Wired why Fortnite not being available in the Google Play Store makes it interesting:

“When we are looking at fake apps that pretend to be a particular game, and that game is available on the Play Store, there’s a fairly high barrier for people to download that game from somewhere else, because they know that’s not a legitimate source.”

Fortnite does not have this safety barrier, and the consequences are already evident.
