Konami Gaming subsidiary Konami Australia is a finalist in the Regulating the Game Global Awards 2026, adjudicated by representatives from the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL), The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) and Leagues Club Australia.
Konami’s SYNK Vision biometric player tracking solution has been named a finalist for RegTech Solution of the Year, recognising innovative technology improving compliance, AML, safer gambling or integrity outcomes.
Tom Soukup, SVP & Chief Systems Product Officer at Konami Gaming, says: “The potential for SYNK Vision to deliver transformative advancement is unmistakable, especially as it relates to anti-money laundering, compliance and player protection.
“This important acknowledgement of Konami’s SYNK Vision in the Regulating the Game Global Awards is credit to our valued casino customers and team members for working collaboratively, pushing casino systems technology to new heights of innovation, efficiency and responsibility.”
Organised by the annual gambling law and regulation conference Regulating the Game, the Regulating the Game Global Awards 2026 event takes place on March 10th in Sydney, Australia.
Installed at casino table games and EGMs, SYNK Vision can securely identify, track and protect players automatically based on biometric facial characteristics, regardless of whether they are members of the venue’s established player loyalty program.
Gerard Crosby, SVP & Chief Games Product Officer at Konami Gaming and Director of Konami Australia, adds: “SYNK Vision equips gaming facilities to rapidly detect barred players, immediately notifying personnel and locking the machine from play if associated with an EGM – all while preserving player privacy across its gaming ecosystem.
“In addition, its advanced identity‑verification capabilities enhance AML tracking and compliance efforts across regulated venues. Konami is happy to support regulated gaming markets with this previously unattainable ability, to the benefit of countless communities and individuals.”
